Apple enhances Shortcuts with AI for smarter automations

Apple's Shortcuts app will receive significant upgrades in iOS 26 and macOS 26, integrating Apple Intelligence features for smarter automations. This update will allow users to create more complex workflows. The new Shortcuts will leverage Apple Intelligence, offering actions like text proofreading, image generation, and audio transcription. A "Use Model" action will enable processing prompts with on-device, cloud, or ChatGPT models. These updates also bring automation features to macOS, similar to those on iOS, and expand the app's capabilities. While the app still has limitations, the improvements suggest a continued focus on automation.
