Apple today announced new Apple Intelligence features for the Home app, including AI-generated descriptions of HomeKit Secure Video camera clips and smarter grouping of accessory notifications.
The Home app will use ‌Apple Intelligence‌ to analyze clips recorded from compatible cameras and generate text descriptions summarizing what happened there. Users can browse footage to find specific events, such as a package delivery, without needing to watch each clip individually.
The app will also display notable clips at the top of the search page, so users can quickly identify important moments. When playing a clip, the Home app can bring together footage from multiple cameras to provide a more complete picture of an event.
‌Apple Intelligence‌ will also make accessory notifications smarter. Rather than receiving a separate alert for each triggered accessory, the Home app will understand related notifications as a single ongoing activity and send a notification that continues to update as the activity occurs.
