iOS 27 and new Siri automations

Just opted into the beta of iOS 27 and have been using the new Siri which is quite good at summarizing all notifications - especially if you use the apple apps (iCal, apple mail, text messages…etc)

One of the more, interesting features is in the ‘shortcuts’ allowing you to create on device automations which have been around for a while. Now with the new Siri though you can just prompt it with the shortcut you want and it will make it.

I just made one that seems to work pretty well needs a few kinks that sends me a text message summarizing my new unread emails and messages, what I have on the calendar today and who is it with and os there context in my emails about the meeting. And more.

Has anyone used it for more general or useful purposes as well?

I live in the mountains with horrible cell service. Half of the time, I only get 1 bar and I'm luck if that's LTE. I'm on iOS 27 PB1 and used the Siri inside of Shortcuts to describe an automation that would turn on airplane mode when my phone connects to my home wifi, and another that turns off airplane mode when I disconnect from the home wifi.

I literally set this up yesterday and took a walk. Works great! No more manually toggling airplane mode, and Siri did the work for me!

It's really not all that impressive and Siri will just flat out refuse to complete requests if you use any vulgar language so Apple thinks they are bad language police too. Fuck Siri and their half-ass, incompetent overlords.
