## Discussion

Use this property to create interactive descriptions of your app intent that include
relevant parameter values. You can use this property to provide multiple summaries
reflecting specific parameter values or combinations of values. You can also incorporate
specific parameters values into your descriptions using variable substitution. The
Shortcuts app uses the contents of this property to create bespoke shortcuts for your app.

For information about how to create parameter summaries for an app intent, see
[Provide an interactive parameter summary for your intent](/documentation/AppIntents/Adding-parameters-to-an-app-intent#Provide-an-interactive-parameter-summary-for-your-intent).
