how to create intent for Apple Intelligence?

To create intents for Apple Intelligence, you will need to use the App Intents framework. This framework allows you to define a set of actions that Siri, Shortcuts, and other system experiences can perform. Here are the steps to get started:

1. Define Your App Intents: Use the App Intents framework to define the actions your app can perform. This involves specifying the inputs and outputs for each intent. For example, if your app manages photos, you might define an intent for adding a photo to an album.

2. Conform to Schemas: Apple Intelligence uses schemas to understand and process user requests. By conforming your intents to these schemas, you enable Apple Intelligence to reason over them and predict the appropriate actions based on user requests. This involves using assistant intent macros and assistant entity macros in your code.

3. Expose Capabilities: Make sure to expose your app's capabilities using the App Intents framework. This allows Siri and other system experiences to access and perform actions using your app's data and functionalities.

4. Integrate with Siri: If your app does not overlap with an existing SiriKit domain, App Intents is the right framework for you. This integration allows Siri to call the app intents that fall into supported domains, providing deeper and more natural access to your app's data and capabilities.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session Bring your app to Siri (20:10).
