How can I integrate Siri into my app

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

1. SiriKit: Introduced in iOS 10, SiriKit allows developers to use intents provided by the system to enable actions that users commonly ask Siri to perform, such as playing music or sending a text message. SiriKit domains are predefined categories of intents that your app can support. If your app's functionality fits into one of these domains, SiriKit is the best way to integrate Siri.

2. App Intents: 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 custom intents that Siri can use to interact with your app. This framework is more flexible and can be used to integrate your app with Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and more.

Steps to Integrate Siri

1. Define Intents: Use SiriKit or App Intents to define the actions that your app can perform. For SiriKit, you will use predefined intents, while for App Intents, you can create custom intents.

2. Implement Intents: Implement the intent handling in your app. This involves writing code to handle the intents and perform the corresponding actions in your app.

3. Test Integration: Test your Siri integration using the Shortcuts app. Create a new action, filter for your app, and run the action to see if it performs as expected.

4. Enhance with Apple Intelligence: Leverage Apple Intelligence to make Siri more capable and contextually aware. This includes using new APIs for in-app actions and personal context capabilities.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session "Bring your app to Siri" from WWDC 2024.
