Last week, I started building this mini app called DayCue. I wanted to see how far I could go in a week by leveraging Apple's built-in, on-device LLM through the Foundation Models framework and Apple Intelligence. The idea is pretty simple: DayCue looks at your tasks, calendar events, and alarms, then helps sort them into priorities and gives you a few suggestions on what to focus on. One thing I specifically wanted to experiment with was not building another chatbot. I designed the model instructions to focus on: Sorting tasks Identifying priorities Making simple suggestions rather than maintaining a conversational context. The app is built with: 🧠 Foundation Models 📱 SwiftUI 💾 SwiftData 🎙️ Siri Shortcuts & App Intents 📊 Widgets 🍎 Apple's modern iOS APIs And the first version came together in about one week. It started as a small experiment to see what I could build with Apple's newer on-device AI capabilities, and it turned into a working mini app. I'm still tweaking it and figuring out where to take it next. For those who have been experimenting with Foundation Models, what are you building with it? I'm particularly interested in seeing ideas that use AI for something practical without turning the app into a conversational assistant.
