Here, we’ll show you everything you need to know to get the most out of Apple Intelligence on your Mac. While not every Apple Intelligence feature is available yet, we’ve covered everything that you can try today in this guide.
Before you get started, you’ll need to ensure that your Mac’s language is set to U.S. English (if it’s not already). To do so, open the System Settings app and go to General > Language & Region, then pick United States from the Region dropdown menu.
Similarly, you’ll need to sign up to the Apple Intelligence waitlist. Open the System Settings app and find Apple Intelligence & Siri in the sidebar. From here, pick Join the Apple Intelligence Waitlist. It usually doesn't take very long before you’re allowed in and Apple Intelligence is ready to go on your Mac.
Once that’s done, you’ll be able to start using Apple Intelligence to level up your macOS experience. Let’s dive right in.

How to use Apple Intelligence’s Writing Tools
Writing Tools are one of the most useful aspects of Apple Intelligence. With these tools, you can rewrite text, proofread it, create summaries, tables and lists, and much more.
Step 1: To proofread a block of text, highlight and right-click it, then pick Writing Tools > Proofread from the menu. Apple Intelligence will automatically correct any mistakes and underline them — select an underlined word or phrase to see how it has been changed and Apple Intelligence’s reasoning. You can also use the < and > buttons to move through each correction. To undo a change, select the Keep Original button (it looks like an arrow pointing left). The Show Original button (to the right of the Revert button) lets you flip between the original and rectified versions of the text; the Revert button undoes all corrections.
Step 2: Apple Intelligence can rewrite your text in various ways. Just highlight some text, right-click it, and choose Writing Tools, then pick either Make Friendly, Make Professional or Make Concise. This will load up a box containing your rewritten text, which you can then copy to use elsewhere. If you try this in a word-processing app like Pages or TextEdit, you’ll see a Rewrite button to the left of the Done button — select it to have Apple Intelligence try again in the same tone of voice that you previously chose (note that you don’t get this option if you try it in a non-word processor like Safari).
Apple
Step 3: Apple Intelligence has a lot of tools for summarizing your text. Highlight it, right-click, and choose Writing Tools, then pick either Summarize, Create Key Points, Make List or Make Table. Each one summarizes the text in a different way, so try them all to see which is most useful in your situation. If you’re using an app where text is editable (such as Pages), you’ll see a Replace option that will swap out the original text for Apple Intelligence’s summarized version.
Step 4: In all these instructions, we’ve said to pick an option directly from the Writing Tools right-click menu. Alternatively, you can right-click and select Writing Tools > Show Writing Tools. This brings up a pop-up box containing the same Writing Tools options as you’d expect. It’s a different way to get the same outcome.
Step 5: If you’d rather restrict access to Writing Tools, open the System Settings app and pick Screen Time in the sidebar, then go to Content & Privacy and enable the toggle next to Content & Privacy. Select Intelligence & Siri, then disable the toggle next to Writing Tools.

How to use Apple Intelligence in Mail
Mail has various Apple Intelligence tools to help you manage your emails more effectively. Here’s how to use them.
Step 1: To view your most important messages, open Mail, select an inbox, then choose View in the menu bar. From here, select Show Priority.
Step 2: Mail shows short summaries under each email in your inbox. You can manually summarize your mail by selecting an email, then choosing Summarize at the top of the message. Note that sometimes you need to scroll to the top of the email to see this option. When it’s done, you’ll see the summary above the message.
Step 3: If you don’t want Mail to automatically show summaries under each email, you can turn this feature off by opening Mail and going to Mail > Settings in the menu bar, then selecting the Viewing tab. From here, disable the checkbox next to Summarize Message Previews.
Step 4: Apple Intelligence can also help when it’s time to reply to your emails. Open a message and pick the Reply button, then click into the main message box. You’ll see a pop up with a couple of suggested themes for your reply (such as “Not interested” or “Reschedule”). Select one of these and Apple Intelligence will draft a complete reply for you.
Step 5: You can refine your emails (whether they’re AI-generated or not) by highlighting the text, right-clicking it, and selecting Writing Tools, then choosing an option like Make Friendly, Make Professional, or Make Concise. There’s also a Rewrite option in this menu, alongside one to proofread your message.

