Summary
Apple released the fourth developer beta of macOS Golden Gate, arriving two weeks after beta 3 and available through Software Update for users with beta updates enabled and a free developer account.
Siri AI is the headline addition, turning Siri into a chatbot-style assistant in Spotlight with Search or Ask, a dedicated app for past conversations, and custom voices on newer Macs.
Visual Intelligence extends that push by letting Siri answer questions about on-screen content, while Write with Siri can generate text or critique writing.
Photos gains AI editing tools, Safari adds AI tab organization, Passwords can automatically upgrade weak passwords, and Image Playground has been revamped to create photorealistic images.
Apple also refined the interface with clearer Liquid Glass opacity, a transparency slider, stronger active-window shadowing, more uniform toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, and fewer menu bar icons.
