WYDM exactly by iOS shortcut? I use a Mac but only an android phone. Do you mean for mobile usage?

Oh yeah, agreed. It's not good for super specific stuff like that. But more like, I write a weird loop and ask if there is a more idiomatic way to do the above. Or I just describe what I want to do and say, "list three options for accomplishing that". It's great for "feature discovery" essentially. I find it complementary to copilot.




iOS shortcuts is basically a built in IFTTT service but with deep integration into apple products. For an example of chapt gpt3 integrating w/ it, check out this cool build. https://matemarschalko.medium.com/chatgpt-in-an-ios-shortcut...


Set this up on my phone without any of the home automation stuff just to have an alternative to Siri. Its pretty good, I wish I could have a back and forth conversation with it but I don't think I can do that inside of a Siri shortcut.


Wow, that's super cool. Thanks for the link.