How to edit photos and videos with Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence can be used to remove distracting elements from your photos and look up information about your images’ and videos’ content.
Step 1: Open an image in the Photos app, then choose Edit > Clean Up. Drag the Size slider to adjust your brush size, then either click, brush over, or circle an object you want Apple Intelligence to remove from your picture. When you’re finished, select Done. Note that after clicking Clean Up, Photos might automatically highlight some elements so that you can select to remove them.
Step 2: Apple Intelligence understands natural language requests in the Photos app. Select the search bar in Photos, then type in a natural language query. For example, “Sadie cartwheeling on the grass.” Photos uses name tags you’ve applied to your images (such as tagging people or pets) to understand what you’re looking for. Once you have your results, you can filter them, select images, view them, and more.

How to infuse Siri with Apple Intelligence
Siri has received a much needed and long-awaited boost in the form of Apple Intelligence. Combined with ChatGPT, it makes the virtual assistant more helpful than ever.
Step 1: You can type to Siri, which is ideal if you don’t want to disturb others by speaking to Siri (like if you’re in a library). Just launch Siri, select inside its text box, and start typing. Also new in macOS Sequoia is a quick way to launch Siri: double-tap the Command key on your keyboard.
Step 2: Siri can answer all sorts of questions, whether that’s the latest scores for your favorite sports team or finding recipes using the ingredients you already have at home. Try typing or speaking your request to Siri.
Apple
Step 4: Another new way that Siri utilizes Apple Intelligence is through contextual awareness. Try asking Siri a question about how your favorite sports team is doing this season. When you get your answer, type the phrase “When are they playing next?”, then type “Add that to my calendar.” Siri understands that you’re talking about your team and its next fixture without needing to be reminded. This works with a wide range of requests.
Step 5: You can also ask Siri for help with your Mac (or other Apple products). You can use prompts like “How do I import photos on Mac?” or “Tell me how to connect my AirPods to my iPhone,” and it will understand.
Step 6: To disable Siri’s ChatGPT integration, open the System Settings app and go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy, enable the toggle next to Content & Privacy, then select Intelligence & Siri. Here, disable ChatGPT Integration.

How to summarize webpages with Apple Intelligence
Found a webpage that’s just a wall of text? Apple Intelligence can help make it more manageable and comprehensible.
Step 1: Open Safari, choose the Reader button in the URL bar, then select Show Reader. Pick Summarize at the top of the page to have Apple Intelligence sum up the content for you.
Step 2: Alternatively, select a body of text on the webpage, then right-click it and go to Writing Tools > Show Writing Tools. You can now pick either Summarize, Create Key Points, Make List, or Make Table to get an abridged version of the webpage’s text.
Step 3: To return to the normal webpage view, select the Reader button in the URL bar, then pick Hide Reader.

How to summarize audio with Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence will automatically transcribe audio recordings — and generate summaries of those transcriptions — if you want it to, which could save you a considerable amount of time and effort.
Step 1: Open the Notes app, create a new note, then select the Record Audio button in the app’s top toolbar. Alternatively, open a note that already contains an audio recording.
Step 2: Double-click the recording so that the recording controls appear on the right-hand side. To the left of the red Record button, select the Transcript button (it looks like a set of quotation marks inside a speech bubble). This will transcribe your recording for you.
Step 3: Select the … button above your transcript, then choose either Add Transcript to Note to insert the text into your note or Copy Transcript to use it elsewhere.
Step 4: At the top of the right-hand sidebar containing the recording controls, choose Summary to have Apple Intelligence summarize your transcription.
Step 5: In the summary box, choose …, then Copy Summary or Share Summary to send the summary somewhere else.

