Have Apple Intelligence FOMO? Don’t. 3 Work-Arounds To Consider
If you’re like me and don’t have Apple information However, since you own an older Apple device, there’s no need to worry. You can use other applications to recreate some of its original functionality.Released in October 2024, Apple information is a set of generative AI tools built natively into iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and iMac, and accessible through the cloud on these devices. With the release iOS 18.2 Earlier this month, Apple Intelligence Message summaryvarious writing tools and image creation such as Image Playground and Genmon Temple. But you have to use a newer device to access these tools. For example, you need a iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max or iphone 16 (any model) uses Apple Intelligence. As a creator focused on educating business professionals about various artificial intelligence tools, I was initially frustrated that Apple Intelligence needed a hardware upgrade. I then realized that some of its initial functionality could be replicated by learning various other applications. Here are a few ways I do this. sound Meet industry creators, contributors and emerging thought leaders who work with CNET’s award-winning editorial team to bring you unique content from diverse perspectives.

Apple Intelligence integrates an AI writing assistant across all apps and devices, giving you access to features like spell check, tone adjustment, summarization, proofreading, smart replies, and more. With just a few extra clicks, two non-Apple tools can provide similar results.grammar It has been popular with consumers for some time. The app provides spelling and grammar checks, style suggestions, and tone adjustments. Many people don’t realize that Grammarly also has an iOS keyboard extension, so you can use it without leaving your iMessage, Notes, or email apps. Chat GPT is another favorite of artificial intelligence writing assistants. As a standalone iOS app, you can download it for free from the App Store, and iOS 18.2 offers the following options: Integrate ChatGPT with Siri. Now with GPT-4o, ChatGPT is faster, cheaper, and produces higher quality content than its predecessor. You can use ChatGPT to come up with ideas, titles, outlines, or even the entire content you want to create.No matter which AI app you use to provide writing assistance, be sure to review the content before sharing it with others. Human review and intervention are key to this process. Additionally, if you choose to create and publish content entirely using artificial intelligence, you should and indicate the disclaimer.

Artificial intelligence for photos, image generation and custom emojis Apple Intelligence’s AI can analyze the photos in your library and quickly find the photo you’re looking for (i.e. “Katie with a sticker on her face”). The new Image Playground and Genmoji features in iOS 18.2 let you generate custom images, sketches, and emojis without the need for third-party apps. (Please note that due to regulatory restrictions, these features are not supported in China or the EU as of this writing.)google photos and Dropbox It has similar AI capabilities that can automatically tag photos based on objects, locations, faces, and events, allowing users to search for specific images without having to manually categorize them. These features are not without flaws, but generally work well. Google Photos offers many of the same features Apple Intelligence touts, and I’ve been a loyal user for over six years. Google Photos uses facial recognition to automatically identify different people, giving you easy access to all of a person’s photos and videos. If in doubt, Google Photos will sometimes ask you to identify people manually. Screenshot: Wu FeiThere’s also a “Most relevant to your search” feature, which allows you to enter a search term and see results displayed based on relevance rather than date. For example, when I search for a specific element like “red scarf” in Google Photos, here are the results. Screenshot: Wu FeiFirst, Google Photos recommends that you try searching for a phrase or idea, such as:”Colorful Sunset””Tranquil Garden””Cinderella”Or, use the names of friends and family you added under “People,” for example:”Charlie on the Golden Gate Bridge””Alice and Bob at the Beach”Dropbox offers a solid alternative to Google Photos. But it’s worth noting that this AI-powered image search (as a feature) is only available to Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus and Enterprise customers.You can search for any element or feature present in the photo. For example, here are the results returned from my Dropbox account when I searched for “restaurants.” Screenshot: Wu FeiIf you have too many mixed results or file types, you can narrow it down using Dropbox’s built-in filters, filtering by image, video, PDF, document, date taken, or even image size. Screenshot: Wu FeiThe downside to Dropbox photos is that people in these photos aren’t automatically tagged using facial recognition, so you can’t search for photos of specific people as easily as you can in Google Photos.Notification priority Apple Intelligence uses artificial intelligence to analyze your text messages, calendar invitations, notes, and photos to prioritize and summarize notifications to save you time and minimize distractions. So far, consumers Not yet amazed.To simplify notifications, consider first deleting apps on your phone that you no longer need. Then, take advantage of some of the built-in iOS features. I like using Focus Mode, which allows me to create different profiles (Do Not Disturb, Work, Sleep, Personal) to control the notifications I receive based on time of day and context. you can Create a custom focus mode Allow notifications from specific apps or people, or send notifications automatically based on time and location.In most cases, Apple’s built-in notification features (without Apple Intelligence) are useful and sufficient. I recommend checking the settings for each application (go to set up > notify) and decide which notifications need to be turned on. Some apps, such as the Home Safety app, also have the option to open Important alertthe sound notification will sound immediately regardless of the setting.You can start using AI nowGiven that Apple Intelligence is still a new product, it might be wise to postpone a major investment in a new device. Apple Intelligence features will likely improve over time, but until then, you can still start using AI in your daily life without fancy upgrades.Find me on YouTube Discover more AI tools that can help you in your daily online life.The opinions expressed by CNET Voices contributors are their own.
