Apple is set to revamp its Shortcuts app by integrating Apple Intelligence, its proprietary AI suite. This enhancement aims to simplify task automation across iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
The updated app will allow users to create and execute shortcuts using natural language commands, making automation more accessible and intuitive.
Leveraging Apple Intelligence models, the new Shortcuts app will enable users to perform actions like launching apps or playing playlists through AI-driven interactions.
While the revamped Shortcuts app is expected to be showcased at WWDC 2025, reports suggest that its public release might be postponed until 2026 due to development delays.
Apple plans to open its AI foundation models, comprising approximately three billion parameters, to third-party developers. This move will facilitate the creation of more AI-powered features across Apple's ecosystem.
The Worldwide Developers Conference 2025 is scheduled from June 9 to June 13 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. The event will focus on software updates and AI advancements, including the Shortcuts app overhaul.
