Shortcuts gets an AI upgrade, letting you describe the workflow you want in a prompt.
Apple has leveraged AI to make its visual-scripting tool, Shortcuts, easier to use in iOS 27, in a reveal shown at its WWDC 2026 event.
The Shortcuts app was largely built for power users who wanted to automate repetitive tasks, create workflows, or set up multi-app actions. The new version of Shortcuts will instead allow users to write a prompt and simply describe what they want to do.
