App Intents
A system framework provided by Apple that allows third-party applications to expose structured, callable action interfaces to Siri and system Shortcuts. It serves as the technical foundation for Apple Intelligence and Siri to execute cross-application tasks.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Shortcuts allows users to string together operations from multiple apps into automated workflows, and third-party apps need to expose App Intents interfaces to integrate.
Unlike MCP which relies on network requests, App Intents goes through the local system layer, resulting in lower latency and no need for an internet connection
Mainstream paths for third-party app authorization include obtaining access authorization via the OAuth protocol, or relying on OS-level deep integration such as Apple's App Intents framework or Android's system-level permission mechanisms.
Apple's App Intents framework allows third-party applications to expose callable structured operations to Siri.
