Thanks for sharing! What use-case did you have in mind when building it?

For this initial version, I wanted to make general ChatGPT more accessible when I’m on the go, e.g. commuting home from work and needing inspiration for what to make for dinner.

Do you have any ideas for specific use cases in mind?

Not really. I like text as a platform because the barrier of entry is so low (literally every phone) and because it’s so constrained (fewer opportunities to over-engineer things).

I think an interesting next step here would be connecting your project to some chat gpt plugins, and create something akin to Magic/Magic Plus (tangent: is it still alive?). This way you could have a sort of low-tech AI concierge.
