Hi all,

I see that SiriKit is available for the following types of services in apps:

Audio or Video calling
Messaging
Sending or receiving payments
Searching photos
Booking a ride
Managing workouts

What about ANOTHER service? Say I just want to use Siri to open up a particular screen in my app? e.g. "Hey Siri. Open up <Screen/Function> on <App X>". Is that not supported? Or is it supported another way?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Same concerns here. It seems to me like SiriKit is absolutely useless for 99% of developers. We need some sort of generic task like "add some value to some app" and let the app handle the data as it sees fit.

yes, it seems rather premature to be releasing this as a "Kit". It'll be useful when they offer something close to api.ai, Amazon AVS, Nuance Mix, wit.ai...or pretty much everyone else in the same technology space!
