Turn a voice memo into meeting notes with each speaker labelled, check today's news with sources, or pull the date and place out of an email and put it in your calendar. Each of these runs as a Shortcut, without opening the app. AI Actions adds AI steps to the iOS Shortcuts app. Every action hands back text, a list, a dictionary, a yes/no or an image, so the answer goes straight into your next step: a note, a calendar event, a message or a file. With AI Actions you can: - Transcribe audio, with speakers labelled (Advanced) - Search the web and get answers with sources (Advanced) - Ask questions and get text, lists, dictionaries or yes/no back - Describe, generate and edit images (Advanced) - Send harder questions to a stronger model (Pro) - Chain actions into multi-step automations Start from a ready-made shortcut: summarize text, draft replies, turn a recipe into a grocery list, pull calendar events from a screenshot, and more. Or build your own. Works with Siri and Spotlight. Say "Hey Siri, ask AI Actions something" or find the actions in Spotlight search. The actions use models from OpenAI, Perplexity and Google. Free: 8 actions a day, 20 a day during your first week, plus a few free tries of Advanced actions in that week. Advanced and Pro raise the daily limits and include the actions marked above.

Action Button Pro lets you supercharge the Action Button on your iPhone. Create conditions and assign actions to them. Some examples: - If I'm playing music, open Spotify - If I'm on the train, open the Podcasts app - If I'm at work, open Slack - If a meeting just started, start a new note - If it's after 10pm, turn on the flashlight - If the Warriors or the Bulls are playing, open ESPN Sequences. Group your triggers into sets like Work, Travel, or Gym and switch between them from the top of the screen. Give a sequence its own condition and it switches itself when you get there. Not sure where to start? Six templates get you running in a tap. And when you press the button, you can see exactly which conditions passed, which didn't, and why — plus a history of everything your button has done. So many unique combinations and we are listening to feedback for any other suggestions you may have! Send feedback to me@shabz.co Works on any iPhone with an Action Button — iPhone 15 Pro and later.
