Use with Siri to converse verbally. Say "Hey Siri" to activate Siri and then say "enable GPT" to begin.

You will hear a message stating that "GPT mode is enabled". If this is your first time using the shortcut you can begin speaking to enableGPT right away. If you've used it previously enableGPT will welcome you back and give you a quick recap on what you talked about last time.



Use the shortcut without Siri if you prefer to type and read with enableGPT silently.

To do that, just click on the shortcut instead of activating it with Siri. For convenience you can also long-press the shortcut in the Shortcuts app and add it to your home screen.



After enableGPT responds, feel free to continue the conversation; it is listening.

There is no prompt or anything, just wait for it to finish and then speak to it naturally like you would with a normal person.



When you are done, say "stop" to end the conversation.

You will hear a message stating that "GPT mode has ended". If you want to continue the conversation later, just say "Hey Siri, enable GPT" again and it will pick up where you left off.



All the log files can be found in the "enableGPT" folder in your Notes app

This includes the "prompt" file. Feel free to edit it and make chatGPT follow whatever instructions you like (ie: play a choose-your-own-adventure game with you, talk like a pirate,etc).

You can also delete the "prompt" file to reset the prompt back to the default (default prompt note will be automatically regenerated next time you run the shortcut).

Installation is pretty straightforward. On your iOS device, just have your chatGPT API key ready, and make sure you have a folder called "enableGPT" in your Notes app. Then, download the shortcut and follow the prompts.

open iOS Notes App
   create a new folder called "enableGPT"

Get your openAI chatGPT API key
   LINK: openAI API keys

Download the shortcut to your iOS device
   make sure already you have the
   iOS Shortcuts app installed

you will get 2 prompts from the shortcut
   one requires you to paste your API key
   the other requires you to select the
   "enableGPT" folder in Notes

When you first run this shortuct you will get asked a bunch of times if you want to allow the shortcut to do certain things. Always be careful when running new or untrusted shortcuts.

Assuming you trust the enableGPT shortcut, select the "always allow" option for all of them in order to stop these messages from bothering you again in the future.

These settings should make things a little smoother and easier but are not required. If nothing else, these should just provide some nice quality-of-life improvements to the experience.
