I haven't been able to get Siri AI to do anything with third-party apps on the Mac except open them (which is a system Shortcuts action), so I thought I'd ask it what it can do.
If that list of "many apps" looks familiar, it's because its a subset of iOS 10 SiriKit domains 🤦♂️

[Correction: Turns out TeachText didn't debut until System 4.1 in 1986. I wrongly thought it was in System 1 because Infinite Mac includes it in their System 1 disk image:]

Clockwise #664: "How I Use My Life"
