# conversation

An entity schema for a conversation.

```
var conversation: some AppSchemaEntity { get }
```

## Discussion

To make your app’s content available to Apple Intelligence, conform your [`AppEntity`](/documentation/AppIntents/AppEntity) to a schema that describes your content to the system. If your app’s functionality aligns with the `messages` domain and its content matches the `conversation` schema, you can generate the properties and protocol conformance the schema requires for your app entity implementation with the `@AppEntity( .messages.conversation)` Swift macro. To make your app work with Siri, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppIntents/apple-intelligence-and-siri-ai>.

The following example shows an app entity that conforms to the `conversation` schema:

```swift
@AppEntity(schema: .messages.conversation)
struct ConversationEntity {
    // MARK: Static

    static let defaultQuery = ConversationEntityQuery()

    // MARK: Properties

    let id: <#Identifiable.ID#>

    var recipients: [<#MessagePerson#>]
    var displayName: String
    var previewText: AttributedString
    var conversationName: String?
    var isRead: Bool
    var attributes: Set<<#ConversationAttribute#>>
    var dateLastActive: Date?

    var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {
        <#DisplayRepresentation#>
    }

    // MARK: Query

    struct ConversationEntityQuery: EntityQuery {
        func entities(for identifiers: [ConversationEntity.ID]) async throws -> [ConversationEntity] {
            <#code#>
        }
    }
}
```

The schema supports the following system experiences:

- Siri
- Shortcuts
