Apple Intelligence and AI in general

Hi.

First of all: thanks to the devs for making the best note taking experience I have ever experienced! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

At WWDC apple unveiled the foundation models framework. Is this something you guys will implement? As AI gets better I’m hoping we can use it for more advanced research of our notes.

One of the use cases I hope comes is the ability to have AI plow through my notes and give me insight.

Example: tell AI to read my daily notes from the past month and give me insight into my mental health, special thoughts and things that have happened that I may want to dive deeper into.

AI can do this much faster than if I had to do this manually. Twos has done an amazing implementation of this (although it’s their own thing, and not Apple Intelligence).

What about privacy? The NotebookLM and NotionAI are all tacking this and may be a good option for your use case. I’d be ok with this if I could completely disable AI features from settings.

Yes, we most likely work on something related to Foundation Models to improve search. E.g. if you search ‘cat’ and you a picture of a cat the note will emerge regardless of the presence of the word ‘cat’ in the text or picture.

We are still studying but I’m pretty sure this is something we can’t do. Apple made available their models running that previously were not accessible to third-party developers. This means that if you are not able to have an LLM session with Siri you will most likely not have it with Bear.

All the Foundation Models available so far run on devices as for Photos image categorization and other models Apple used for years.

That stinks that Apple is not opening up the ability for developers to use AI into their own applications. It would be nice to be able to do a ChatGPT–like query into my notes in Bear.

Isn’t that what they’re doing with their 26 release? Unless I misunderstood, they’ve released a new kit that let’s developers tap into Apple Intelligence. Not sure how it will work in practice though.
