Part Apple Intelligence Suite with AI FeaturesVisual intelligence allows you to point your camera at something and use AI to analyze it in real time. It does something on its own, but from the ongoing screen shortcuts to chatgpt or Google Image Search.
So, suppose you find a set of towels with unique patterns in your closet. You really like those dang towels and want to buy more, but you don’t remember where you bought them from. Activate Visual Intelligence, select Google Search Shortcuts to see if your beloved rag belongs to the pop-up network results. Also, you can use Chatgpt to ask it about the product and where to order it.
