 Apple steps up Ai rollout and will start to summarize web content in Safari

Siri is sticking around. Apple stopped short of fully adopting ChatGPT into its software and Siri will ask users for permission each time before accessing ChatGPT.

Apple clarified that the OpenAI partnership is not exclusive - the company will work with Google Gemini in the future.

An important note for web publishers, Apple also announced 'Highlights' - a new Safari feature that offers instant summaries of web pages. Safari 18 also has a module that provides a "distraction-free" way of browsing in a sidebar that shows a summary and table of contents.

If you plan content in sheets or task managers, this is for you.

The one place for you to effortlessly create, plan, review, and approve all your clients’ content. Social media, blogs, newsletters, press releases, briefs – you name it!. All of it, finally together.

And the best part: reviewing and approving has never been this easy. No more wasting time searching for feedback in emails, spreadsheets, or chat messages. With analytics, you can also see the content’s performance in Planable and create beautiful reports for your clients.. Everything’s in the same place, the way it actually makes sense.
