Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Discover how neural networks work, how they evolved over time, and how Apple has integrated these technologies across its platforms to deliver a seamless user experience.
Coding Assistant
Learn how to use a coding assistant with local and external models to get the support you need while developing your applications. Take advantage of the most advanced models available to answer questions, write and refine code, fix bugs, and accelerate your workflow as you take your applications to the next level.
Implement Foundation Models
Implement a local large language model that runs entirely on device to deliver a secure and private experience for your users. Learn how to build systems that summarize text, interact with users, and tag or analyze content. Use tools and adapters to customize the model and transform it into a solution tailored to the needs of your application.
Process Natural Language
Learn how to implement Writing Tools in your applications and process text effectively by recognizing language and working with word embeddings. Use natural language models to compare terms, improve search accuracy, and extract meaningful insights from text.
Transcribe and Translate Spoken Words
Learn how to transcribe audio files and live audio streams, and translate written text and spoken language. Access the microphone to automatically translate what users say in real time to any of the languages supported by the system.
Train a Neural Network from Scratch
Learn how forward propagation and backpropagation work to train your own neural networks from the ground up. Build confidence as you dive into derivatives, matrices, gradient descent, and the core concepts behind the development and training of modern neural networks.
Access GPT Models from OpenAI
Learn how to securely access GPT models from your applications using Cloudflare servers. Integrate ChatGPT-level intelligence into your apps with OpenAI models, and learn how to configure them to deliver accurate, relevant responses tailored to your users’ needs.
Everything you need!
Learn how to harness the power of Apple Intelligence to build truly intelligent applications for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This book is a practical, in-depth guide for developers who want to move beyond experimentation and integrate artificial intelligence into real production apps with confidence.

After reading this book, you will know how to work with Apple Intelligence and Siri, integrate on-device models for fast and private intelligence, and connect to powerful external model providers such as OpenAI to bring ChatGPT-level capabilities into your applications.

Artificial intelligence is already transforming how software is built and how users interact with technology. Developers who understand how to apply it effectively gain a decisive advantage. This book teaches you how to use artificial intelligence not as a gimmick, but as a practical tool to enhance functionality, automate complex workflows, and deliver intelligent experiences to your users.

With this book, you will learn:
How artificial neural networks work
How Apple Intelligence works
How to implement Apple's on device models to take your applications to the next level
How to access OpenAI models to incorporate ChatGPT level intelligence into your apps.
How to train your own models
How to build a neural network from scratch
How to train a neural network with the MLX framework
What our readers are saying
The missing manual
"This book is outstanding for those new to Swift or SwiftUI. It explains things with just enough detail to get the idea across effectively without going down a rabbit hole. I have several Swift books, and this is the best I've found so far. Somehow, the book seems to know what my questions are as I delve into a topic and supply the answers for me as I'm learning. It could be called the "Missing Manual" for Swift. I highly recommend it."
Straddles the sweet spot between tutorial and reference.
"The book is well written and takes you from novice to high intermediate. The book starts with the most basic swift concepts covering the language from playground exercises and through to the UI interface techniques. What I love most is that it flags what sections are novice, intermediate and advanced."
Great reference for not-so-beginners
"I used this book for the first time today, trying to figure out how to make something draggable. I was very happy with what I found on pages 466-470: basically an example of how to move and snap back, followed by a better example of how to move and snap back, followed by an example of how to move and and stay put at the new location (with explanations in between, of course)."
Comprehensive coverage of Swift syntax and SwiftUI architecture.
"This book drills down deeply into the subject matter and broadly covers language syntax and application architecture. Hundreds of working examples, both simple and elaborate, accompany the crystal-clear text. And, due to the author's meticulous attention to detail, all the examples compile and execute! He goes well beyond basic SwiftUI technology to explain supporting or supplementary software; all part of the development ecosystem. During my 40 years reading dozens of books on software development, I rarely if ever came across a book as good as SwiftUI for Masterminds."
Fantastic book! I find everything I look for, easily.
"I'm taking the Stanford iPhone programming class for 2020, using SwiftUI. I find this book is _perfect_ as a reference for the class. I've run through the book's examples in xcode and then applied them to the Stanford assignments. The farther I get in the book the more I'm impressed by the details, examples, and explanations."
Excellent Resource for Anyone Wanting to Program Using Swift
"I don’t normally spend the time to write Amazon reviews but I have been extremely impressed with this book. I bought it after I had already purchased another SwiftUI book that I found to be worthless. While the first section of this book covers the Swift language and Xcode, the information was very well written and at a level of detail that most professional programmer would want. This book is very readable and will be used by me as go to resource long after I have finished reading."
Goto SwiftUI Reference book
"The book is detailed and well organized with a table of contents that makes It very easy to find exactly what you need to know which allows you to use it as a reference book. The author covers everything you need to know for creating SwiftUI apps. The quality of the pages, print, cover and binding is good. It is a fantastic value as are the authors other books."
