094 - Siri on iOS 27

Follow-up to my last video on Siri in iOS 27. I've been adding AppIntents and AppSchemas to more apps and noticed a few things Apple's docs don't make obvious.

The big one: exposing your data to Spotlight via the search API is not enough for Siri to find it. You have to mark your objects as app entities with a schema (we used the notes schema in Monologue). Once we did that, Siri could pull up specific notes with full context, with app branding and deep links.

What still doesn't work well: asking for multiple entities at once, date range filters, and summarizing across notes. The EntityPropertyQuery is there and exposed, Siri just doesn't use it reliably yet.
