To expose the playlists and podcasts in your app to Siri, you should use App Intents. According to the session "Bring your app to Siri," if your app does not overlap with an existing SiriKit domain, App Intents is the right framework for you. App Intents allows you to define your app's core actions and content so that system features like Siri can present them outside your app. This is particularly useful if your app's functionality does not fit into the predefined SiriKit domains.
For more detailed guidance on how to implement App Intents, you might want to check out the session Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents (05:44) which explains the framework and how to build the code to integrate your app's features with system experiences like Siri.
