Use Apple Intelligence with Siri on Mac
Siri is the intelligent assistant that’s built into your Mac to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. With the capabilities of Apple Intelligence,* Siri is more natural, more contextually relevant, and more personal to you. In addition to using your voice, you can type requests to Siri. You can also tap into Siri’s product knowledge to get answers to questions about your Mac and other Apple products.
Siri also follows along if you stumble over your words while making a request. For example, you might say, “Siri, set an alarm—wait no, sorry, I meant a timer for 10 minutes—actually, let’s make that 15.” Siri understands what you meant and starts a timer for 15 minutes.
When Siri is activated, the Siri search field appears and remains until you close it, so you can continue what you’re doing while you talk to Siri.
Note: Apple Intelligence is available in macOS 15.1 on Mac models with M1 or later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English. To get started, see Get started with Apple Intelligence.
Type to Siri
When you don’t want to speak out loud, you can type to Siri—for example, when you’re in a quiet place like a meeting or a library.
To type to Siri, activate Siri, click the Siri field, then type your request.
Tip: To quickly type a Siri request, press the Command key 
twice.
If Apple Intelligence is turned off or unavailable in your language or region, you can still type to Siri by changing accessibility settings. See Change Siri settings for accessibility.
Ask Siri questions about your Apple products
You can tap into Siri’s product knowledge to get answers to questions about your Mac—as well as other Apple products like iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, AirPods, and Apple TV. Activate Siri, then say something like:
“How do I download an app on Mac?”
“Where do I name a group text on Mac?”
“How do I import photos on Mac?”
“How do I make the text on my Mac bigger?”
“Tell me how to connect my AirPods to my iPhone.”
“How do I play sound from my TV through HomePod?”
“How do I make my own Memoji?”
“What is iCloud?”
Make requests to Siri that maintain context
With Apple Intelligence, you can make requests to Siri that build on your previous requests, maintaining the context of what you just said.
For example, you can say something like “How are the San Francisco Giants doing this season?” Then ask, “When are they playing next?” And finally: “Add that to my calendar.”
Activate Siri, then make a request.
Immediately after you make the request, make another one.
