Tuhi, your storage assistant · Apple Intelligence
Why does Storage Studio say Apple Intelligence is getting ready?
Short answer: Apple Intelligence is on, but macOS is still downloading its on-device model. Tuhi uses built-in replies until it's ready, then switches over automatically; keep the Mac online and powered.
Apple Intelligence is turned on, but macOS is still downloading or preparing its on-device model. Until that finishes, Tuhi uses Storage Studio's built-in replies.
There's nothing to do in Storage Studio — keep your Mac connected to the internet and powered so macOS can finish. Once the model is ready, Tuhi switches over to Apple Intelligence on its own; Settings → Interface → Smart suggestions shows the current status.
