It's great to see Apple finally add some powerful customization, and for power users this is fantastic, but to average users this makes no difference. When it comes to normal queries, Siri is still far behind. Sure, with some extra work I can get almost any query to work, but most users don't want to manually code up all their queries.
- jsjohnst 8y agoNone of the digital assistants (I have most of them) do anything truly useful out of the box for me, so the “needing to do work to customize” isn’t an issue for me. I’m actually happy I finally can with Siri, bit late, but better than never.
- adam 8y agoPerhaps it's already there, but I wonder if shortcuts will be able to be shared or there will be a library for them. So someone can pre-define all sorts of stuff, then I as a "basic" user can just add the shortcut vs. having to "program" it myself.
- hug 8y agoWorkflow (the mother of Siri Shortcuts, as I understand it) already has sharing functionality. For example, this "get travel time to input destination" Workflow: https://workflow.is/workflows/ff987bcf0ad746d496415d7f4c75a872 https://workflow.is/workflows/ff987bcf0ad746d496415d7f4c75a8...

- threeseed 8y ago> but to average users this makes no difference Ordinary users will just pick prepackaged workflows out of the gallery. And some I can imagine being very popular e.g. "Post last photo to Instagram".
