![]() OpenAI has given Android users the slightly inevitable “coming soon” promise, but for now those running Google's mobile operating must use ChatGPT as a web app. If there's one thing still missing from ChatGPT's push on to mobile devices, it's that the AI chatbot is currently only ready to party with Apple devices. ChatGPT Release for Android Promised Soon This means power users of ChatGPT won't have to manually trawl through their request history to find that one key fact they need to bring to the meeting, it'll be neatly filed away somewhere instead. By using Shortcuts, you can now tell ChatGPT to automatically share or save the responses it generates to other apps – Notes or Docs, for example. While you can't tell Siri to draw on ChatGPT's AI expertise when answering questions – yet – you can program custom prompts that automate what the bot does with the info you ask it for. ![]() However, the real power here lies in the new possibilities for automating processes between ChatGPT and other apps. At its most basic level, this means you can now ask Siri to open the AI tool for you, just like you can with all your other favorite apps. (A new tool, App Shortcuts Preview, will allow developers to test phrases that they think users might try with Siri to launch their app.) This feature won’t yet work on Apple Watch, though.Īpp Shortcuts will now work on HomePod, however, if the associated app is installed on a companion iOS or iPadOS device.The other headline additions to the ChatGPT app are support for Siri and Shortcuts. Even if the exact wording isn’t used, Siri will be able to understand the phrase as the Shortcut’s trigger, thanks to on-device machine learning that will allow similar phrases to also work. Where before, users would have to speak the exact phrase designated as the Shortcut’s trigger phrase, now they can speak more naturally. ![]() Plus, Apple made some subtle changes to Siri to make it easier to use spoken commands to trigger App Shortcuts. These thumbnails appeared in green, orange and red, for “Assigned,” “Flagged,” and “Scheduled” reminders, respectively. On its iOS 17 preview site, Apple shows how its Photos app appears in Spotlight - with image thumbnails that point to specific albums, including “Recent,” “Favorites,” and “One year ago.” In a demo for developers, meanwhile, Apple showed the Reminders app with image thumbnails for specific entities in the app. Developers can adopt colors that are associated with their app that will appear when their app is displayed in Spotlight on the Shortcuts app, plus they can use a thumbnail image for each entity instance. When searching for an app in Spotlight search, users will also be able to see common actions associated with that app, when Shortcuts are available. Apple told developers the new design will allow users to find their Shortcuts more easily, and it’s hard not to agree, based on this screenshot. Previously, a user’s shortcuts were displayed as small, colorful squares, but not organized by app as shown here. Now Apple is hoping to make Shortcuts even more appealing to the everyday user in iOS 17 with a new design that now organizes your Shortcuts in featured rows so you can get started using them with minimal extra steps.įor example, in a photo of the updated Shortcuts app shared with TechCrunch by a WWDC developer attendee, you can see colorful rows featuring Shortcuts for Apple’s Books, Camera, Clock, and Files apps. However, in recent years the app has been more widely adopted by those who wanted to create custom app icons to match their new iPhone Home Screen themes and widgets. The complexities involved with building automations have sometimes put its more advanced functions outside the reach of mainstream users. The Shortcuts app has typically had a small but devoted following. Plus, the Automation setup process in the Shortcuts app has been redesigned to be easier to use, Apple told developers at its Worldwide Developer Conference. The app, which allows power users to create automations for their favorite apps, will receive an updated user interface, making it easier to find Shortcuts as well as the actions a given app can perform - something that’s known as App Intents. ![]() Apple is making its Shortcuts app simpler to use with iOS 17. ![]()
