Yes, that is my main goal, to expand its functionality over time the same way as ChatGPT did with plugins.

For me, to be honest, Apple Shortcuts is an undiscovered treasure. :)

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.

Ok, got it, thank you for the feedback!

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 dir

Ok, thank you for bringing that up! Will investigate.

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 o

Agreed, and just increased the interval, actually doubled it.

Only one type of request will be sent to me, to my licensing server, which validates the license key received after purchase to provide the Premium set of shortcuts or the latest version. So when installing COPILOT or checking for updates,

Oh, just hover over the carusel and it will pause, for reading.

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

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

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 m

I know. I am working on it! Thank you!

Sure, let me explain. First of all, Apple Shortcuts is secure by design due to the way Apple built it. All the actions from a shortcut, any shortcut, are visible to the user. That is why I said the app is open-source. Everything it does is

Thank you for the advice, gnicholas! And no, I have absolutely no intention to be in MS's way with their Copilot. If necessary, I will do a rebranding as soon as possible.

by zdaniel16 3y ago
Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, using Apple Shortcuts exclusively brings a lot of extra (and maybe unnecessary) steps and walls to break through. I knew that from the beginning, but I had to sacrifice convenience to bring my idea t

I really understand that and I apologize for the friction created. This is mainly due to Lemon Squeezy, as I couldn't include there just the link to the installation shortcut. It required an actual file, but that way I also added the i

Honestly, I am not sure yet, but I will do what is right to do in that case.

Very good question, thank you for asking! :) I felt like there was no better name for it, being like a real companion or copilot in every app I use. So I wanted the name to actually reflect that.
