App Intents replaces SiriKit for the new Siri
What was announced?
As covered by developer press, including TechTimes, Apple used WWDC26 to make App Intents the mandatory integration surface for the new Siri. SiriKit, the framework that carried Siri integrations for years, is formally deprecated, with a removal window reported at roughly two to three years. Two additions came with the switch: entity and intent schemas that feed Spotlight’s semantic index, and a new View Annotations API.
The schemas are the quiet headline. An app that describes its content through them becomes findable by natural language across the system, not only inside its own search box.
What does it mean for personal, on-device writing?
Invoking a named tool by voice is now the platform’s blessed path. That sounds small. It is not. Writing help is most useful at the moment writing happens — in Mail, in Safari, in Messages — and the entry points that reach those moments belong to the system: Siri, the Share Sheet, Shortcuts, and now Spotlight’s semantic index. Apple has settled which framework owns all of them.
The deprecation clock also sorts the field. Tools built on SiriKit have a migration project ahead of them. Tools built on App Intents from the start spend those years elsewhere. And the schema work points somewhere specific: named, structured things inside apps — documents, profiles, tools — become objects the system can find and act on through plain language.
Where does ILURA stand?
This is the most directly relevant WWDC26 signal for ILURA, and the practical news is that nothing breaks. ILURA’s Siri, Share Sheet, and Shortcuts integrations were built on App Intents from day one. There is no SiriKit code to migrate. The deprecation clock that just started costs ILURA users nothing.
The new schemas are potential upside. A role playbook — your Manager voice, your Founder voice — is exactly the kind of named, structured object a semantic index exists to surface. We will evaluate exposing playbooks through the new schemas once the documentation settles.
The writing flow itself does not move: on-device Apple Intelligence, no account, Data Not Collected. The platform confirmed the road ILURA was already on.

- Is SiriKit going away?
- According to developer press coverage of WWDC26, yes. SiriKit is formally deprecated with a removal window of roughly two to three years, and App Intents becomes the required surface for the new Siri.
- Does ILURA need to migrate to App Intents?
- No. ILURA's Siri, Share Sheet, and Shortcuts integrations were built on App Intents from the start, so the deprecation costs ILURA users nothing. The new Spotlight schemas are potential upside to evaluate.
