Teaching Siri to talk about your favorite walks in Walk Mate
A practical walk through making Siri understand app data, not just launch a shortcut and wave vaguely at the app. Walk Mate’s favorite routes become App Entities with readable properties, Spotlight indexing, Shortcuts search, and a Maps handoff, which is exactly the kind of plumbing our apps need if we want Apple Intelligence to feel useful instead of decorative. I like how grounded this is: one saved walk, one name Siri can say, one route that opens where the user expects. App Intents can get abstract fast; this keeps the work close to something a person would actually ask for.
