Send a command to Siri

1.4k Views Asked by At

There are several hundred commands, over a thousand variations, that Siri will accept and act on. For example, "Schedule a meeting with Sean tomorrow at 1 PM" will create an entry in your Calendar.

Is there any way for an application (non-jailbroken / appstore approved) to send Siri (or its subsystem) these commands? Not via voice - just my app sending Siri the text string it already understands and having it act on the command. I don't want to launch Siri, just have it process the command initiated by my app, instead of via voice.

I understand that the Sirikit is designed to have Siri send commands to apps, not the other way around, but I was hoping there was some way to do it.

There's no way to do this with Siri. But Apple provides the libraries for interacting with the underlying system components. For example, check out EventKit for working with reminders or a user's calendar.
