A new advanced shortcut called S-GPT will let you integrate ChatGPT into the native system features of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. The conversational shortcut, created by Federico Viticci, is free for everyone. However, an OpenAI pay-as-you-go billing plan is required. Viticci hopes this new shortcut will simplify ChatGPT integration.
Seamless integration with Apple OS
S-GPT, short for Shortcuts-GPT, utilizes OpenAI’s developer API at a small expense. This is why you need access to PAYG billing. The shortcut was built with the latest ChatGPT API but can be used with the existing ChatGPT 3.5 model and ChatGPT 4 if you have access.
From the screenshots posted by Viticci, the integration is pretty good, resembling normal iPhone apps on mobile and popping up like a Siri notification almost. It only supports text, though the developer assures users that “there are no limits in terms of question length”.
S-GPT supports conversational mode, allowing users to ask questions and follow-ups in one session. It retains the context of previous conversations, displaying them as a single transcript.
Revolutionizing ChatGPT integration with S-GPT
Viticci explains that the drive to create this innovative shortcut was to make the integration more than just getting answers to trivia questions or writing mediocre poems. The idea was also fueled by the integration ChatGPT has with Windows and Viticci’s reluctant admission that the same probably won’t ever be true on Apple Platforms.
The outcome of this hard work is undoubtedly promising. We see on the page how S-GPT is able to answer a command to make a playlist with specific artists. From the screenshots posted by Viticci, the integration resembles normal iPhone apps and appears like a Siri notification. The developer assures that there are no limits in terms of question length, but it only supports text. Then, when you go to the Music App, the playlist is waiting for you.
This is only a brief overview of what S-GPT can do, and it’s safe to say we’re incredibly impressed. Viticci compares S-GPT to Siri, highlighting Siri’s shortcomings. This comparison reveals Apple’s lag in the AI race. On the other hand, Apple has yet to engage with ChatGPT or develop a rival like Google Bard. As a result, developers like Viticci are stepping up to meet user demands.
