Due to the context constraints of Apple Intelligence there is a limit of about 10,000 character or 2,000 words. The app uses various strategies to increase the effective word limit such as deduplication. Cross-Device Sync: Keep your ideas accessible across all your Apple devices. Your ideas are synced seamlessly, allowing you to work on them from anywhere and at any time.
