Making presentation actions available to Siri and Apple Intelligence

Overview

To integrate your app’s presentation capabilities with Siri and Apple Intelligence, you use Swift macros that generate additional properties and add protocol conformance for your app intent and app entity implementation that Apple Intelligence needs.

For example, if your app allows someone to open a presentation, use the AppIntent(schema:) macro and provide the assistant schema that consists of the .presentation domain and the createSlide schema:

@AppIntent(schema: .presentation.open)
struct OpenPresentationIntent: OpenIntent {
    var target: PresentationEntity

    func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
        .result()
    }
}

To learn more about assistant schemas, see Integrating actions with Siri and Apple Intelligence. For a list of available app intents in the .presentation domain, see AssistantSchemas.PresentationIntent.

Make sure your entity meets requirements

If you use app entities to describe custom data types, annotate the app entity implementation with the AppEntity(schema:) macro. This makes sure Siri and Apple Intelligence can understand your data. For example, the intent in the previous section uses PresentationEntity. The following code snippet shows how the PresentationEntity implementation uses the AppEntity(schema:) macro:

@AppEntity(schema: .presentation.document)
struct PresentationEntity {
    struct Query: EntityStringQuery {
        func entities(for identifiers: [PresentationEntity.ID]) async throws -> [PresentationEntity] { [] }
        func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [PresentationEntity] { [] }
    }

    static var defaultQuery = Query()
    var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { "Provide a display representation." }

    let id = UUID()

    var name: String
}

The assistant schema for the PresentationEntity consists of the .presentation domain and the document schema.
