To add a new Siri intent to interact with Siri Intelligence, you should use the App Intents framework. This framework allows you to define a set of actions for Siri, Shortcuts, and other system experiences. Here are the steps you can follow:
-
Choose the Right Framework: If your app does not overlap with an existing SiriKit domain, App Intents is the appropriate framework for you. SiriKit is still available for domains like messaging or media playback.
-
Define App Intents: Use the App Intents framework to define the actions you want Siri to perform. This involves creating an app intent schema that conforms to the new APIs provided by Apple.
-
Implement the Intent: In your code, implement the necessary methods to handle the intent. This includes defining the perform method that executes the action when invoked by Siri.
-
Use Assistant Schemas: Assistant schemas provide additional build-time validation for your app intents, ensuring they match the trained models' expectations.
-
Test with Shortcuts: Once your app intents are defined, they will automatically appear as actions in the Shortcuts app, allowing you to test and integrate them with the broader Shortcuts ecosystem.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Bring your app to Siri (13:07) where these steps are demonstrated.
