I believe this capability exists in other smart speakers, and even in iPhone’s Siri (to an extent).
I have a “Good Morning” scene setup in HomeKit where it turns on a few lights and starts playback of a radio channel on the HomePod, when I say “Hey Siri, good morning!”.
I would like the HomePod to tell me today’s weather as well.
How can I accomplish this?
Siri knows who you are and where you live based on an contact card in your Contacts application that you keep up to date for yourself.
Open the Contacts application on your iPhone. Add yourself as a contact. In the address section add an address and set the type to home. Save the contact information.
Open the Settings application a go to General -> Siri. In that settings page there's a field that says My Info -- click on that field and select your contact entry from your Contacts application.
Now when you ask Siri to find a route home for you, it will use the home address saved in the contact that you said was you.
You can add other places to this contact card and Siri will recognize them like work. You can also set up relationships in this card. For example: if you create a contact card for your spouse, you can in your contact card link to this other card as a relationship with type spouse or wife or husband. Now when you Siri to "Call my spouse" it will use this relationship in your contact card to determine who your "spouse" is and what numbers are available to be called.
Create a contact entry for your gym with phone number, website, and address. You can put the name of the gym in the company field and then you can create a nickname that just says "Gym"... problem is that Gym and Jim sound alike.
What I now tried was setting up a new address to my person vCard with a custom tag. I have gym now as a customer address on my card and why I say "Get to directions to gym" it worked.
With having the gym as a separate contact entry, does it work when you say the Gym's name?

You can surely do it with the Shortcuts app. It's available on iOS and every shortcut you create will be synchronised with your other Apple products on the same iCloud account.
It works well with HomeKit, the default weather app and the Apple Music radio stations. You can trigger a shortcut with Siri, and you should check out the user guide for more infos.
