This Apple Shortcut enables users to send highlighted text from any app to ChatGPT, augmenting it with custom prompts for tasks like revision or summarization. It's designed for iPhone, iPad, and macOS users seeking a streamlined workflow for interacting with AI models.

How It Works

The shortcut leverages the Shortcuts app to capture selected text via the share sheet. It then concatenates this text with a user-selected or custom prompt before sending it to the OpenAI API. Responses are automatically copied to the clipboard, facilitating immediate use.
