Apple has leveraged AI to make its visual-scripting tool, Shortcuts, easier to use in iOS 27, as revealed at WWDC 2026. The update allows users to describe tasks in natural language to automate them, aided by Apple Intelligence. Cecilia Dantas highlighted the shift towards accessibility for non-technical users, demonstrating an example where a user types a request to notify their partner with an ETA upon leaving work, which Shortcuts automates using Apple Maps and Messages. Edits can also be made through natural language. The feature will launch with iOS 27 this fall.
