how can i add siri functions to my app?

To add Siri functions to your app, you can use two main frameworks: SiriKit and App Intents. Here’s a brief overview of how you can integrate these into your app:

1. SiriKit:

   • SiriKit allows you to use intents provided by the system to empower actions people already ask Siri to do, such as playing music or sending a text message. SiriKit domains are still the best ways for you to enable these kinds of features.
   • If your app overlaps with an existing SiriKit domain, you should use SiriKit to integrate those functionalities.

2. App Intents:

   • Introduced in iOS 16, App Intents is a new framework to integrate your app with Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and more.
   • If your app does not overlap with an existing SiriKit domain, App Intents is the right framework for you.
   • App Intents allows you to define actions and entities that Siri can use to interact with your app. This includes creating shortcuts and enabling deeper integration with Siri.

3. Apple Intelligence:

   • With the introduction of Apple Intelligence, Siri can now perform actions in your app and integrate personal context capabilities.
   • Siri can now access text displayed in any app that uses standard text systems and take actions based on that text.
   • Siri can also search data from your app using a new Spotlight API that enables app entities to be included in its index.
