Ask AI now has three iOS shortcuts: New Chat, Dictation and Voice Mode. Put one on your iPhone's Action button, or start it with Siri or Spotlight, and Ask AI opens ready to listen.
π€ The Challenge
Your best ideas come when your hands are busy: walking to a meeting, driving between jobs, or right after a client call. Unlocking your phone, opening the app, finding Ask AI, starting a new chat and tapping the mic takes too many steps. By the time you get there, the thought is gone.
β¨ Our Solution
Pick an Ask AI shortcut for your Action button. One press opens the app, even if it was closed, starts a fresh chat and, for Dictation and Voice Mode, turns on the mic. You can also say Start voice mode in <app name> to Siri, or find the shortcuts in Spotlight. If a voice or dictation session is already running, nothing is interrupted.
π How This Supercharges Your Business
- One press to ask: go from a locked phone to talking with Ask AI in seconds.
- Hands-free updates: dictate notes or have a voice conversation while you're on the move.
- A fresh start every time: each press opens a new chat, so old topics don't mix into new answers.
- Works with Siri and Spotlight: use it even without an Action button.
- Safe by design: consent and access checks still apply, and the mic never starts unexpectedly.
π οΈ How to Get Started
- Navigate: Open iPhone Settings β Action Button and swipe to Shortcut.
- Activate: Tap Choose a Shortcut, find Secure Automation (or your app's name) and pick New Chat, Dictation or Voice Mode.
- Enjoy: Press and hold the Action button, and Ask AI opens ready to go. No Action button? Say "Start a new chat in <app name>" to Siri.
