Thank you so much! Yes, that would be another way, but with limitations - available only in the Messages app. And everything would be handled on the server-side.
It depends on what you need ChatGPT to do. If you want to just have conversations with it, yes, the official app would be enough. But if you want to give it some task or goal to accomplish, it can't do that. Moreover, it's not directly integrated into the Apple ecosystem, meaning that you will still need to create a separate shortcut that uses their shortcut actions to manage your conversations. And what about the real-time web capabilities? ChatGPT iOS app doesn't have yet. Again, it depends on what you want to accomplish.
No, it only sends the data you allow it to, hence your input, or the selected text from an app. Nothing is sent without your permission. I gladly invite you to run it either in Restricted or Debug Mode to have a fully transparent overview of what actions it does.
You shouldn't have to pause the image just to get a basic understanding of what it's showing. If you're interested, yeah, sure, hover and pause to read more, but you can't even tell what it's about at the current speed.
Sure. Say you wrote down some ideas in Apple Notes and you want to continue brainstorming or to extract some action items - select the text, activate COPILOT and ask it to do just that. Or, you are viewing a very long article in Safari, but you don't have enough time to read it - tap Share, activate the shortcut and just ask COPILOT to summarize it or to extract the information you need, as the webpage will be automatically passed to it - no need for copy-pasting anything. And the best one that I use most frequently, is the Google search and web browsing, as I don't need to do all these steps any more - open Safari, type the text, look over the search results and browse through webpages to find what I need. I just ask COPILOT for that information and it will do all of that for me. I just watch its progress and wait for the final result.
Yes, and I tried it as well. Honestly, I didn't like the way it was built around keywords as triggers for the actions I wanted to make. I wanted more flexibility, to be able to ask naturally what I want. But he did a very nice work, I took it as an inspiration.
That open-source shortcut seems like a simple chat bot to have conversations with. I wanted COPILOT to be something more than that, but still to be able to use it for simple questions. It actually works like an AI agent so I would give it my goal, or a task, and using the tools provided, it will run autonomously until it completes it. After that, I can still ask follow-up questions or provide feedback, so it will continue to run until I receive a convenient answer. Integrating OpenAI's function-calling feature into an Apple Shortcut is something that I have never seen elsewhere. And just that leads to limitless possibilities of integrations and capabilities. As I said from the beginning, it was such a crazy idea, but I loved it and put all my effort into it. :)
