About OpenIntelligence

This one's about getting things in and out of the app. JSON and JSONL files import as records, Siri and Shortcuts can ask, search and add to your libraries, Spotlight and Visual Intelligence find your documents, and an answer you share takes its sources with it. YOUR DOCUMENTS • JSON and JSONL files import as records, with their field names and numbers kept as they are. • Big imports keep going. Very large text and JSONL files import a piece at a time, a PDF of any size imports (over 500 MB used to be turned away), and an interrupted import picks up where it was, even after an app update, without redoing the pages and embeddings it had. The queue has a Pause button, and if iOS stops an import in the background the banner says Paused. • Share a web page or text to OpenIntelligence from any app, send it files with "Open in", drop in a whole folder, or tap Paste on the Documents screen for a copied file, address or text. • Scan into Library on the Lock Screen or the Action button takes a page without unlocking. • Numbers in tables are kept, pages in Greek, Chinese, Arabic and other scripts keep their text, and non-UTF-8 text files come in readable. • Addresses, phone numbers, dates and amounts are found anywhere in a document, not only in its tables. • An import stops and says so if the search model comes back empty, and a document missing from search is rebuilt. LARGE LIBRARIES • A very large library doesn't hold the app up: it's read once at launch, not twice, the app answers taps right after you open it, and starting an import doesn't freeze it. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND SPOTLIGHT • Actions hand back what they found, so the next step of a shortcut can use the answer and its sources. "Ask My Documents" and "Ask a Library" have a Mode menu. • New actions: Find Passages, Check a Claim, Add to Library, Create Library, Set Answer Mode, Open Library and Open Document. • If a question from Siri needs Private Cloud Compute and you haven't decided yet, the app comes up and asks first. • Spotlight keeps your documents until you delete them, and tapping one opens it. Visual Intelligence lists the documents that mention what the camera sees. • Touch and hold the app icon for Ask, Add Document and Scan Document, add the widgets to the Home Screen or the Lock Screen, and long answers show progress there, with a Stop button. SHARING • A shared answer takes its sources with it, Image makes a card of it, and Export Conversation saves a conversation as Markdown, JSON Lines or PDF. • Copy Link on a document or a library opens it in the app on your other devices. ANSWERS • Every label in an answer, like [S5], opens the passage it came from, and tapping a point in an answer opens the PDF on that page with the passage highlighted. • If a question didn't get its answer because the app was closed, there's an Ask again button. Searches no longer pick up stray letters. • The chat is plainer to look at. Technical Details, under ⋯ or in Settings, brings back the stats and every step. • Ask out loud: the chat field has a microphone, and dictation runs on your device. • Sentences from your documents aren't cut in half, numbers are checked as numbers, and a code like E1 counts as a keyword. • Deep Think and Maximum answers get the same checks a Standard answer does, and Deep Think keeps its full answer instead of one short line that can be wrong. ALSO • Every screen has the same look now: spacing, corners and colors match. • Handoff, and conversations in an iCloud library sync with it. • A notification when an import or a long answer is done, if you turn it on, and on iOS 27 and macOS 27 an offer to email me a crash report, sent only if you say so. • Easier to read: darker gray text, clearer colored labels and a deeper blue in light mode. VoiceOver names every switch and slider. Everything still runs on your device, unless you okay Apple's Private Cloud Compute.
