苹果MacBook快捷指令入门指南:用AI轻松实现自动化
快捷指令(Shortcuts)自macOS Monterey起便已登陆Mac平台,但许多Mac用户从未探索过这一实用工具。初次接触时,它看上去颇为复杂——你需要了解该选择哪些操作、如何将它们串联起来,然后祈祷一切顺利运行。
不过,macOS 27 Golden Gate带来了“描述快捷指令”(Describe a Shortcut)功能,改变了这一局面。该功能允许你直接输入需求,由AI代劳繁重的操作。虽然并非每次都能成功,但它让这款应用变得容易上手得多,尤其适合非专业用户。
如果你对快捷指令还不熟悉,它本质上是一款自动化工具,你可以创建脚本,让设备自动处理各类任务。苹果官方给出的示例是:下班离开时,自动给配偶发短信,告知基于路况估算的到家时间。你还可以搭建更复杂的快捷指令,比如自动查看日历和天气,为你汇总当天的日程安排。
可能性非常丰富,而如今借助macOS 27,掌握这款应用变得容易了许多。
在Mac上创建快捷指令很简单
新建一个快捷指令只需几秒钟。打开Mac上的快捷指令应用,点击加号按钮,输入一段描述即可。你提供的细节越多,应用越有可能正确生成你想要的快捷指令。像“清理我的下载文件夹”这样的指令可能过于模糊,应用无法理解你的真实意图。不妨换成:“每周五,把下载文件夹中超过30天的文件移到名为‘归档’的文件夹中。”当你提供清晰的细节时,生成可用快捷指令的概率会大大提高。
这也是快捷指令帮你处理那些经常忘记做的事情的一个好例子——除非是为了腾出空间,否则没人会真的去清理下载文件夹。此外,你可以立即打开文件夹查看移动结果。如果快捷指令移动了过多文件,可以重新输入更具体的描述来调整。
快捷指令还非常适合配合Apple Intelligence来总结长文本。试试这样的指令:“取出剪贴板上的文本,用三句话总结并保存到新备忘录中。”然后复制一篇长文章或邮件,运行快捷指令,你就能在备忘录中得到精简版本。
让快捷指令更触手可及
如果一个快捷指令不在你的日常流程中,很可能过段时间就被遗忘了。好在你可以为快捷指令分配键盘快捷键,或将其固定到菜单栏,这样就不会忘记它了。
选择你想调整的快捷指令,点击“编辑”。进入“快捷指令详细信息”菜单(带有信息图标的那个),选择“添加键盘快捷键”。若要将其添加到控制中心或菜单栏,打开Mac右上角的控制中心,选择“编辑控制项”,然后从快捷指令应用中添加相应操作即可。探索“自动化”标签页也是个好主意,可以创建一套无缝衔接的快捷指令工作流,在需要时自动运行。
快捷指令并非macOS 27中唯一能替你执行操作的功能。“视觉智能”(Visual Intelligence)拥有自己的快捷键组合:Shift + Command + Space。按下后,选择一个屏幕上的窗口,让Siri回答相关问题或执行操作,比如向日历添加事件。你可以试着在一封埋有日期的邮件上使用它。说到Siri,它也能通过语音运行你的快捷指令。
快捷指令和Siri AI需要Apple Intelligence支持,这意味着你需要一台搭载M1芯片或更新芯片的Mac——Intel Mac用户无法使用。此外,在快捷指令中使用苹果AI模型时可能存在一些限制,更复杂的指令可能会更快触及上限。

如何在MacBook上开始使用“快捷指令”
借助“快捷指令”和Apple Intelligence,轻松让你的Mac实现自动化。
自macOS Monterey起,Mac上就有了“快捷指令”,但它是许多Mac用户从未探索过的实用工具之一。乍一看,它似乎过于复杂。你必须知道该选择哪些操作、如何将它们连接起来,然后还得指望一切都能正常运行。
但macOS 27 Golden Gate通过“描述快捷指令”功能改变了这一点,它让你可以直接输入自己的需求,由“快捷指令”借助AI替你完成繁重的工作。它并非总是奏效,但让这款应用变得好用得多——尤其是当你并非专家的时候。
如果你不熟悉“快捷指令”,它是一款自动化工具,你可以创建脚本来处理设备上的各项任务。苹果自己举的例子是:一个快捷指令可以在你下班时,根据交通状况给配偶发短信告知预计到家时间。但你还可以做得复杂得多,比如一个快捷指令可以查看你的日历和天气,为你汇总今天预计会发生的事情。
可能性多种多样,而现在有了macOS 27,掌握这款应用变得容易多了。
在Mac上创建快捷指令很简单
创建一个新快捷指令只需几秒钟。打开Mac上的“快捷指令”应用,点击加号按钮即可输入提示词。你提供的细节越多,应用就越有可能正确生成你想要的快捷指令。像“清理我的下载文件夹”这样的指令可能过于含糊,应用无法理解你真正想要什么。不妨试试这样的写法:“每周五,把下载文件夹中超过30天的所有内容移动到名为‘归档’的文件夹中。”当你提供清晰的细节时,更有可能得到一个能正常使用的快捷指令。
这是一个很好的例子,说明“快捷指令”对那些你经常忘记去做的任务很有帮助;除非是想腾出空间,否则没人真的会去清理自己的下载文件夹。而且,你可以立刻打开文件夹查看哪些内容被移动了,从而检验结果。如果快捷指令移动了太多内容,就重新输入提示词,加上更具体的细节。
快捷指令也很适合用Apple Intelligence来总结长文本。试试这样的指令:“取出我剪贴板上的文本,用三句话总结,并保存到一条新备忘录中。”然后复制一篇长文章或一封邮件,运行这个快捷指令,你就能在“备忘录”中得到简短版本。
让你的快捷指令更容易找到
如果一个快捷指令不属于你的日常使用习惯,你很可能会过一阵子就把它忘了。好在你可以给快捷指令分配一个键盘快捷键,或将它固定到菜单栏,这样你就永远不会忘记它了。
选择你想调整的快捷指令,点击“编辑”。进入“快捷指令详细信息”菜单(带有信息图标的那个),选择“添加键盘快捷键”。要将其添加到控制中心或菜单栏,请打开Mac上的控制中心(位于右上角),选择“编辑控制项”。在那里,你只需从“快捷指令”应用中添加相应操作,就大功告成了。探索“自动化”标签页也是个好主意,可以打造一套无缝衔接的快捷指令工作流,让它们在你需要时自行运行。
“快捷指令”并不是macOS 27中唯一能替你办事的功能。“视觉智能”有自己的快捷键组合:Shift + Command + Space。按下后,在屏幕上选择一个窗口,让Siri回答关于它的问题或采取行动,比如往你的日历中添加一个事件。举个例子,不妨在一封藏着日期的邮件上试试。顺便说一句,Siri也可以通过语音运行你的快捷指令。
“快捷指令”和Siri AI需要Apple Intelligence,这意味着你需要一台搭载M1芯片或更新芯片的Mac——Intel Mac用户就没这个福分了。此外,在“快捷指令”中使用苹果的AI模型时可能会有一些限制。更复杂的提示词可能会更快触及上限。

How to get started with Shortcuts on your MacBook
Automate your Mac with ease using Shortcuts and Apple Intelligence.
Shortcuts has been available on Mac since macOS Monterey, but it's one of those utilities many Mac users have never explored. At first, it can seem too complicated. You have to know which actions to choose and how to connect them, then hope it all works.
