Apple will let you build workflows using AI in its new Shortcuts app
Apple has leveraged AI to make its visual-scripting tool, Shortcuts, easier to use in iOS 27.
The Shortcuts app was largely built for power users who wanted to automate repetitive tasks, create workflows, or set up multi-app actions. The new version of Shortcuts will instead allow users to write a prompt and simply describe what they want to do.
The new feature is powered by Apple Intelligence, which helps to determine what a natural language description means so it can build out the required steps.
“While super powerful, the process of creating these shortcuts can feel, well, complicated,” admitted Celcia Dantas, Sr. Manager of Home Software Product Marketing during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday.
