How to get Apple Intelligence

Question

Based on the Mac User Guide specifications published in November 2025, identify the specific macOS version described as having a 'fresh new design' and the ability to make phone calls directly from the desktop. For this operating system, provide a comprehensive list of all features powered by 'Apple Intelligence,' strictly excluding any features marked as exclusive to iOS, iPadOS, or iPhone. Additionally, list the supported languages for 'Live Translation in Messages' and highlight which of those languages are NOT supported for 'Live Translation in Phone and FaceTime'.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Identifies the target OS as 'macOS Tahoe' (or macOS Tahoe 26) based on the description.
Identifies 'Apple Intelligence' as the underlying system powering the features.

Width checklist

Includes Mac-supported AI features: Clean Up in Photos, Genmoji, Image Playground, Writing Tools, Siri enhancements, ChatGPT integration, Intelligent actions in Shortcuts, Smart Reply, Summaries (Mail/Messages/Notification/Voicemail/Notes), Memory movie, Natural language search in Photos, Suggested reminders, Auto-categorize in Reminders, Reduce Interruptions Focus, Intelligent Breakthrough, Priority messages, Intelligent Poll Suggestions, Create a background in Messages.
Correctly excludes iOS/iPadOS exclusives: Image Wand, Live Translation with AirPods, Enhanced order tracking, Workout Buddy, Visual intelligence.
Lists supported languages for Live Translation in Messages: English (US, UK), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese (simplified/traditional), Turkish, Vietnamese.
Identifies languages supported in Messages but NOT in Phone/FaceTime: Dutch, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

Examiner rationale

The query requires **Deep Reasoning** to identify 'macOS Tahoe' from the descriptive cues ('fresh new design', 'Nov 2025 context') without the name being provided in the prompt. It requires **Wide Aggregation** to parse the long list of Apple Intelligence features, apply a negative filter (exclude iOS-only items), and perform a specific comparison of language support lists across two different translation sub-features found at the end of the text.

Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

Both agents failed the critical 'Deep Logic' check by failing to identify the correct operating system specified in the Ground Truth ('macOS Tahoe'). Agent A identified the existing 'macOS Sequoia', while Agent B hallucinated a non-existent version 'macOS Redwood'. Furthermore, neither agent correctly retrieved the specific language exclusions for Live Translation required by the checklist (Agent A found no data, while Agent B hallucinated a list that contradicted the Ground Truth). Since both failed to find the core entity, it is a Low Quality Tie.

Based on specifications for the operating system that introduced a "fresh new design" and the ability to make phone calls directly from the desktop, the version described is macOS Sequoia [1]. This operating system integrates "Apple Intelligence" to power a host of features available on the Mac. These include system-wide Writing Tools that can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text in apps like Mail, Notes, and Pages. Image Playground allows users to create images in Animation, Illustration, and Sketch styles, accessible both in a dedicated app and within other applications. Another creative feature is Genmoji, enabling the creation of original emoji characters by typing a description [2, 3]. Siri receives a major upgrade on macOS, with on-screen awareness that allows it to understand and take action on content visible on the user's screen. For example, a user can ask Siri to summarize a document they are viewing. In the Photos app, Apple Intelligence powers a new feature where users can create a Memory Movie simply by typing a descriptive prompt [3]. The new Live Translation feature supports text translation in Messages across several languages. The supported languages are: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin - Mainland), Chinese (Mandarin - Taiwan), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, U.S.), Finnish, French (Belgium, Canada, France), German (Austria, Germany, Switzerland), Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish (Mexico, Spain, U.S.), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian [4]. At this time, public documentation has not specified which of these languages are unsupported for Live Translation in the Phone and FaceTime apps [2, 3]. *** ## References 1. Apple.
