Beginner develop app with siri control

I'd like to try designing an apple app that has siri control to count up to a set limit via voice control.

For example, I could say 'Siri - add 3lb', then a few minutes later, 'Siri-add 6lb'. (which would bring a total to 9lb).

Then a bit later say 'Siri- add 2lb' (so would then bring a running total to 11lb)

Then add other commands such as 'Siri - what is the total' to then get a total of how much is in the basket and how far I am off the set limit.

Or add a warning if a set limit is reached when I add further contents. Or, then add a second basket and start afresh.

I just don't know whether this is possible or where to start in the design process as I'm a complete newbie on this kind of thing.

What I want to know is where to start. What is the software needed? Is it App-intents, Xcode, Swift etc. Any pointers to where I should start researching first would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

I've been googling a bit more and can see that to leverage siri into a 3rd party app then need to use these requests (intents) and use Sirikit to link what your request is with the app. I can see that Siri can create 'To-do lists', create notes, reminders etc as already integrated features but not a calculator or spreadsheet that can be filled (via voice) and then the cell totals added up. Does anyone know whether this is possible first before I try to figure out how to do it.

Yes I am trying to do something very similar. Basically a counter where I want to use siri to have the counter incremented. I have things coded per what was released in the WWDC 2022 info, but I can't seem to get the counter to work. On the surface it seems very very simple right. Basically increment a variable based on a siri command but I am struggling to get this function to work as well. Would love to see some more documentation on this.
