To support intents in your app for Siri, you can leverage the App Intents framework. This framework allows you to define a set of actions that Siri, Shortcuts, and other system experiences can use. Here are some key points about supporting intents with Siri:

  1. App Intents Framework: This is a powerful way to integrate your app with Siri, especially if your app does not overlap with an existing SiriKit domain. It allows you to define core actions and content that the system can understand and use.

  2. SiriKit Domains: If your app fits within an existing SiriKit domain, it can benefit from enhanced conversational capabilities, such as understanding references to earlier parts of a conversation.

  3. New Siri Capabilities: Siri can now invoke any item from your app's menus and search data from your app using a new Spotlight API. This allows for deeper and more natural access to your app's data and capabilities.

  4. Assistant Schemas: These are used to define actions for app intent domains, allowing Siri to perform specific actions within your app.

  5. Supported Domains: Siri is gaining support for over 100 different actions across twelve domains, allowing for flexible voice interactions.
