To enhance your app's features using Shortcuts and foundation models, you can leverage the App Intents framework and the new Use Model action. This allows you to integrate intelligent actions into your app, enabling it to perform tasks like web searches and other actions while chatting via Shortcuts.

1. Use Model Action: This action lets you incorporate Apple Intelligence models into your shortcuts. You can choose between a large server-based model for complex requests or an on-device model for simpler tasks. Additionally, you can use ChatGPT for broader knowledge and expertise. This is covered in the session Develop for Shortcuts and Spotlight with App Intents.

2. Tool Calling: The Foundation Models API supports tool calling, which allows the model to autonomously decide when to fetch additional information or perform actions, such as web searches or interacting with other apps. This is discussed in the Platforms State of the Union.

3. App Intents Framework: By adopting the App Intents framework, you can expose your app's core features to users through Shortcuts and Spotlight. This includes creating parameterized shortcuts actions and integrating them with Siri and Spotlight. More details can be found in the session Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents.

By utilizing these tools and frameworks, you can create a more interactive and intelligent experience for users interacting with your app through Shortcuts.
