# IntentResult A type that contains the result of performing an action, and includes optional information to deliver back to the initiator. ``` protocol IntentResult : Sendable ``` ## Overview Instead of implementing this protocol, use the [`ReturnsValue`](/documentation/AppIntents/ReturnsValue), [`OpensAppIntent`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentResult/OpensAppIntent), [`ProvidesDialog`](/documentation/AppIntents/ProvidesDialog), and [`ShowsSnippetView`](/documentation/AppIntents/ShowsSnippetView) type aliases on your [`perform()`](/documentation/AppIntents/AppIntent/perform()) implementation in combination with the [`result()`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentResult/result()) methods as shown in the following example: ```swift func perform() async throws -> some ReturnsValue & OpensAppIntent { .result(value: 1, opensIntent: MyOpensIntent()) } ``` ## Topics ### Getting the result value [`value`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentResult/value-swift.property) ### Communicating the result to the user [`Dialog`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentResult/Dialog) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
