This project provides a set of Apple Shortcuts that integrate the ChatGPT API with Siri, transforming the native assistant into an intelligent conversational AI. It targets iPhone, iPad, and Mac users seeking to leverage advanced language models for everyday tasks, offering continuous conversations and chat history saving.

How It Works

The solution utilizes Apple's Shortcuts app to create a user-friendly interface for interacting with the OpenAI API. Users can trigger the shortcut via Siri, providing voice input that is then sent to the ChatGPT API (supporting GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4). Responses are received and spoken back through Siri. Key features include maintaining conversation context for follow-up questions, initiating new chats, and saving conversation logs to iCloud Drive for persistent record-keeping.
