Tools to do this are and have been available for many months.

The difficulty is in scale. Enabling every smartphone owner to use GenAI, especially using voice commands requires hardware resources several orders of magnitude greater than what OpenAI is currently burning through.

The LLM-powered Siri/Alexa/Google Assistant was a matter of infrastructure investment.

With the recent Apple's announcement, it's only a matter of time with Google and others following through.

In a similar vein, check out Federico Viticci's S-GPT shortcut for ChatGPT integration with a bunch of system features rather than text editing

It handles requests like "I want a playlist with the top 15 songs by the members of boygenius" and turns it into a playlist in Music

The iOS copy/paste/other actions menu is so unintuitive. 4 taps to share?

Did a bunch of these for the Mac back in February, and have since rebuilt many for iOS to work exactly like that: https://taoofmac.com/space/notes/2024/02/22/1900

I have been doing something similar for months. I share the text with an automation shortcut that adds a prompt to it and opens Copilot for me. I just paste the text there manually since it’s not possible to paste with shortcuts. It works great and it’s totally free! I just used it to proofread this reply too.

FYI: Didn't realize your first gif was animated. It doesn't loop. Should probably fix that.

Apple's official support promises strong focus on privacy. Would it offer any benefits over this solution? Or would they be equal from the privacy point of view?

I didn't read the announcements and I don't know the details, if anyone knows more please explain.

Seems non-intuitive to have to select "Share".
