macOS 27: New Siri Takes on AI Productivity Apps

macOS 27：全新 Siri 挑战 AI 生产力应用

The two most noticeable things about macOS 27 Golden Gate are the newly updated Siri AI and the design changes that make windows and icons more consistent. Siri AI offers the same features and capabilities as on iOS 27, but the Mac gives it access to different context — and new ways to be useful. macOS 27 Golden Gate 最引人注目的两点是全新升级的 Siri AI，以及让窗口和图标更具一致性的设计变更。Siri AI 提供了与 iOS 27 相同的功能和特性，但 Mac 赋予了它访问不同上下文的能力，并带来了更多实用的新方式。

Over the last few years, apps and browsers have tried to learn more about your work and what you want to use AI assistants for, so they can better answer your questions or perform tasks. Today, many top web browsers, excluding Safari, come with a sidebar-based AI assistant that can look at one or multiple open tabs to provide contextual answers. Apps like Highlight, Caddy, and Littlebird can also look at your current window, then use that information as context for your queries. 过去几年里，各类应用和浏览器一直在尝试深入了解你的工作内容以及你对 AI 助手的需求，以便更好地回答问题或执行任务。如今，除了 Safari 之外，许多主流网页浏览器都内置了侧边栏 AI 助手，可以查看一个或多个打开的标签页，从而提供基于上下文的回答。像 Highlight、Caddy 和 Littlebird 这类应用也能查看你当前的窗口，并将这些信息作为查询的上下文。

The new Siri is similar. You can invoke Siri anywhere on your screen, allowing it to answer questions about what it sees, summarize information, or provide you with more details. For instance, if you are looking at an item you want to purchase, you could ask Siri to show you alternative options too. Instead of having Siri look at the whole page, you can also select a part of the page via Apple’s new Visual Intelligence features. If you press Command + Shift + Space, you can add the currently focused window to your context for the AI. To select a specific part, press Command + Shift + 6 to bring up a crosshair selection tool. After this, you can directly ask a question or perform an image search. Based on your selection, you will also get shortcuts like “Select,” “Add to Contact,” and “Look up Location.” 全新的 Siri 也是如此。你可以在屏幕的任何位置调用 Siri，让它回答关于所见内容的问题、总结信息或提供更多细节。例如，如果你正在查看一件想购买的商品，你可以要求 Siri 展示其他替代选项。除了让 Siri 查看整个页面，你还可以通过苹果全新的“视觉智能”（Visual Intelligence）功能选择页面的特定部分。按下 Command + Shift + Space，你可以将当前聚焦的窗口添加到 AI 的上下文中。若要选择特定区域，按下 Command + Shift + 6 即可调出十字准星选择工具。之后，你可以直接提问或进行图像搜索。根据你的选择，你还会获得诸如“选择”、“添加到联系人”和“查找位置”等快捷操作。

Apple has also improved Spotlight Search on Mac. You can directly ask Siri questions within Spotlight to get answers from the web, and now you can also select Applications, Files, Actions, and Clipboard to search within that particular area of context. Plus, Spotlight now allows you to run Shortcuts or look up your recent search history. Since Siri has access to your files, emails, and messages, you can search for a variety of things that you couldn’t before. In tests, I pulled up membership IDs without opening my files, asked for details about an upcoming trip, and looked up the embargo date for an upcoming news story in the works. While I don’t find Spotlight as advanced as the highly extensible Mac productivity tool Raycast, it’s still much better than before. 苹果还改进了 Mac 上的 Spotlight 搜索。你可以在 Spotlight 中直接向 Siri 提问以获取网络答案，现在还可以选择“应用程序”、“文件”、“操作”和“剪贴板”来在特定的上下文区域内进行搜索。此外，Spotlight 现在允许你运行快捷指令或查看最近的搜索历史。由于 Siri 可以访问你的文件、电子邮件和信息，你可以搜索到以前无法触及的各种内容。在测试中，我无需打开文件就能调出会员 ID，询问即将到来的旅行详情，并查阅了一篇正在撰写的新闻报道的禁发日期。虽然我觉得 Spotlight 还没有像高度可扩展的 Mac 生产力工具 Raycast 那样先进，但它确实比以前好多了。

Siri can also now help you with reviewing documents or performing writing tasks. Since the desktop is one of the better surfaces for writing long text, I found it to be more useful here than on the iPhone. You can do things like select a block of text and ask Siri to proofread it, improve it, or rewrite it. You can also ask Siri to draft something for you within any text box. Siri 现在还可以协助你审阅文档或执行写作任务。由于桌面端是撰写长文本的理想平台之一，我发现它在这里比在 iPhone 上更有用。你可以执行诸如选中一段文本并要求 Siri 进行校对、润色或重写等操作。你也可以要求 Siri 在任何文本框内为你起草内容。

Safari, meanwhile, has added AI-powered page tracking, which is useful for keeping an eye on things like price drops, privacy policy changes, or new blog posts on pages when there is no RSS support. Plus, Safari can automatically organize tabs based on topics, which is handy. 与此同时，Safari 增加了 AI 驱动的页面追踪功能，这对于监控价格下跌、隐私政策变更或在没有 RSS 支持的页面上获取新博客文章非常有用。此外，Safari 还能根据主题自动整理标签页，非常方便。

One small but neat new feature is that when you download a file or rename it, the system suggests a name based on context in the Finder or when you’re saving the document. Apart from Siri, macOS 27 Golden Gate brings design changes with new Liquid Glass icons, an adjustable slider for the Liquid Glass design, and a better way to “diffuse” content when you move windows around. The company said that app windows have a more consistent corner radius. Sidebars now stretch edge to edge and have new colorful icons. The new operating system update also better highlights active windows. 一个虽小但很棒的新功能是：当你下载文件或重命名文件时，系统会根据 Finder 中的上下文或保存文档时的信息建议文件名。除了 Siri 之外，macOS 27 Golden Gate 还带来了设计上的变化，包括全新的 Liquid Glass 图标、用于 Liquid Glass 设计的可调滑块，以及在移动窗口时“扩散”内容的更好方式。苹果表示，应用窗口现在具有更一致的圆角半径。侧边栏现在延伸至边缘，并配有全新的彩色图标。此次操作系统更新还更好地突出了活动窗口。

The OS update additionally adds features like enhanced child safety controls, shared cross-platform photo albums, and an updated eraser, better search in email, app resizing for iPhone mirroring, and quick suggestions for adding events to the calendar. 此次系统更新还增加了诸如增强型儿童安全控制、跨平台共享相册、更新后的橡皮擦工具、更好的电子邮件搜索、iPhone 镜像的应用窗口调整大小，以及向日历添加事件的快速建议等功能。
