🤖 Can AI Sell More iPhones?

Plus: Replit's New Dev Agent and Anthropic Targets Business

September 12, 2024

Hello AI Enthusiast,

Apple is gearing up to roll out its new AI features, starting in the US next month. Meanwhile, Replit is taking automated software development to the next level with its new Agent. Lastly, Anthropic has announced an enterprise plan for Claude, following businesses’ needs.

Before we get to the news, a quick reminder about our Bootcamp. We teach how to make AI that people actually like using. It's not just about speed, but about using AI for the things users prefer not to do, instead of automating the whole process. Our next class starts on Monday, and tomorrow is the last day to sign up. Join us and learn to mix AI with human skills in the best way.

The Big Picture 🔊

Apple Rolls Out Apple Intelligence in October

Apple is rolling out new Apple Intelligence features for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS next month, with English support in the U.S. and other countries by December. These features include enhanced writing tools, advanced photo editing, improved Siri functionality, and audio transcription all designed for on-device processing to ensure privacy. Additional languages and more features will be introduced next year.

Apple seems to be catching up in the AI features race, especially since these AI capabilities aren't new to smartphones.

This isn't unusual for Apple, they typically prioritize doing things right over being first, but this time they're struggling to keep pace with competitors.

If you have an iPhone, are you considering an upgrade for the new AI features?

Replit AI Agent Automates Full Dev Cycle

Replit has unveiled Replit agent that autonomously handles the entire software development lifecycle, from coding to deployment, enhancing developer productivity and creativity. Currently in beta, it's available to Replit Core and Teams subscribers.

Replit Agent isn't the first tool that says it can handle software development. Devin is trying to do this too.

But Replit might have an edge because they started in 2016 and have lots of data from their users. Millions of people have used Replit to write, test, and put out code. All this data helps make Replit Agent better.

Anthropic Unveils its Enterprise Plan

The new Claude Enterprise plan offers a 500K context window, increased usage capacity, and integrates with GitHub for seamless coding collaboration. It includes high-level security features like SSO and role-based permissions, ensuring data protection.

The Enterprise Plan offers three main features but what’s really important for companies is the security part. Anthropic has been able to show good examples of how companies can use Claude.

They're not the first to offer this kind of service, but we think they understand what companies need better than others.
