This is, I think, how Apple intends to improve Shortcuts at WWDC, when we’re told it will finally introduce something it’s been working on to make things more approachable through use of artificial intelligence. Specifically, the company could place more focus on its plans to make the Apple Intelligence features it already provides available within Shortcuts.
The latter might mean (and remember, this is speculation) you would be able to do more than simply send a website link to someone using the command, “Send this website to Sandra.” You might also be able to send a nice summary of what that site contains, perhaps with a relevant Genmoji to make your email punchy.
Towards a new user interface
We’ll learn next week how Apple intends to do this integration. It is possible the company will only be able to navigate part of the journey, given all the insider reports detailing problems connecting its new AI systems with Apple’s legacy ones. All the same, the general idea seems to be that rather than figuring out how to describe your desired effect in an unfamiliar Shortcuts language, you should be able to string the services together using natural speech.
