To integrate your existing app intent with the new Apple Intelligence, you should focus on using the app intents framework. Here are the key steps and considerations:
-
Use App Intents Framework: App intents allow you to define a set of actions for Siri, Shortcuts, and other system experiences. This framework is essential for integrating your app with Apple Intelligence.
-
Expose App Capabilities: Ensure your app's capabilities are exposed using app intents. This will enable Siri to access your app's data and capabilities more naturally.
-
Adopt New Assistant Schema APIs: If your app does not overlap with an existing Sirikit domain, you should adopt the new assistant schema APIs to benefit from Siri's enhanced capabilities.
-
Test with Shortcuts: Use the Shortcuts app to test your app intents. This is a great way to verify that your actions are working correctly before they are automatically integrated with Siri.
-
Personal Context Understanding: Apple Intelligence will equip Siri with a rich understanding of personal context, allowing it to search and reason over information available across the device in a safe and private way.
