Use Siri with SmythOS (Webhook Integration)
Trigger agents with your voice. Connect Apple’s Siri Shortcuts to SmythOS using secure webhook URLs and unlock hands-free workflows on iOS.

Why Use Siri to Activate Your SmythOS Agent?
Siri is already built into your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch... so why not turn it into a control center for your AI agent?
With this integration, you can:
- Trigger workflows by voice ("Hey Siri, summarise my inbox")
- Launch tasks without touching a screen
- Build accessibility-friendly AI assistants
- Combine native iOS automations with your SmythOS agents
What You Need to Get Started
- A deployed SmythOS agent with webhook support
- Your agent must be publicly accessible (e.g., Deploy via Webhook)
- iPhone or iPad with iOS 14+
- The Shortcuts app installed (usually default on iOS)
Step 1: Get Your SmythOS Webhook URL
- Go to your deployed agent in SmythOS
- Click Deploy and select Webhook
- Copy the generated URL (e.g.,
https://your-agent.smythos.com/api/v1/chat
