Describe a Siri shortcut with natural language -> Siri AI builds it. Makes so much sense.
Positive users hail Apple Intelligence building iOS shortcuts from natural language prompts as a major usability win that democratizes automation, while negative users sarcastically doubt its reliability or call it unnecessary.

@MKBHD This feels like the right kind of AI feature. Not replacing the user. Just making a useful tool less painful to use.

The best technology often feels less like learning a tool and more like having a conversation. If you can simply describe what you want in natural language and the AI builds it for you, complexity fades into the background and usefulness takes center stage. That's the kind of progress that makes technology more human.

Natural language to Siri Shortcut is a fantastic leap — turning intent into automated workflows with zero friction. This will supercharge agentic tool-building and let learners instantly create personalized neuro-adaptive routines on the fly. How are you planning to use it for your own productivity or app ideas? 🚀

@MKBHD Let’s see if it doesn’t fail

@MKBHD basically what Google announced for Android last month. Wonder if this is mostly being done with Gemini models

@MKBHD Can iphones now do fluid/real time on screen translation? Similar to Gemini on Android? I don't want to screenshot and view via Google lens app. I want to be able to scroll and get continuous translation

@MKBHD Describe it and Siri builds it 👀🔥 That’s the feature that turns non-tech people into power users overnight 😂 Apple just democratized automation and nobody is talking about it enough 💪

@MKBHD This has been the obvious "next step" for Shortcuts for a while now.
Building personalized software experiences is the "killer app" of LLMs, IMO, and the company that wins is gonna be the one that offers it with most reliable guardrails & the fewest footguns.

@MKBHD This is genuinely one of the smartest features they’ve shown 🔥 No more fumbling through Shortcuts menus for hours 😂 Just tell it what you want and it builds it. That’s AI actually saving time in real life 👏

@MKBHD nice, now I just need Siri to build a shortcut to remind me what my 47 shortcuts are and how to use them

@MKBHD Who annoyed Apple for real 😂😂😅

@MKBHD Half of what most people are doing with OpenClaw and Hermes btw

@MKBHD This and safari extensions are gonna let people build so much custom software for themselves that can be actually useful too.

@MKBHD Learning shortcuts was a course of it’s own. It is soooo complex for no reason

@MKBHD The shortcuts are handy.. now.. Who actually uses image playground? anyone actually uses that as part of their life?

@MKBHD Life saver Never was able to create a shortcut on my own lol

@DurrellXR @alexmaxham @MKBHD Google cloud deal.

@MKBHD Drinking game, take a shot every-time you see the apple logo turn into a lock

@akalamao @alexmaxham @MKBHD It must have been a supremely amazing deal just to get a big cloud customer.
Especially if they know it's going to eat into their Gemini users
This is definitely going to eat into the sales pitch of buying a pixel
Not exactly but it can eat into it
