Orbit turns a passing thought into a plan you can review. Say "coffee with Maya", "a day out this weekend" or "dinner nearby", and Orbit proposes stops, a route and the evidence behind them. Nothing is saved, sent or booked until you choose. PLAN - Ask in your own words, or start from a plan type: Day out, Find food, Meet someone. - See the plan as its own page with stops and a walking, driving or transit route. On a wider window the conversation and the plan sit side by side. - Orbit plans in one pass with the tools you allow for each plan: your saved places, Apple Maps search, routes and Apple Weather. You see each step as it works. - Reorder, swap or remove stops, and switch between walking, driving and transit. - Weather requests show Apple Weather conditions with attribution. - Rate an answer with a thumbs up or down, and report one that went wrong. You see the whole report, and nothing is sent until you send it. YOUR CALL - Every suggestion arrives as a review card that says where it came from and how far away it is. - Saving to History is the only thing a review card does. Opening Maps, drafting a message or adding a calendar event are separate steps you start. SAVED PLACES - Keep the places you want to go back to, with notes, cuisine and tags. - See which places you have not visited in a while. - More like this: find similar saved places, with the reason for each match. - Ask about a saved place, or pick a suggested question, and get an answer drawn only from what you saved. HISTORY - Receipts of what you approved, and nothing more. ON YOUR IPHONE - The assistant runs on device with Apple Intelligence. When it is unavailable, Orbit still plans from built-in rules, your places and Apple Maps. - Your saved places stay on your iPhone. - Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight, a Home Screen widget and a Control Center control start a plan quickly.
