Support for Content Exclusion Files in Apple Intelligence

I am writing to inquire about content exclusion capabilities within Apple Intelligence, particularly regarding the use of configuration files such as .aiignore or .aiexclude—similar to what exists in other AI-assisted coding tools. These mechanisms are highly valuable in managing what content AI systems can access, especially in environments that involve sensitive code or proprietary frameworks.

I would appreciate it if anyone could clarify whether Apple Intelligence currently supports any exclusion configuration for AI-assisted features. If so, could you kindly provide documentation or guidance on how developers can implement these controls? If not, Is there any plan to include such feature in future updates?

Hi @Soumen1990, can you clarify which specific framework this is in regards to?

If you're asking about Foundation Models Framework, this on-device model only has access to data provided by your app, for example in the prompt or via your tool calling implementation. It is also worth noting that Foundation Models is not intended or recommended for code generation. (See suitability recommendations here)

Let me know if you have any additional clarifying information so that we can assist.

Best,

-J
