SiriKit is a framework introduced by Apple in iOS 10 that allows developers to integrate their apps with Siri. It enables apps to use system-provided intents to perform actions that users commonly request from Siri, such as playing music or sending a text message. SiriKit domains are predefined categories that support specific types of interactions, making it easier for developers to enable these features in their apps.
In addition to SiriKit, Apple introduced App Intents in iOS 16, a new framework that allows for deeper integration with Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and more. This framework is particularly useful if your app does not fit into an existing SiriKit domain. With the advancements in Apple intelligence, including new large language models, Siri's capabilities have been significantly enhanced, allowing for more flexible and intelligent interactions.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session titled "Bring your app to Siri" from WWDC 2024.
