The Automation Gap: Apple Is Running Out of Time to Build a Shortcuts Bridge to the Future

Next week on AppStories, Federico and I will cover some of our favorite recent automations. Not to spoil the episode, but it’s not an episode about Shortcuts.
Yes, we each share some shortcuts we’ve built, but there’s also a healthy dose of third-party automation apps, services, and AI projects sprinkled throughout. I take that as a sign that automation is alive and well on Apple platforms. At the same time, though, it’s also a symptom of a bigger issue, especially on the Mac, that I don’t think can be ignored given Apple’s push to make apps interoperable via Apple Intelligence.
