# Media Intents

Enable people to use Siri to find and play media from your app.

## Overview

People use Siri to find and play media from your app. For example, people make specific requests like
“Siri, play Example song by Example artist” or “Siri, play the latest episode from $podcast”. However, they also make vague requests, such as “Play the song my friend sent me” or “Play energetic music”.
For every request, Siri needs to respond with a matching result from your app.

The Media Intents framework gives your app the [`AudioSearch`](/documentation/MediaIntents/AudioSearch) type it
needs to receive and resolve these requests, regardless of how the
person phrases them. The system delivers the app search type to your app using the
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppIntents> framework,
and you use App Intents to return matching results to Siri.
