AskGPT is "Siri to AskGPT to Siri", so you can interact with ChatGPT from your iPhone, by voice and get responses to question you asked spoken to you by Siri. This is handy when driving for example, just like Siri can be but with AI power.

AskGPT is not there to replace ChatGPT own app but it was released before ChatGPT became available and has some cool features, one of them is you can attach to the iOS Action button for immediate availability, which can't be done with a regular app as quickly to start it. On older iPhone than iPhone with Action buttons you can also make it one tap with Assistive touch.

AskGPT uses Apple Shortcuts on the device and setip.io for backend processing.

How to use AskGPT

Get from iCloud. This will let the Shortcut App configure itself for AskGPT. After you launch make sure you have the latest version by taping on Update from the AskGPT menu.

Overview

AskGPT integrates the most powerful artificial intelligence assistant from the openai organization into your iOS device so you can ask any question by voice through Siri and immediately get actionable answers on the screen that you can save for later use or immediately share with any friend, family or even an other app.

ChatGPT, that AskGPT let's you interact with, by voice, is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with the chatbot. The language model can answer questions and assist you with tasks like composing emails, essays, and code.

Because AskGPT is designed an iOS Shortcut, it is open for your scrutiny, and it does not contain any code executing on your device that you are not able to change yourself. This also allows you to customize pretty much anything unlike a regular iOS app you would be able to install from the App Store only.

Shortcuts are simple files that can be downloaded from Apple iCloud and loaded just like regular apps, but no need for the app store and they benefit from Apple's secure environment just like regular apps.

What questions can I ask?

Anything, pretty much anything, from "Teach me how to write an iOS Shortcut!" to "Write me a poem about fish!" to "Write me a short paper on Picasso!" and your imagination is the limit, be amazed. The model used is: text-davinci-003, more models will be available in the future.

It is not capable of a conversation yet but will answer any one's question.

Here is an example:

You asked: 

Write me a short essay on Picasso

Chat GPT response:

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He is best known for co-founding the Cubist movement and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.

Picasso's work is often categorized into periods. His early work was often in the style of Realism, while his later work was often more abstract. He also experimented with a variety of materials and techniques, including collage, assemblage, and sculpture. He was also a prolific printmaker, producing over 2,000 prints throughout his career.

Picasso's work is characterized by its boldness and experimentation. He was not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in art. He was also a master of color and composition, often using bright colors and bold lines to create dynamic and powerful images.

Picasso's influence on modern art is undeniable. He was a pioneer in the development of Cubism, a movement that changed the way we look at art. He also inspired many other artists, including Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, and Jackson Pollock.

Picasso's legacy is one of innovation and creativity. He was a master of his craft and a true innovator. His work continues to inspire and influence artists today.
