What the briefing reports

Apple has released the watchOS 27 beta, which includes new AI-powered features such as Siri Recap and Live Rewind. These features, first revealed at the company's event in September, allow users to generate a title and key points for conversations and convert the last 15 seconds of conversation to text.

According to the beta release, Siri Recap and Live Rewind are available on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 devices. The Audio Intelligence features process audio in isolation from the rest of the device and do not record or store audio.

The S11 chip is responsible for processing the audio, ensuring that it remains private and secure. The new features aim to assist users in remembering important conversations and taking notes, with Siri Recaps summarizing conversations with a short sentence and bullet points, and Live Rewind allowing users to go back in time to see what someone just said.
