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

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For my impatience I think :)

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

Text selection and editing on iOS is broken in general. Trying to replace just a part of a URL in the Safari address bar with the clipboard contents is nearly impossible, even if you know that long pressing space moves the cursor.

As an iPhone user, I really don't understand Apple sometimes. I want to love their work, then dumb things like this happen. There's other pet peeves I have, but overall, I don't see myself ever going back to Android. You can probably say the same of any other software company.

I had some feedback, then I read this. Yep, it’s neat!

Hey. If you want to take it further, add the feature no one asked for. That’s the name of the game.

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.

I’m hoping the Apple version would do things like “make me a playlist of new artists based on songs I use to work out” or “play songs from my library that I like but haven’t heard in the past 6 months”

Apple doesn’t farm all its GenAI out to OpenAI, not even all its server-side stuff. So, yes.

To be honest, this method appears more complicated and has more friction than my already tricky approach. By the way, it’s better in some aspects because it can perform a lot more functions than text actions.
