Use Share Sheet to rewrite text on iPhone
The iPhone Share Sheet is useful because writing problems often appear inside another app. You may be in Mail, Notes, a browser, or a messaging app when you realize the draft needs work.
Copy-paste works, but it breaks the flow. A Share Sheet action can make the rewrite feel like part of the same task.
Basic workflow
- Select the text you want to improve.
- Tap Share.
- Choose the writing app action.
- Pick a playbook such as “make this calmer” or “rewrite in my tone.”
- Review the result.
- Paste or return the improved text.
The important detail is that the user starts with real selected text, not a blank prompt.
Best use cases
Share Sheet rewriting works well for:
- softening a tense reply
- shortening a long draft
- making a message sound more confident
- turning rough notes into a cleaner update
- applying a saved personal style
It is less useful for tasks that need a lot of new context. For those, a normal app view may be better.
Why playbooks make it better
A Share Sheet action should not ask the user to write a prompt every time. That defeats the point.
The better pattern is:
selected text + named playbook = rewrite
ILURA uses that pattern so the user can turn a recurring writing problem into one reusable action.
Use iOS as the invocation surface
Siri, Shortcuts, App Intents and the Share Sheet are ways to call an ILURA agent. They are not the memory itself; the trained behavior stays with the role agent.
- Invoke a named agent
- Pass the selected text or context
- Review the result before sending

- Why use the Share Sheet instead of copy-paste?
- The Share Sheet keeps the workflow closer to the message you are already editing. You send selected text into the tool and bring the rewrite back.
- What kinds of text can be rewritten this way?
- It is most useful for emails, notes, drafts, messages, customer replies, and short updates where the text already exists.
- Does Share Sheet mean Siri AI tool calling?
- No. The Share Sheet is a normal iOS integration pattern. It can work without depending on unreleased Siri AI-native behavior.