But macOS 27 Golden Gate changes that with Describe a Shortcut, which lets you type exactly what you need and have Shortcuts do the heavy work for you with AI. It doesn't always work, but it makes the app much easier to use — especially if you're not an expert.
If you're not familiar with Shortcuts, it's an automation tool where you create scripts to handle tasks on your devices. Apple's own example is a shortcut that texts your spouse with an estimated arrival time based on traffic when you're leaving work. But you can get much more complex, like a shortcut that checks your calendar and the weather to give you a summary of what to expect today.
There are many possibilities, and now with macOS 27, it's much easier to master the app.
Creating shortcuts on your Mac is easy
Creating a new shortcut takes a few seconds. Open the Shortcuts app on your Mac and click the Plus button to enter a prompt. The more details you provide, the more likely the app is to get your shortcut right. A command like "Clean up my Downloads" might be too vague for the app to understand what you really want. Instead, try something like "Every Friday, move anything in my Downloads folder older than 30 days into a folder called Archive." You're more likely to end up with a working shortcut when you provide clear details.
This is a good example of how Shortcuts are helpful for tasks you often forget to do; no one really cleans out their Downloads folder unless they're trying to free up space. Plus, you can check the result right away by opening the folder and looking at what moved. If the shortcut moved too much, re-enter the prompt with even more specific details.
A shortcut can also be great for summarizing long text with Apple Intelligence. Try something like "Take the text on my clipboard, summarize it in three sentences and save it to a new note." Then copy a long article or an email, run the shortcut and you'll have the short version in Notes.
Make your shortcuts easier to reach
If a shortcut isn't part of your normal routine, chances are you'll forget about it after a while. Thankfully, you can assign a keyboard combo to a shortcut, or pin it to the menu bar, so you'll never forget it.
Choose the shortcut you want to adjust and click Edit. Go to the Shortcut Details menu (the one with the information icon) and select Add Keyboard Shortcut. To add it to the Control Center or menu bar, open Control Center on your Mac (at the top-right) and select Edit Controls. There, all you have to do is add the action from the Shortcuts app, and you're all set. Exploring the Automation tab is also a good idea for creating a seamless workflow of shortcuts that run on their own when you need them.
Shortcuts isn't the only element in macOS 27 that acts on your behalf. Visual Intelligence has its own key combo: Shift + Command + Space. After pressing this, select a window on-screen and have Siri answer questions about it or take action, like adding an event to your calendar. Try it on an email with a date buried in it, for example. Siri can also run your shortcuts via voice, speaking of which.
Shortcuts and Siri AI require Apple Intelligence, which means you need a Mac with an M1 chip or later — Intel Mac users are out of luck. Also, some limits may apply when using Apple's AI models in Shortcuts. More complex prompts could reach a limit faster.
