Apple lets you vibe-code shortcuts in iPadOS 27Apple Intelligence makes Shortcuts far easier to approach in iPadOS 27. Users can describe a task in plain language, and the app generates a workflow based on that request.
Instead of hunting through actions and connecting them one by one, users can start with a prompt and refine the result inside the existing editor. The change addresses one of the biggest challenges that has limited Shortcuts for years.
Shortcuts can automate tasks across apps, process information, manage files, and control smart-home devices. Building custom workflows often requires users to understand actions, variables, inputs, and outputs before they can create something useful.
