This new ChatGPT iPhone shortcut is a game-changer
OpenAI's ChatGPT has transformed the way we interact with our devices. Whether it's getting quick answers or verifying code accuracy, the technology has made it possible to accelerate several processes.
While Apple device owners can download MacGPT or Petey, there are still other ways to use OpenAI's artificial intelligence language model.
S-GPT Shortcuts
S-GPT is one such shortcut that connects ChatGPT with native features of Apple's operating systems. It is free for everyone to use but requires an OpenAI account with a pay-as-you-go billing plan to use the company's developer API, which has a cost.
With S-GPT, users can use both the existing ChatGPT 3.5 model and 4 API. And, the cost of these API calls is incredibly low as the new model used by the ChatGPT API is very cost-efficient. Vittici explains that the actual cost for the GPT 3.5 model is $0.002/1K tokens.
How to Use S-GPT
To start using this iPhone ChatGPT shortcut, users need to install it here and provide their API key. Once installed, this shortcut allows you to ask ChatGPT questions from an input box on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The answers are returned by ChatGPT and displayed in an alert on your devices.
What sets this ChatGPT iPhone shortcut apart?
Here are some examples:
- Safari share sheet. If you share a webpage with S-GPT, it'll try to summarize it for you.
- Clipboard. If you ask S-GPT to do anything with text in the clipboard, ChatGPT will process the contents of your system clipboard like checking for grammar mistakes or summarizing the content.
- Reminders and Calendar. With the help of ChatGPT, S-GPT can look at your upcoming schedule and tell you which days are too busy.
- Live Text. You can use S-GPT to summarize text from any image in your photo library via Apple's Live Text technology.
- Safari and URLs. If ChatGPT returns web URLs as part of its responses, S-GPT will offer you the ability to open those links – even multiple at once – in Safari as tabs.
- Music. S-GPT can make a playlist in Apple's Music app for any list of songs returned by ChatGPT.
