Perhaps it's already there, but I wonder if shortcuts will be able to be shared or there will be a library for them. So someone can pre-define all sorts of stuff, then I as a "basic" user can just add the shortcut vs. having to "program" it myself.

Workflow (the mother of Siri Shortcuts, as I understand it) already has sharing functionality.

For example, this "get travel time to input destination" Workflow: https://workflow.is/workflows/ff987bcf0ad746d496415d7f4c75a8...

Shortcuts has this as well.

None of the digital assistants (I have most of them) do anything truly useful out of the box for me, so the “needing to do work to customize” isn’t an issue for me. I’m actually happy I finally can with Siri, bit late, but better than never.

> but to average users this makes no difference

Ordinary users will just pick prepackaged workflows out of the gallery.

And some I can imagine being very popular e.g. "Post last photo to Instagram".
