This post is from the WWDC26 App Intents & Siri Q&A.

Hi, I have a list of contacts that I store in my app. Can I list all the contacts and their properties into the new Siri by adopting this schema?

@available(iOS 27.0, *)
@AppEntity(schema: .messages.messagePerson)
struct CJPersonAppIndexedEntity: IndexedEntity {
...
}

It's not really part of the 'messages' domain, but is it correct to use?

Also, if I have a concept of a 'task' and 'file' in my app? Can I use the .reminders domain and use .createreminder intent, and mix that 'reminders' and 'files' domains with the 'messages' domain, all in the same app?

Yes, mixing domains in a single app is not a misuse of the API. I'd just remember to adopt Transferable in order for entities to cross application and domain boundaries.
