Apple Intelligence supercharges the Shortcuts app, allowing users to create custom automations via natural language prompts. Launch the Shortcuts app, tap the plus icon, and describe your desired action in plain English. While AI-generated shortcuts often work, they may require manual adjustments.
For example, a grayscale toggle for Instagram failed to restore color upon exit, requiring two separate shortcuts. The app rarely refuses requests but sometimes substitutes actions—like locking the screen instead of powering off at 20% battery. You can also leverage Apple Intelligence for text generation and data processing within shortcuts.
Select the 'Use Model' action to summarize articles, generate content, or process responses. Choose between Cloud, Cloud Pro, On-Device, or ChatGPT models. Enable Share Sheet integration to run shortcuts from any app.
Results vary based on prompt clarity and complexity.
