They just announced an AI integration across the entire OS for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. Basically they’ll log all your activity and feed it to multiple AI models to let you ask for what you want, as they describe it. It mostly looks like Timeline but with AI search and assistant features bolted on to it.
They did a good job of not making it sound as creepy as Recall… but it kinda is.
Gotcha, made a couple posts about their announcements.
Techies - AI skeptics - seem widely impressed (per ArsTechnica and Hacker News and Mastodon posters). Since your description is at odds with my understanding, I will review some more details. Thanks.
Yeah, I’ve been talking for a few days about how bizarre it is to see the difference in reception to what is conceptually a couple of very similar features. It’s nuts how good Apple are at selling this sort of stuff almost with zero correlation to what it is that they’re selling.
Which is, I suppose, why nobody will ever bring up having said that the Vision Pro was an iPhone 1.0 moment. They know who they are.
Or maybe I’m giving them too much credit and they aren’t that good. Admittedly MS did an amazing job at making this Recall thing seem as unappealing as possible at every step, so… maybe the bar was just that low.
Makes me think of Rewind.ai but you’re referring to how Siri can use context from your screen when you ask it? A feature distant from Recall/Rewind.
Might be missing something.

Interesting. Gonna find the source of “they’ll log all your activity and feed it to multiple AI models”
