How to Use ChatGPT with Siri on iPhone
1. Create API Key in OpenAI.
First and foremost, you'll need to create an API key to help Siri Shortcut connect with ChatGPT. To generate an API key, head over to this link and hit the "create new secret key" button. Once that's done, make sure to store your shiny new API key in a safe place for use in the next step of this tutorial.
2. Create a new Shortcut
To get started, you'll need to create a new shortcut within the Shortcuts app. Simply open the app and tap the "Create Shortcut" button to begin. From there, you can add a new action by selecting the "Add Action" button and searching for the "Ask for Input" action. This action will be the place to receive questions and send them to the OpenAI API.
3. Get Contents with API Key
According to the OpenAI API instructions, you can find more information by following this link. To connect with ChatGPT, we'll need to use the command structure provided below, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from step one.
In the Shortcuts app, we have an action that can replace the need for using curl to get content for our shortcut. To find it, simply search for "Get Contents of URL" and use the URL "https://api.openai.com/v1/completions".
Next up, within the Get Contents of URL action, we'll declare the Method as POST and include two headers as follows (note the space between "Bearer" and your API key).
Content-Type | application/json |
Authorization | Bearer YOUR_API_KEY |
Next up, within the Request Body section, click "Add new field" and select "Text". Then, enter the two following of API Code one after the other. It's important to note that in the "prompt" section, we need to click "Provided Input" to connect with the first part of the shortcut.
model | text-davinci-003 |
prompt | Provided Input |
Within the Request Body section, click "Add new field" and select "Number". Then, we'll declare the Temperature and max_tokens. The Temperature represents the accuracy of the answer from ChatGPT and is typically set to 1 by default. The max_tokens, on the other hand, determines the length of the answer generated by ChatGPT. With a max_tokens value of 2048, your answer could contain up to 1500 words!
temperature | 1 |
max_tokens | 1000 |
We've conquered the toughest challenge of connecting to the ChatGPT API, and now we can dive into the exciting task of refining the content we receive from the ChatGPT API code.
4. Extract the content from ChatGPT
The next step is to filter the answers from ChatGPT through the API Key. Typically, the answer is located between the "choices" and "text" sections. Therefore, we use two actions in Shortcut: "Get Dictionary from Input" to retrieve the content from the API Code, and "Get Dictionary Value" to extract the content from the "choices" section. Then, we use the same action to retrieve the content from the "text" section. To complete this step, you just need to create actions similar to the ones shown in the image below.
The last step is not mandatory, but you can add a "Show Result" action to receive the result in the Shortcuts App or to identify errors in the shortcut creation process. At this point, save your shortcut under any name you like. In this guide, we choose the name "ChatPro". And get ready to call your shortcut in the next step.
5. Use Siri to run ChatGPT Shortcuts.
Using ChatGPT with Siri is quite simple. All you need to do is say "Hey Siri" followed by the name of your Shortcut, in this guide it's "Hey Siri, ChatPro". The Shortcut will automatically run and you can ask any question you want.
The clear and concise tone of Siri's voice combined with the intelligence of ChatGPT can help you complete your tasks quickly and efficiently. Whether you're on your iPhone, using Siri Shortcut to access ChatGPT is a breeze.
