Shortcuts

In addition to running the simple shortcuts suggested by Siri:

• Use the Shortcuts app to add ready-made or custom shortcuts to your devices.
• The app lets you combine multiple steps across multiple apps to create powerful task automations.

A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist.

Class Discussion

• What features would you recommend Apple bring to the table with Siri that aren’t already implemented?
• How would you feel if voice recognition technology was able to remember and connect you to all of your devices at the same time?
• If Apple came up with their own version of a more capable HomeKit that was ran by Siri to have a smart home, would you buy it?
