Hello and welcome to another episode of App Stories.

Today's episode is brought to you by Claude from Anthropic.

I'm John Vorez, and with me is Federico Vitechi.

Hey, Federico.

Hello, John. How are you?

I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right.

We're sitting here on the cusp of things coming out.

By the time this episode comes out, Apple will have probably released a bunch of things, but that's not the topic for today.

The topic for today is imagining an AI-driven Apple.

and AI, we are kind of all fixated on Apple Intelligence and when smarter Siri is coming.

And I'm starting to get the feeling like, well, this Siri thing has taken so long that

by the time Siri finally gets out the door, whether it works or not, it's going to feel behind.

It's going to feel like Apple's behind still because the world will have passed it by in terms of AI.

And I wanted to talk to you a little bit today about what are the kind of things that we think Apple could do in a very aptly way with artificial intelligence that we would like to see them do.

So there's the tension between what we would like to see them do versus what they're most likely

going to do.

Yeah, there is.

And I think, you know, I think it's probably worth starting out by just saying that I think that you and I both come at it from a perspective of automation and productivity more so than any kind of replacement for creativity or art or anything like that.

I mean, we should say we should say that up front that the two of us, we don't use AI.

I don't think either of us is really big on image generation or video generation,
