Apple's Shortcuts app is getting a huge upgrade in iOS 26 and macOS 26 — here's how it will help you | Tom's Guide

I’m a big fan and power user of Shortcuts. The Weekly Thing is built using a suite of Shortcuts. I liked the addition of these Apple Intelligence features:

But there's one more action that's the most powerful and likely to make the biggest splash: Use Model. This is an open-ended command that allows you to simply enter a prompt and have it processed with one of three different large language models: the on-device one that resides on your own iPhone, Mac, or iPad; Apple's remote Private Cloud Compute; or ChatGPT.

This is actually similar to what I've done using the OpenAI API, but will be much easier for folks using these methods. I've found it very powerful and brings a "vibe coding" capability to shortcuts to do really out-of-the-box stuff.

Adding Automations support to macOS is also huge. Those triggers will open a ton of options for me. Connect to work WiFi? Automatically launch all my work apps.
