Multiple reports say Apple’s iOS 27, announced at WWDC, includes an AI-driven upgrade to the Shortcuts app aimed at making automations easier to create. The Digital Trends report says iOS 27 uses Apple Intelligence to let users describe a Shortcut in plain language, allowing the system to build the workflow without manually assembling many individual actions. ZDNet similarly reports that Apple announced updates to iOS 27 that improve the Shortcuts experience, highlighting the impact of an AI feature on how users create automations.
Together, the sources describe a shift from building Shortcuts through selecting and configuring numerous steps to using natural language to generate them. While both accounts focus on the same general capability, they do not provide additional implementation details beyond the use of Apple Intelligence and the expectation that this approach reduces the effort required to set up daily tasks. The reports present the upgrade as part of broader iOS 27 announcements, with Shortcuts improvements positioned as a key benefit for users who want to automate routine activities.
