Siri, Shortcuts, and SiriKit

What we call "Siri" is powered by a few key technologies and frameworks, and extends to everything from robust multi-step shortcuts in the Shortcuts app to the system-defined intents of SiriKit that power rich, voice-driven experiences. We’ll show you how to choose the Siri technology that best fits your needs — system intents, custom intents, user activities — and how to leverage it within your app. Discover how to optimize your app’s performance with extensions or in-app intent handling, learn more about advances in intents for your developer workflow, and find out how to engage people with voice interactions with SiriKit and beyond.
