How to access Amazon Bedrock on your iPhone with iOS Shortcut

This post was inspired by How to use ChatGPT on your Apple Watch and iPhone. However, we use Anthropic Claude V2 on Amazon Bedrock instead of ChatGPT. In the rest of the article, you will learn how to set up an iOS Shortcut for using Amazon Bedrock on your iPhone.

This is made up of the following steps:

1. Access Amazon Bedrock using boto3 SDK.
2. Create and deploy a REST API with FastAPI on AWS AppRunner.
3. Create Amazon Bedrock Shortcut on iOS

After following these steps, you can use Amazon Bedrock from your iOS devices via the Shortcuts app.

1. Access Amazon Bedrock using boto3 SDK.

2. Deploy a REST API with FastAPI on AWS AppRunner.

We use a bash script and AWS Cloudformation templates to deploy the container application on AWS AppRunner

3. Create Amazon Bedrock Shortcut on iOS

This was my first time creating an iOS shortcut and was able to make it work in less than 15 minutes following the example in the post How to use ChatGPT on your Apple Watch and iPhone.

That’s it — now you’re ready to use Amazon Bedrock as conveniently as possible from your iPhone or Apple Watch.
