Set up Shortcuts AI

Pay for the work. Not another plan.

Shortcuts AI uses a credit balance rather than a recurring plan. Usage stays tied to the AI models and tools that complete each request.

Pay as you go

The current rate is shown in Billing before you add credits.

A balance you control

Add credits when you are ready. There is no recurring plan to manage.

  • Credits are deducted from the AI model and tools used for each request.
  • Top up only when you need more.
  • Your balance and transactions stay visible in Billing.

Before you set it up.

Read the full docs →
Do I need a new app?+−

No. You add one shared shortcut to Apple's Shortcuts app, which is already included on supported Apple devices.

How does usage billing work?+−

Shortcuts AI uses credits instead of a recurring plan. Each request draws from your balance based on the AI model and tools used, and Billing shows the current rate before you top up.

What can it do on my device?+−

Supported actions include creating notes, calendar events, and reminders; preparing messages and email; opening URLs; copying content; and asking follow-up questions.

Can I control how the Agent behaves?+−

Yes. You can change its instructions, choose model settings, and enable or disable supported tools without replacing your Shortcut.

Put your phone to work.

Turn an everyday request into action across the apps and services you already use.
