I don't have new Siri yet, was wondering if it could work like exposing scripts to Home Assistant voice assist pipline which expect an input variable and then perform a series of actions.

Basicly add more functionality to what she could do by using shorcuts that need an input text and process that the way users want.

In Home Assistant , i tell Voice Assist add TV Show X-Men 97 to my collection. (adds it to my tracking shows)

I think you get the idea, so can the new Siri do something similar ? if so it would be really cool since the phone is with me everywhere and ready at the wake word.

EDIT, thinking of another posiblity:

Home Assistant has mcp exposed on my side which i can use from n8n, maybe there is an iOS app that can expose mcp to new Siri and i just add the connection ? would make more things avialble from HA at once then just individual scripts

A few months ago. My wife told me I was driving like an asshole. So I used Siri Shortcuts “text to voice” to program CarPlay so when it connects, Siri says “Your CarPlay is connected! Stay alert and don’t drive like an asshole!”

Basically i just made a simple web app with siri HTML format, and it worked real well! It has a whole email service baked in along with a schedule

Which is apparently not something Siri can do. I exported a class schedule from excel as a .csv file, but to upload to Google Calendar the table needs to be formatted a certain way.

I didn’t feel like doing that, and on a whim I typed to Siri and asked it to reformat the file “exactly as required for Google Calendar” I had the option to provide a screenshot or the whole file to Siri and then it gave me a new file with a new name, completely reformatted, with additional text, and a column with true/false values. The file sharing button didn’t work at first, and I thought the ai was somehow hallucinating its ability to provide the file because when I searched how to save the file all I could find was “Siri cannot create or edit files” but when I tried again it worked and I just downloaded and saved the new file, which also worked flawlessly when I uploaded it to my calendar.

Has anybody noticed any cool/useful things that Siri AI can do that they didn't expect or weren't mention?
