The WWDC keynote may be over, but we still have lots of questions about the state and future of Apple Intelligence. And in a somewhat unusual move, Apple is here to answer some of them: Craig Federighi and John Giannandrea, two of the executives in charge of all of Apple’s AI efforts, are taking the stage in the Steve Jobs Theater to talk about everything Apple announced on Monday.

Federighi, of course, is Apple’s software chief, overseeing nearly all the platforms and features we saw at WWDC. Giannandrea is Apple’s SVP of machine learning and AI strategy and has been an important figure in the AI world for a long time. (Before coming to Apple, he was an engineering VP at Google, overseeing a lot of the same stuff.) Together, they’ve overseen Apple’s work revamping Siri, partnering with OpenAI, bringing machine learning to devices and the cloud, and practically everything else Apple announced.

We’re live in the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park and will be live-blogging the event as it happens. Rest assured: there will be Siri questions.
