Shortcut uses OpenAI public API, so you can communicate with text or voice using Siri. Now our Siri has finally become intelligent and can talk to us fluently! And all this can be done with just a Shortcut and an API key.
Before starting the configuration, make sure that you have completed all the items listed below.
- Ensure that the network can access the domain name https://api.openai.com.
- Ensure that there is enough balance in the API account: https://platform.openai.com/account/usage.
- Use Siri to start the shortcut: open Settings -> Siri & Search -> Siri Responses -> Check “Always Show Speech” to see if recognition is accurate. Ensure that Siri’s language setting matches the language you are using.
- For correct work continuous conversations, you need to turn on the “Settings” -> Apple ID -> iCloud -> iCloud Drive function to use the save to TXT file function.

Start the “Shortcut” with Siri. Just say “Hey, Siri, ChatGPT”, and then you can start chatting. Now you have a very smart Siri 😆 Enjoy!
If you don’t like the name, you can rename the shortcut, and then chat with Siri by saying “Hey, Siri, xxx” (xxx is the new name you chose). It’s better not to add special symbols to the name, as it’s hard to read them 😂. If Siri cannot match the shortcut name, it won’t work!
Of course, you can run the ChatGPT shortcut directly without Siri: you just need to open the Shortcuts app and run ChatGPT. At this time, it is used as a dialog box, and it will not be read out. You can add it to your Home Screen for quick access. Check how to do it in my video tutorial.
This Shortcut works on iPhone, iPad, and macOS. It supports continuous conversations, quit chat, and new chat. Use it this way:
- The default is to support continuous dialogue, which can record context and discuss issues continuously.
- If you want to start a new chat, say “New chat” when it’s your turn, and Siri will begin a new chat, which means that the previous context and conversation will be lost.
- If you want to quit ChatGPT to use the system’s Siri, you can say “Quit chat” on your turn. You can also close Siri directly and then re-open it, but it is more natural to provide the command to exit.
Head to platform.openai.com and log into your OpenAI account, then tap the three lines icon, top right. Tap your profile at the bottom of the Settings Menu, then tap View API keys.
Tap Create new secret key, then tap the copy icon and tap OK to close the window.
Open the ChatGPT shortcut page and tap Set Up Shortcut.
Paste your API key in place of “ADD API KEY HERE”.
The GPT-3.5 model is selected by default. If your account has access to GPT-4, you can choose the “last item.”
Tap the ChatGPT shortcut again to run it, and ask a question. A privacy pop-up will appear, asking you to allow ChatGPT to send a text to the OpenAI API. It is done to run your prompt through ChatGPT. Tap Allow and start chatting.
Open the “Shortcuts” app, find the downloaded “ChatGPT” shortcut, press and hold to select “Edit” and paste the above API key into the text box below.
