How to Integrate ChatGPT with Siri on Your iPhone

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a concept that has been thrown around quite a lot in the last few months. With AI chatbots like ChatGPT entering the market, things have only further heated up. However, AI is not new; voice assistants like Siri have been around for quite a long time. In the same vein, though most will agree that Siri does not pack a lot of intelligence in her artificial brain. But what if I told you that you can combine the best of both worlds and actually get ChatGPT to work with Siri on your iPhone? While it sounds impossible, it's easy to do so. Keep reading as we show you how to use ChatGPT with Siri on your iPhone.

Requirements to Get ChatGPT to Work with Siri

To successfully use ChatGPT's services with Siri on your iPhone, you will need the following:

Siri ChatGPT Shortcut: The integration of ChatGPT into Siri works through a handy shortcut that will run on your iPhone. As such, it is necessary to download the Siri shortcut. This shortcut, named Siri Pro, is courtesy of YouTube creator Tim Harris. While the shortcut is named Siri Pro, you can always rename it to whatever you want. To begin, download the Siri Pro Get shortcut, but don't run it yet. Once downloaded, keep reading. ChatGPT API Key: To use ChatGPT's API, you need to create an API key through your OpenAI account. Head to the OpenAI API keys page and log in to your account. Here, you will see the option to Create new secret key. Click on it to generate an API key to use with Siri Pro. Once done, copy the OpenAI API key. Do remember that once you copy the key and close the pop-up box, you cannot copy the same API key again. So keep it somewhere safe. Alternatively, you can open this website on your iPhone to generate and copy the API key to your clipboard. If you do not have an OpenAI account, you can create one for free and then visit the above link.

Setting Up and Using ChatGPT with Siri on Your iPhone

Once you have downloaded the Siri Pro shortcut and copied the API key, it's time to make the Siri shortcut work and see it in action:

Open the Shortcuts app to access the downloaded Siri Pro shortcut. You will find the Siri Pro shortcut here. Tap the ellipsis icon (three dots) to open the shortcut's settings. Note: We renamed the Siri shortcut from Siri Pro to Siri Bro on our iPhone. Under the second dialog box titled Text, you will see the message – Insert ChatGPT API Key here. Paste your previously copied API key here and tap Done at the top right. And you are all done! ChatGPT has now been integrated with Siri on your iPhone. You can invoke the shortcut by either tapping on Siri Pro in the Shortcuts app or saying Hey Siri followed by the shortcut's name Bro Pro or your own renamed title. As you can see below, I asked ChatGPT Siri to plan a two-day trip to London, and it responded accurately.

However, remember the shortcut might not always work depending on the server load on ChatGPT or it being down altogether. Nonetheless, in my experience, it worked most of the time without problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

I followed all the above steps, but the shortcut gives no response. What do I do? As mentioned above, the ability for ChatGPT Siri to run on your iPhone is dependent on the current server load on the AI chatbot itself. If ChatGPT is overloaded, there's a high chance of the shortcut not giving a response. Wait an hour or two and run the shortcut again. Is this method available for Android? As of now, ChatGPT for Siri is only available on iOS. Since this relies on iPhone's shortcut app, we are yet to discover a similar method for Android users. However, rest assured, we will keep you updated if we run into anything. The shortcut keeps telling me to add in your API Key first. What do I do? This error means you haven't properly added your ChatGPT API Key yet. Without this, the shortcut cannot communicate with the server. To add the ChatGPT API key, follow the question below or the section above in the article. How do I get a ChatGPT API Key? As mentioned above, you can get the API key for ChatGPT from OpenAI's official website. But you will need an account with the company to do so. Follow the steps in the article to begin.
