The secret sauce will most likely be tight integration with Shortcuts, enabling the language interface to drive and automate existing apps.

I really hope that Shortcuts gets a UX overhaul. It feels so painful to write and test new shortcuts.

"play an hourly chime, oh and by the way remind me to get coffee when i'm on the way home tomorrow" no ux beats that but text/voice.

Shortcuts is getting to a point where I'd prefer to just write actual code instead of fighting with the stupid Scratch-style coding blocks.

That sounds a lot like AppleScript... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript

I wonder how hard it would be for Apple to rebuild Shortcuts around an AppleScript backend to allow power users the ability to edit the scripts directly.
