To integrate app functionality with Siri and Shortcuts, you define custom AppIntent actions and AppShortcutsProvider phrases. This allows users to trigger your app's features directly via voice commands or the Shortcuts app.

Make app data searchable in Spotlight by conforming your data models to IndexedEntity within an AppEntity definition. This exposes your app's entities directly to the system search index for user queries.

Migrating from SiriKit to App Intents involves replacing legacy intent definitions with modern AppIntent actions and AppEntity models. This transition streamlines system integration across Siri, Shortcuts, and interactive widgets.

You can build interactive widgets for both the home screen and Control Center using App Intents. This framework allows widgets to perform actions directly without opening the main application.

Expose app entities to Apple Intelligence by defining AppEntity models backed by an EntityQuery. This structured data approach allows system services to understand and act upon your app's content.

Defining an EntityQuery is necessary when your App Intents reference specific app data or entities within Shortcuts. The query allows the system to fetch and populate parameters dynamically during shortcut execution.
