A simple prompt for your meeting notes
01 · SIRI
What’s new with Siri

Apple started rolling out Siri AI on September 14. Apple says it can use your messages, emails and what’s on your screen to help you write an email or add plans to your calendar.
That could mean less copying and pasting between apps when you need to get something done.
Not everyone has access yet. This is an early version, available in English on supported devices. At launch, it isn’t available in the EU on iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
02 · GEMINI ON WINDOWS
Open Gemini without leaving your work

Gemini now has its own app for Windows 10 and 11. Google launched it on September 10. Once it’s installed, press Alt + Space to open it while you work.
A simple way to try it: paste a paragraph and ask, “Can you make this clearer?”
It can also work with information from Google apps you’ve connected. Some features need a paid Google AI plan.
03 · AIR QUALITY
AI could help predict air pollution

Researchers at the University of Manchester are using NVIDIA’s AI tools to forecast air pollution in the UK.
NVIDIA says the team trained its model in two days on a supercomputer. The researchers can now run it on a desktop AI system. That could make it easier to test how changes to pollution rules might affect the air we breathe.
The work is still at the research stage. The team plans to share its data and methods. One possible future use is to warn people when air quality is likely to be poor.
04 · ONE THING TO TRY
Make sense of your meeting notes
Got meeting notes that need sorting out? Paste in notes that don’t contain private information, then try this:
From these notes, list what we decided, what happens next, who’s doing each task and when it’s due. If a name or date is missing, say “not specified”. Add three questions we still need to answer. Keep it short and don’t guess.
Check the names and deadlines before you share the list.
See you next time,
