The Shortcuts app can be intimidating to casual iPhone users, but with iOS 27, it's a lot easier to use. With Apple Intelligence integration, shortcuts can be created using natural language, and they're much more accessible to the average person.
Describe a Shortcut
When you tap on the New Shortcut button in the iOS 27 Shortcuts app, it opens to the Describe a Shortcut interface.
There's a text box that asks you what you want your shortcut to do, and you can describe what you need in natural language. You can start with a single step, or add in multiple parameters. Apple Intelligence selects the correct actions, creates the automations, and folds it all into a completed shortcut. A few examples of what you can do:

Every morning, show me my first meeting, today's weather, and my Reminders due today.
