Apple Visual Intelligence – With Camera Lens For Local, Shopping & More

Must read

Apple had its big event yesterday, and during the iPhone talk, they announced Apple Visual Intelligence. Where you can take photos of anything, and it will use Apple Intelligence for local search, shopping, homework help, and more.

Apple is using Google, ChatGPT and I think maybe Yelp for these integrations. And yes, this looks a lot like Google Lens…

This part of the talk starts at around the 57 minute mark but let me share screenshots of this.

Here is a man taking a photo of a restaurants entrance to learn more about the restaurant – I think on Yelp?

So Apple is implementing AI as tools, essentially as integrated apps.

Thoughts?
