Ai_task.generate_data does not return an output variable to iOS Shortcuts

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple

i’m using Home Assistant with the iOS Shortcuts integration and the action
ai_task.generate_data.

The AI task runs successfully, but in iOS Shortcuts there is no output/result available that can be used in a following action.

Details:

  • I call ai_task.generate_data with valid JSON (task_name, entity_id, instructions)
  • The task executes without errors
  • In a subsequent step (e.g. Set Variable to…), there is no “Result of …” option available
  • Even after running the shortcut, only the default system variables appear (Shortcut Input, Date, etc.)

My question:
Is it expected behavior that ai_task.generate_data does not expose its generated result to iOS Shortcuts?
Or is there a supported way to retrieve the AI-generated output as a variable?

If not, is this a known limitation of the current Home Assistant iOS integration?
