Use ChatGPT with Apple Shortcuts

This project was born from my passion for every Apple product and the entire ecosystem, along with the power of ChatGPT. I was tired of copy-pasting and switching between apps on my Mac or iPhone, so I had this crazy idea to bring ChatGPT into every app that I use. This was possible only with the Apple Shortcuts app. Very few people know about its power and potential, so I took this chance and built COPILOT. https://meetcopilot.app But I also loved the idea of AI agents using various tools so much that I leveraged OpenAI's function-calling feature to accomplish that. Now, no matter…

Use ChatGPT with Apple Shortcuts launched on September 27, 2023 with 54 votes, #1,292 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

COPILOT integrates ChatGPT into Apple's Shortcuts app, allowing users to access AI assistance without switching between applications on Mac and iPhone. The tool passes selected text or Safari web pages directly to ChatGPT and uses OpenAI's function-calling feature to enable AI agents to autonomously complete tasks across apps. Designed for Apple ecosystem users, it eliminates the need for copy-pasting and streamlines workflow by bringing AI capabilities into every application.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
