Safari introduces feature extension creation via Apple Intelligence, allowing customization through verbal instructions

This article is a translation. Read the Japanese original

Apple has released new operating systems, including iOS 27 and macOS 27. As part of the AI capabilities of Apple Intelligence, a feature has been added to the Safari web browser that allows users to create new extensions simply by providing verbal descriptions.

By using this feature, users can customize the appearance and usability of websites to their liking. For example, tasks such as changing Wikipedia link colors from blue to green or adding scroll buttons to jump to the top and bottom of a page can be executed in a short time through instructions to the AI. Other extensions, such as those for bulk-copying webpage titles and URLs or changing background colors, can also be created from verbal descriptions.

Meanwhile, the image generation app "Image Playground" has also been updated. While image generation via prompts is possible in iOS 27, challenges remain regarding image quality and accuracy, such as errors in text spelling.

Please note that the availability of Apple Intelligence features may vary depending on the device, language, and region. Siri AI is available in beta on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27, and requires an Apple Intelligence-compatible device to be set to a supported language.
