Generate Siri response programmatically

To generate a Siri response programmatically, you can use the App Intents framework. This framework allows you to define actions that Siri can perform, and you can customize the dialogue and views that Siri presents to the user. Here’s a brief overview of how you can achieve this:

1. Define the Intent: Create an intent that specifies the action you want Siri to perform. This intent can include parameters and responses.

2. Provide Dialogue and Views: You can customize what Siri says and shows to the user. This can include a combination of dialogue and SwiftUI views. For example, you can use an interpolated string for convenience, but the parameter is actually an intent dialogue instance which allows separate full and supporting dialogue if needed.

3. Handle the Result: The result of the perform method can include both dialogue that Siri can speak and a view snippet that it can show. This allows you to provide a rich user experience without necessarily opening your app.

Here’s a snippet from the session "Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents" that explains this process:

"The result of a perform method isn't just a value, it's a rich combination of things, including dialogue that Siri can speak and a view snippet it can show. If I say that my result conforms to provides dialogue and shows snippet view, I can use a different method to create the result. That takes dialog and a view. I can supply just dialog or just a view if that makes sense, but here I'm going to do both. I'll write what I want Siri to say, which may be different from the text in the snippet. I'm using an interpolated string here for convenience, but this parameter is actually an intent dialogue instance which allows separate full and supporting dialog if you need it and I supply a swiftui view."
