Adding AI to Shortcuts

Part of The Shortcuts Series

In Part 3, we discussed creating shortcuts that deal with lists of data and take actions or process items for us.

We even worked on creating a morning briefing shortcut that pulls data from our calendar and to-do app and prepares us for the day ahead.

We will take this foundation further in this part of the Shortcuts series by creating AI-powered shortcuts that can do much more complex operations with minimal handholding.

Let's start by creating:

An on-demand workout routine generator

Ever since generative AI has hit the market, many apps have popped up that can create personalised workout routines for us.

What if the Shortcuts app could do the same, at least at a rudimentary level?

Turns out, this is not only possible, but quite easy to build.
