Automatic Card Text with Apple Intelligence

Learn how Apple Intelligence drafts card text from a photo and selected mood, and what happens when it is unavailable.

Overview

When you create a card with a photo, Topo can use Apple Intelligence to generate a draft for the card body.

It drafts text from what appears in the photo, tags you add, and the emoji you choose, so you can begin with a short draft instead of an empty text field.

What You Can Do

  • Generate a draft from the photo as a quick starting point for writing a card.
  • Change the tone to match the mood or atmosphere you want to share, even when using the same photo.
  • Add tags to the photo to guide the draft toward details or points you want it to include.
  • Use the draft as-is, or rewrite only the parts you want to make it your own.

How Automatic Text Generation Works

  1. Start creating a card by taking a photo or choosing one from your photo library.
  2. The Apple Intelligence text-generation screen appears with a draft based on the photo.
  3. Choose an emoji for your mood and Apple Intelligence generates a draft in a tone that matches it.
  4. If the draft does not match the photo well, add tags to the photo to adjust what the draft focuses on.
  5. Apply a draft you like and continue editing it as the card body.
  6. If you do not need a draft, skip this step and enter the card body yourself.

Information Used for a Draft

  • Content recognized from the photo with Apple’s standard Vision framework
  • Tags you add yourself
  • The mood you select with an emoji
  • Context available while creating the card, such as place and time

Generated text is a suggestion. You can rewrite it freely after applying it.

Notes

  • This feature is available only in environments that support Apple Intelligence.
  • If you have already entered card text, automatic generation is not intended to overwrite it.
  • Review generated text carefully before saving or publishing it.

When It Is Unavailable or Does Not Meet Your Needs

  • If generation fails, or Apple Intelligence cannot generate text because of safety restrictions, the text field remains empty or an error message appears.
  • If a draft does not describe the photo strongly enough, review the suggested tags and generate again.
  • If you need to say more, refine the text on the card creation screen after applying a draft.
