[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>As part of iOS 26, Apple added Apple Intelligence support to the Shortcuts app, allowing AI models to be incorporated into shortcuts. In contrast, the new version that Apple is working on will let users create actions using Apple Intelligence models \u2013 by issuing voice commands in natural language, for example.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that this new capability will tie in with the broader Siri revamp that will apply not just to the new Siri app, but also through systemwide \u2018Ask Siri\u2019 buttons.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you\u2019re using the Shortcuts app in iOS 27, there may be an \u2018Ask Siri\u2019 button that enables you to create new custom actions via a text prompt or voice command.<\/p>\n<p>Are you interested in creating custom Shortcuts actions using AI in iOS 27?
