How to Use ChatGPT with Siri on iPhone

In Short
  • Download the ChatGPT app on your iPhone and sign in/sign up for an account.
  • Create a custom shortcut to start a new conversation with the ChatGPT app.

Artificial Intelligence is a concept that has been thrown around for more than a year now. With AI chatbots like ChatGPT entering the market, things have only further heated up. In the same vein though, most will agree that Siri, Apple’s own assistant, does not pack a lot of intelligence in her artificial brain. But what if I told you that you can combine the best of both worlds and actually get ChatGPT to work with Siri on your iPhone? Keep reading as we show you how to use ChatGPT with Siri on your iPhone.

The process itself to use ChatGPT with your iPhone’s Siri voice assistant is simple. However, it does have certain requirements and links you need so make sure you have them all before you proceed.

Requirements to Get ChatGPT to Work with Siri

1. ChatGPT App

Previously, you could integrate ChatGPT into Siri using a handy shortcut like Siri Pro or Siri GPT. Ever since ChatGPT launched its own app and chat assistant, the previous integration is not possible now. Interestingly, you can utilize that app to use ChatGPT on an iPhone. For this, you must download OpenAI’s ChatGPT app from the App Store. Once downloaded, keep reading.

2. Create a custom Shortcut

To successfully use ChatGPT’s services with Siri on your iPhone, you must create a Shortcut to start a new conversation with that ChatGPT app. Whenever you run that shortcut using Siri, it will instantly start a new conversation with the ChatGPT app you can get answers to all your queries in no time. We’ve mentioned everything in detail below.

How to Set up and Use ChatGPT with Siri on Your iPhone

Once you have downloaded the ChatGPT app, it’s time to create a custom Shortcut and see it in action:

  • First and foremost, you must sign in or sign up for a ChatGPT account. You don’t have to go for a Premium version, the Free plan is good to go.
  • Now, open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and tap on the “+” icon from the top-right corner.
  • By default, the shortcut would be named something like “New Shortcut”. You can tap on the small down arrow icon to rename the shortcut. We’ve renamed it to Smarter Siri.

  • Now, tap on Add Action and type ChatGPT in the Search bar at the top.
  • Here, choose “Start voice conversations with ChatGPT” and tap on Done.
  • And you are all done! ChatGPT has now been integrated with Siri on your iPhone. You can invoke the shortcut by either tapping on it in the Shortcuts app or saying Hey Siri followed by the shortcut’s name.

Get the Shortcut

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of creating the Shortcut, tap on this iCloud link to get the Shortcut in a jiffy.

  • Not to forget, you can always add the Shortcut to the Action Button or the Back Tap gesture on your iPhone. As you can see below, I asked ChatGPT Siri to plan a two-day trip to London, and it responded accurately.

However, remember the shortcut might take a little time to connect to the ChatGPT’s server load or it may be down altogether. However, in my experience, it worked most of the time without problems.

I followed all the above steps but the shortcut says connecting all the time. What do I do?

As mentioned above, the ability for ChatGPT Siri to run on your iPhone is dependent on the current server load on the AI chatbot itself. If ChatGPT itself is overloaded, there’s a high chance of the shortcut not giving a response. Wait for some time and run the shortcut again.

Is this method available for Android?

There is no option available on Android to use ChatGPT with Google Assistant, the Android counterpart of Siri as of now.

Does the ChatGPT API Key method still work?

Unfortunately, you can’t use ChatGPT on an iPhone by adding the ChatGPT API key in a Siri shortcut. Earlier, this method works just fine but now it’s no longer supported.
