Apple has just released its latest visionOS 2.4 update and with it comes some AI super powers, compliments of Apple Intelligence.

The latest update for the Apple Vision Pro headset can now be installed to take advantage of the very first set of Apple Intelligence tools to reach the augmented reality headset.

Apple says the new AI smarts will mean people can be helped to “communicate, write and express themselves.”

This should also help people find new content and apps more easily while also enhancing privacy in AI. And it lands alongside the new Spatial Gallery app for curated collections of art, culture, nature, sports and more.

What does Apple Intelligence do in visionOS 2.4?

The main addition that Apple Intelligence brings to the Vision Pro is a new writing tool. This break down into Rewrite, Proofread and Summarize.

Rewrite allows you to take a chunk of text and have the AI adjust tone – perhaps making it more chatty, professional or concise. You can also describe a specific change and have the AI go and make that happen for you.

Proofread does as you’d expect by checking grammar, sentence structure, word choices and – of course – suggesting edits.

Summarize will let you select a body of text and then have that “recapped” in various formats.

There is also a fourth tool, called Compose, which uses ChatGPT to let you generate content from the systemwide Writing Tools.

System wide language is helpful but you also have area specific options like Smart Reply. This allows you to reply in Messages or Mail with quick responses. Plus you can search your Photos using natural language to find what you want.

Image Playground also arrives on Vision Pro, allowing you to generate images from scratch using descriptions or photos of people you know, to save and share as you need. You can also create Genmoji with the AI to have even more fun ways to interact, using images to express yourself.

Apple points out that, at time of publishing, this is only available to those people with their Siri language set to U.S. English.

Avec’s new AI feature makes sure you never miss a deadline again
One swipe is all it takes for Avec to remember your email deadlines now
avec-email-app-never-forget-anything-feature

We have all been there. A deadline gets buried somewhere in a long email thread, life gets busy, and suddenly you are apologizing for a missed follow-up you completely forgot about. Avec, the AI powered email app built around swipe gestures and voice dictation, just rolled out a fix for this problem, and it might be the app's smartest addition yet.

My Mac never tells me where my internet goes, so I found an app that does
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using a Mac for a long time, and over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out what’s going wrong when something feels off. Most of the time, I start in the Settings app. I poke around, change a few things, and usually find whatever is causing the problem. Storage is a good example. I recently noticed my Mac slowing down, opened the Storage section, and immediately got a clear breakdown of what was taking up space. One cleanup later, I had freed up some much-needed storage, and everything felt normal again. I’ve done something similar when trying to figure out battery drain or unusually high CPU usage. macOS gives you plenty of places to look when you know something isn’t quite right.

There’s one thing it doesn’t make nearly as obvious, though: where all your internet data is actually going. I only started thinking about this because my internet had been acting strangely for the past few days. Things felt slower than usual, and I couldn’t figure out why. My connection seemed fine, and I wasn’t downloading anything massive, so what was eating up all that bandwidth? Turns out, quite a few apps on my Mac were using the internet in the background, and I had no idea. I probably wouldn’t have figured that out either if I hadn’t come across a Mac app that showed me exactly what was happening behind the scenes. And that’s where things got interesting.

Researchers expose a worryingly simple trick to make AI bots go rogue and skip safety
average-users-break-past-ai-safety-gemini-chatgpt

If you ask an AI agent to hack an account, it will most certainly refuse, but researchers at EPFL just proved there is an easier way in, and it involves patience rather than technical skill. Their new study shows that breaking a harmful goal into small, harmless-sounding requests can trick AI agents into completing tasks they would normally reject outright (via TechXplore).

It echoes the recent 'Bioshocking' exploit in which AI browsers were manipulated into treating credential theft as part of a harmless game.