How to use Apple Intelligence to summarize notifications and reduce interruptions
Tired of being overwhelmed with notifications? Apple Intelligence can summarize them so you don’t need to read them all, or reduce distracting notifications to keep you focused.
Step 1: To get started, open the System Settings app and go to Notifications in the sidebar. Under Notification Center, pick Summarize notifications, then make sure the toggle next to Summarize Notifications is enabled. You can enable or disable notification summaries on a per-app basis in the list underneath the Summarize Notification Previews From header.
Step 2: If you want to cut out distracting notifications but still get alerted to important ones, use the Reduce Interruptions Focus mode. In System Settings, find Focus in the sidebar, then select Reduce Interruptions. You can now decide which apps and people to allow through, set a schedule, and change how apps and your device act when the Reduce Interruptions Focus is active.
Step 3: Finally, there’s a toggle in this menu titled Intelligent Breakthrough and Silencing. This is the key component of the Reduce Interruptions Focus — it’s what lets important notifications through and blocks others — so it’s on by default. You can enable it on other Focus modes too, if you like.
Apple Intelligence brings a wide range of new features to your Mac, from notification summaries to writing tools and improvements to Siri. Despite that, some features aren’t yet available and are not expected to arrive until early 2025 — that includes Genmoji, the Image Playground, plus better contextual awareness for Siri. We’ll update this guide as soon as those features touch down so that you know how to use them in your daily life.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is experiencing explosive growth at the moment, with everyone in the tech world seemingly trying to get in on the action. That includes Apple, but it’s no secret that the company’s Apple Intelligence platform is struggling to compete with the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. Yet we’ve just had some news that could make that situation even worse, especially for Mac users.
That’s because Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has just claimed that some key Apple Intelligence features won’t be available until 2026 or even 2027, putting the dream of a powerful AI-powered MacBook firmly on the backburner.
For instance, Gurman says that Apple is working on a large language model (LLM) that will power Siri and will be called, appropriately enough, “LLM Siri.” This project means merging Siri’s “two brains” — the legacy and advanced systems — into one AI tool.
Gurman says that LLM Siri could be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June this year. Yet he also believes that it won’t actually launch until iOS 19.4 drops in spring 2026, meaning a long wait to get many of the capabilities that are already standard across the AI industry.
And it could actually end up being worse than that. Adding an LLM to Siri would allow Apple Intelligence to be conversational in the way tools like ChatGPT are and put a huge range of powers at your fingertips. But Gurman says that this aspect of LLM Siri is way behind schedule and won’t be announced at WWDC 2025 at all.
In fact, Gurman says that “people within Apple’s AI division now believe that a true modernized, conversational version of Siri won’t reach consumers until iOS 20 at best in 2027.” Considering the breakneck speed of development in the AI industry, that’s a lifetime away. As Gurman puts it, “That would mean Apple is a half-decade late to the game — an even bleaker timeline than many of us imagined.”
A problem for Mac users
This is a problem for all Apple fans who are interested in the company’s AI efforts, but it’s particularly impactful for Mac users. I’d argue that most people do their most serious work on the Mac, not on an iPhone.
That means Apple’s Mac AI efforts have to be strong for the workloads they’ll help with — the data analyzing, video encoding, and machine learning tasks that are typically performed more on Macs than iPhones. These are all areas that could benefit from an AI injection, alongside more lightweight tasks like writing emails and finding answers to your queries.
So far, though, Apple Intelligence on the Mac is far from that level. Its main elements are uncomplicated text rewriting and basic image generation, and it’s not anywhere near living up to its potential.
Sure, it’s integrated with ChatGPT, which puts a much more powerful AI at your disposal. But why would you settle for having to go through Apple Intelligence when you could just use the much more powerful ChatGPT Mac app or the recently launched Copilot app on Mac? Apple is yet to offer a truly compelling use case for Apple Intelligence on the Mac, and with these purported delays, that situation could persist well into the future.
It’s a frustrating situation, and I’d love for Apple Intelligence on the Mac to fulfil its potential. Imagine a fully personalised AI assistant that can help you with your daily work while still keeping your private data secure. It could be even better than its competitors due to Apple’s tight integration of its hardware and software, whizzing files back and forth between your devices without a hitch. That’s the promise for Apple Intelligence on the Mac, but the reality is far, far away from that.
With the large language model portion of Apple Intelligence being delayed for what could be years, it’s a very uncertain outlook for that AI MacBook ideal. Apple’s rivals have moved so fast that it’s hard to predict what they’ll be serving up by 2027 — but it feels increasingly likely that Apple Intelligence will feel like a very distant second when that day rolls around.
Better late than never?
Being late doesn’t have to be a disaster for Apple. The company has long sought to be best, not necessarily first, after all. Just look at the Apple Watch — other companies had been making similar devices for years by the time it went on sale in 2015, but it’s unquestionably the best smartwatch money can buy right now. When Apple gets it right, being late is inconsequential.
But AI is unusual because things are moving so incredibly quickly. The risk is that Apple ends up launching features that are already outdated by the time they’re announced. Its rivals could get so far ahead that they can’t be caught.
Apple needs to act fast, and that might mean internal changes and serious shakeups. The good news is that if anyone has the resources to do that, it’s Apple. Now the company just needs to throw everything it’s got at overcoming its present and future hurdles. There’s an awful lot at stake.
