Apple today announced new Apple Intelligence features for the Home app, including AI-generated descriptions of HomeKit Secure Video camera clips and smarter grouping of accessory notifications.
The Home app will use Apple Intelligence to analyze recorded clips from compatible cameras and generate text descriptions summarizing what happened in them. Users can search through footage to find specific events, such as a package delivery, without needing to watch each clip individually.
The app will also surface noteworthy clips at the top of the Search page, so users can quickly identify important moments. When playing a clip, the Home app can pull together footage from multiple cameras to provide a more complete picture of an event.
Apple Intelligence will also make accessory notifications smarter. Rather than receiving a separate alert for every triggered accessory, the Home app will understand related notifications as a single ongoing activity and deliver one notification that continues to update as the activity unfolds.

I wonder if this will support feeds from Frigate and/or HAOS. That could be useful.
I have all of my Unifi Protect cameras fed into Homekit using Scrypted. Looks like the activities are showing up on the common feed now, but AI notifications don't look to be live yet.
