User level: Level 1 (14 points)I want to try Apple Intelligence. I have a Mac Mini M6 running 27.0.1 MacOS. My System menu has an entry for Siri but not for Siri and Apple Intelligence as I expected.
This missing 'Apple Intelligence' entry is repeated on my iPhone. It's a 17 Pro Max running 27.2. What am I missing?

Apple Intelligence is not available in all regions / languages.
Get started with Apple Intelligence on your Mac - Apple Support

Thanks for the answer. I may be unclear on the concept here so please stick with me a bit.
I wrote a paragraph in Libre Office Writer. Highlighted it and then r-clicked on it. I expected Apple Intelligence to appear but nothing happened. I copied/pasted into Pages - the same thing.
Am I expecting something incorrectly? How do I invoke Apple Intelligence? TIA

Apple Intelligence is on. It's not optional any more.
Siri AI is in beta and is optional. They are not the same thing.
