After 10 days of App Store rejections I'm so excited to say, Short Circuit is finally in the App Store! 28 days ago I started built a prototype of Siri powered by ChatGPT, and was immediately drawn to the idea of a premium-feeling iOS, iPad, and Mac app for ChatGPT. This amazing technology deserves a good user experience, and we gave it one.

Partnering with @Soroush to make that happen has been a dream, and I'm so excited to share Short Circuit with you.

‎Short Circuit: AI Chatbot

‎Ask AI anything with Short Circuit. As an AI-powered chatbot, Shorty is here to revolutionize the way we communicate with our devices. Shorty can provide intelligent, sophisticated, and even funny responses to your every question, powered by the latest OpenAI models ChatGPT, and soon GPT-4. But tha…

App Store

We're only getting started too. We already have a true native Mac app in private beta, we're adding GPT-4 support, syncing all your conversations across devices, and so much more.

That's not to undersell the app today, it can already do so much and has been doing so much in our lives. You should try the app to find out for yourself, everyone gets 10 free messages to try it out. If you like the app we'd truly appreciate App Store ratings and reviews, they're the lifeblood of any indie app.

Next week I'll be publishing a post covering a large set of big questions about AI we have to answer as a society, but we've also been using AI as we've been building Short Circuit.

This week Short Circuit helped with meal prep, it made up stories for the little kids in my life, and it even helped build Short Circuit. It helped me write Short Circuit's app description, found good ASO keywords, and it even wrote the in app purchase code for me because I was too lazy to read RevenueCat's docs.

Before we go one last surprise. Our back and forth with app review was about providing users with a lifetime unlock option. Hopefully in the next day or two that will be approved and available in the app, but in the mean time you can purchase a lifetime unlock to use your own OpenAI token on Stripe. https://redpanda.club/short-circuit-lifetime-unlock

We truly hope you love Short Circuit, as much as you'll surely love our lil mascot Shorty. If you like 'em share 'em with your friends. (Hint, hint, the boost button. 🐘)
