TL;DR
- Siri AI is in early preview on the macOS 27 developer beta.
- Its limitations are more obvious on a Mac than on an iPhone.
- Siri AI can launch apps but cannot perform actions within them.
- Shortcuts created by Apple Intelligence struggled to run benchmark tests.
- Siri AI can analyze data from screenshots, averaging scores, but sometimes gets confused by mixed test types or visual data.
- It has difficulty accessing data from non-Apple applications like Signal, Google Photos, and Lightroom Classic.
- Visual Intelligence can evaluate on-screen data but is limited by what is visible and can misinterpret results.
- Siri AI can offer photo editing suggestions but sometimes provides overly positive or incorrect feedback.
- The AI's usefulness is heavily dependent on whether data resides within Apple's ecosystem.
- This iteration is considered the most helpful Siri has been, marking initial AI steps for the Mac.
