Apple's rolling out its Apple Intelligence features with the iPhone 16 lineup, promising a smarter, more capable smartphone experience.

What's going on here?
Apple will start the rollout of Apple Intelligence next month.

What does this mean?
AI-based Writing Tools are baked in everywhere. They’ll help you refine text across apps with rewriting and summarizing. All your emails and notifications will automatically summarise the most helpful information.

The Photos app gains AI-powered movie creation and a "Clean Up" tool for removing distractions. In the coming months, you will also be able to search across your photos and videos in natural language.

Siri gets a makeover with a glowing light design and improved language understanding. It also integrates deeper with Google and ChatGPT. A new visual intelligence feature allows you to use your camera to search info on your surroundings.

Why should you care?
If you've got an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, you're about to get a big AI upgrade. Think smarter photo editing, more useful Siri, and AI-powered productivity tools right in your pocket. Plus, with Apple's privacy-first approach, you get cutting-edge AI without compromising your data. It's Apple's answer to the AI arms race, and it's coming to your iPhone soon.

More info:

Apple Intelligence will start rolling out next month with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, with additional features coming soon.

Tutorial: Learn how to use AI for B2B contract analysis

Going through dozens of contracts and reviewing each for certain conditions seems like a task only humans could do. You’d be wrong, though. Using AI, you can reduce the time spent on reviews and focus on going deeper in your analysis.

Let’s try to use Claude to analyse some B2B contracts and create assessment reports for them.

Step 1. Preparing for AI-assisted contract analysis

You'll need your company's contract policies and the B2B contracts you want to review. We’ll feed your specific policies into Claude alongside the contracts and go about

- identifying risks
- generating modification suggestions
- creating assessment reports

Step 2.
Then;

- Upload an individual contract file (in text or PDF) and ask Claude to extract all the relevant data from that contract based on your policies.

- Similarly, ask Claude to create “Artifacts” for each goal we specified. I recommend using separate messages for each one (detailed prompts inside our full tutorial)

- You can repeat this for each contract you’ve received for a project.

Tip: If this is a regular part of your job, you might want to create a “Claude Project” with your policies and goals.

This walkthrough is a condensed version of this tutorial: https://bensbites.com/tutorial/how-to-use-ai-for-b2b-contract-analysis?utm_source=bensbites&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=bb-digest-1b-for-safe-super-ai

Check it out for one-click copyable prompts and more detailed steps.

Enhance your risk assessment process by automating B2B contract reviews and suggestions.
