With iOS 26, Apple has brought Apple Intelligence directly into Shortcuts — unlocking new automation power for everyday tasks.
💡 What’s New & How It Works
The “Use Model” action is the gateway: embed AI responses within your Shortcuts to dynamically transform content, summarize, or generate context-aware results.
You can run the model on-device for privacy and speed, or use Private Cloud Compute or extension models (ChatGPT) when you need more horsepower.
Tasks you used to do manually — like summarizing long text, turning a grocery list into meal ideas, or cleaning up transcripts — can now be baked into one streamlined shortcut.
🔍 Why It Matters
This isn’t just smarter shortcuts — it’s a shift in how your iPhone (or iPad) can think for you. Rather than rigid routines, Shortcuts gain flexibility and nuance to adapt. It’s automation that assists, not just acts.
