How to send a message via Siri

To send a message via Siri, you can use the capabilities provided by Sirikit and app intents. Here are the steps and relevant information:

1. Using Sirikit: Sirikit allows developers to use intents provided by the system to empower actions people already ask Siri to do, such as sending a text message. This is the traditional way to integrate messaging capabilities with Siri.

2. Using App Intents: If your app does not overlap with an existing Sirikit domain, you can use app intents. App intents is a framework that lets you define a set of actions for Siri, shortcuts, and other system experiences. This framework is particularly useful for integrating custom actions that Siri can perform.

3. Apple Intelligence Enhancements: With the introduction of Apple Intelligence, Siri can now understand and act on more complex commands. For example, Siri can access text displayed in any app that uses standard text systems, allowing users to directly reference and act on text visible on screen.

For a detailed walkthrough on how to integrate your app with Siri, you can refer to the session Bring your app to Siri.
