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.

‎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…

@mergesort @Soroush Hey this looks great! FYI having some trouble with the Siri integration, shorty asked for more information but won’t accept more, seems like it’s stuck in a loop or something.

Said
“ask shorty”
“How far is it to bike from state 1 to state 2”
Shorty asked for the cities, and now says stuff like:

@mostlyharmlessz @Soroush Oh dang, that's not good!

assume you weren't sending a link, can I ask what led to that message about sending a link?

I just tried asking two questions, like this.

Ask Shorty: How long does it take to bike from Ohio to Florida?
[Got a correct response]

Ask Shorty: How long would it take if we added a stop in Texas?
[Got a response that knew we were going from Ohio to Texas to Florida]

Is this what your flow was like or were your questions phrased in another manner?

@mergesort @Soroush Is there a way to see the chat log? I asked a few things but it’s tough to know what went to siri and what got funneled to shortcut. But I asked how long does it take to bike from Chicago IL to Arkansas, it said I need to know the cities, and then it wouldn’t accept additional information. Now whenever I ask anything it just gives that link error 🤔
@mergesort @Soroush Ok got it unstuck by running the shortcut manually, not sure what happened

@mostlyharmlessz @Soroush There isn't currently a way to do that, but that's a great idea. I'm planning on creating a new chat for Siri & Shortcuts, but I’ll see if I can find a way to split that out into two separate conversations (one for Siri and one for Shortcuts).

I’m debugging the link error and I'll follow up privately to ensure that we don't post any private data publicly.

@mergesort @Soroush Sounds good, thanks for looking! Can’t believe Apple hasn’t integrated an LLM into Siri themselves
@mostlyharmlessz @Soroush Hey Cam, just wanted to let you know that I shipped this feature today in version 1.2. Thank you for the suggestion! 😄 https://indieapps.space/@redpandaclub/110160520682588706

Attached: 1 image Happy (and Good) Friday! We spent the day doing a little work and released a new feature, a special conversation for all of your Siri & Shortcuts requests. This was the most requested feature, people wanted a separate conversation they could reference for all of the Short Circuit requests they make with iOS integrations, and I'm happy to say we delivered just that. Version 1.2 is rolling out and available everywhere you find your favorite apps, the App Store. 📱 https://shortcircuit.chat.app

@mergesort @Soroush Ah that’s awesome thanks! I was driving around the other day asking shorty what the landmarks around me were 😂 But it has been anxiety inducing to read the full screen before the text disappears, so will be helpful for sure.
@mostlyharmlessz @Soroush No more anxiety, ever! (This is not a medical statement, only a software-related statement.)
