I test AI for a living and these are 11 AI-powered apps I use on my Mac

By Ryan Morrison

Apple finally seems to be over its fear of using the letters AI in its marketing, branding the new M3 MacBook Air the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI.”

Despite the absence of AI in its branding, Macs have been very AI friendly for the past few years — at least since the launch of the M1chip.

While Intel might have triggered a craze of “AI laptops” from companies using its Core Ultra chip, Apple Silicon MacBook’s have had a neural engine onboard since 2020.

What this means is that while developers scrabble to create apps and features that utilize Intel’s NPU, there are already a host of impressive, fast and useful Mac apps with AI onboard ready to install.
