Text Claude Like a Pro: An iPhone Shortcut Turns AI Into a Text Message Assistant

Tom’s Guide shows how a simple iPhone Shortcut can text Anthropic’s Claude and return Claude’s reply into Messages. By wiring a Personal Automation that triggers on a specific phrase, the workflow sends your message to Claude, gets a response, and pastes it back, enabling quick tasks like summarizing articles, brainstorming, drafting replies, or turning notes into to-do lists without leaving Messages. It’s a natural, fast way to use AI on the go, with a more fully automated API option available for power users.
