Am working on a project to migrate to Blueprints in Jamf Pro as much as I can and something I’m finding exceptionally frustrating is how to plan for future management of Apple Intelligence. We disable it by default for a host of privacy/protection reasons, but everywhere I look I see that the current tools will be deprecated (or were with 26.4) and there’s zero guidance on how to manage this going forward.
Currently resorting to some Custom Settings payloads but am under the impression this will soon also not work after 27.0’s release. Couldn’t find anything searching the boards, but would love if I could get clarification from the community on if I’m correct or not in my concern or where to look for future-proofing.

Future of Apple Intelligence Management

Deprecated doesn’t mean removed. Systems have been deprecated for a decade but are still there. The DDM methods are the recommended way, but to plan for the unknown future is a never winning battle.
Also I wrote some blogs on Apple Intelligence and non officially supported ways to manage it

I may be answering my own question, but this seems to be a declarative list that’ll apply after 26.4:

I figure this will eventually be incorporated into the Blueprints engine for Jamf Pro, but might have to be utilized in Custom declarations until then.
