The Fastest Way to Use ChatGPT (MacOS)

Have you ever wondered to ask ChatGPT without opening your browser but just in 2 clicks? If so, then this guide is exactly what you need.

What we need for this configuration:

• Alfred (paid soft)

• OpenAI API key (paid)“ChatGPT is a fascinating technology that has the potential to transform the way we communicate with machines.” ~Andrew Ng, Founder ofDeepLearning.ai

• MacOS

• 10 minutes

As a result, we will get a super productive solution that will save hundreds of hours of your happy life.

Step 1. Get OpenAI API key

• Open OpenAI Platform

• Click "Create new secret key"

• Save your key

Step 2. Alfred

To minimize the time we open ChatGPT, we will use Alfred. Alfred — a MacOS app that replaces plain Spotlight with a multi-functional command line which also allows you to open ChatGPT (last update!). This is a paid feature (but it's more than worth it).

1. Buy and install Alfred (we need Alfred 5.5)

2. Open Alfred setting and configure the hotkey setting (I use Cmd+Space)

3. Download the ChatGPT workflow

4. Open the workflow and click "Configure Workflow..."

5. Fill "OpenAI API Key" with key generated on the previous step

6. Adjust other settings as you want (model, keyword, etc)

7. Done!

Step 3. Enjoy the result

1. Now we can open Alfred command line any time we want (I use Cmd+Space)

2. Type the keyword for ChatGPT (I use cg)

3. Ask something smart 😄

   

   

   There may be a better way, but I haven't found one. If you know another approach, be sure to share, I would appreciate <3
