How to use ChatGPT within Siri

1. Download the SiriGPT shortcut

After completing the purchase, you will be automatically redirected to the download page for the shortcut and tap Add Shortcut.

2. Get your OpenAI API Keys

Head to platform.openai.com and log into your OpenAI account, then tap the three lines icon, top right. Tap your profile at the bottom of the Settings Menu, then tap View API keys.

3. Copy your secret API key

Tap Create new secret key, then tap the copy icon and tap OK to close the window.

4. Add your API into the SiriGPT shortcut

Open the Shortcuts app, then find the SiriGPT shortcut and tap the three dots to edit the shortcut. Paste your API key in place of "ADD API KEY HERE".

5. Enable Dictation

Scroll down the shortcut flow chart until you see Enable Dictation underneath a red warning flag (if you don't see it, you may already have Dictation enabled so skip to step 6). Tap Enable Dictation, then toggle Enable Dictation on and tap Enable Dictation again.

6. Allow SiriGPT Speech Recognition access

Go back to the Shortcuts menu and tap SiriGPT. A Privacy warning will pop up asking you to allow the shortcut access to Speech Recognition. This is so you can ask ChatGPT questions vocally. Tap Allow.

7. Allow SiriGPT to use your OpenAI API

Tap the SiriGPT shortcut again to run it, and ask a question. A Privacy pop-up will appear asking you to allow SiriGPT to send text to the OpenAI API. This is to run your prompt through ChatGPT. Tap Always Allow or Allow Once (the latter will mean you need to do this every time).

8. Finish the interaction

You'll now get an answer. Tap Done, then either tap Ask Again if you want to ask something else. When you're finished, tap Done. You can now use the shortcut through the Shortcuts app, but we're going to show you a better way to use it.

9. Open the Back Tap menu

We're now going to assign SiriGPT to back tap. You can simply ask Siri to "run SiriGPT", but Back Tap is a bit slicker. Open Settings and tap Accessibility. Tap Touch and then tap Back Tap.
