This Alfred workflow provides comprehensive integration with OpenAI's Chat API, enabling users to interact with GPT models for text generation, image manipulation, and speech processing directly from their macOS environment. It targets power users and developers seeking to streamline AI-powered tasks through a familiar interface, offering benefits like enhanced productivity and seamless AI integration into daily workflows.

How It Works

The workflow leverages Alfred's extensibility to trigger various OpenAI API calls. It supports interaction via Alfred's command line, selected text, and a locally hosted web UI. Key features include text generation, image generation/editing/understanding (via DALL-E and vision models), and speech-to-text/text-to-speech capabilities using OpenAI's Whisper and TTS models. The local web UI enhances user experience by providing a visual interface for these AI functions.
