Visual Intelligence is being promoted more thanks to iOS 27's changes, but it's also available for Mac users in macOS 27 Golden Gate. Here's what it is, and how it varies between the platforms.

In the 27-generation of Apple's ecosystem, Visual Intelligence is everywhere. Apple's WWDC keynote in June included a considerable amount of AI-related changes. The main change involved Siri AI, Apple's major upgrade to its digital assistant. However, a second important element was also getting some much-needed changes. That would be Visual Intelligence.

Previously only available on iPhone, Visual Intelligence has been spruced up on that platform and brought to more. Users of macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS can also benefit from the image-based AI toolset. This is everything you need to know about Visual Intelligence in the upcoming 27-generation operating systems.

Visual Intelligence is part of a group of AI technologies that Apple has branded as Apple Intelligence. As the name implies, Visual Intelligence is all about using imagery to perform queries. While you may ask Siri a prompt in speech or text forms, Visual Intelligence also incorporates photographs, screenshots, and other images.
