I'm really looking forward to Siri Shortcuts, but I'm almost certain it won't be able to do the main thing I would like it to do, which is listen for keywords in my command and do certain actions based on the keyword(s) rather than based only on entire commands. I would use "I'm" or "I am" as one of my keywords to listen for in a command.
For example, I want to be able to tell Siri "I'm working on Project X" and then she makes a note (or adds to a note if one was already created for that day) about what I'm doing and the start time, then she starts a stopwatch that goes until I say another keyword, "Finished working on Project X" at which point she will stop the timer and update the note with the end time. Bonus would be if I forgot to tell her when I was finished, if I could say "Finished working on Project X at 3:30" then she would do all the same actions but make sure the end time was recorded correctly.
I want this to work with anything I say using the keyword. So I could say, "I'm brushing my teeth," or "I'm driving to work," or "I'm going for a run," and she would go through the same list of actions. I really like tracking my time and looking at the patterns and habits, but to track with any level of detail takes too much time. With this feature I would be able to just tell Siri any time I am starting or stopping a task, and she would take care of the rest.
This is just one of the many things I would like to be able to do with Siri Shortcuts. What about you? What do you want Siri Shortcuts to be able to do? Or if you already know of something awesome you can do with Workflow/Shortcuts, then post it here so all of us can use it!
