In an era where information overflows yet time remains scarce, Notefy aims to be an essential tool for efficient data management and processing. This shortcut integrates the intelligent conversation handling of ChatGPT with the precise audio transcription capabilities of Whisper. Notefy offers a new way to keep track of and process information amidst the deluge of meetings, lectures, and daily conversations. It skillfully converts spoken and written words into concise, organised summaries, transcending traditional note-taking methods. Notefy represents a transformative approach to processing and retaining information, serving a diverse range of users from professionals to students.

Integrating Notefy with Siri is a straightforward process, but it does require meeting specific prerequisites and establishing certain links to ensure smooth functionality.

To start, ensure you have the Apple Shortcuts app installed. Next, download the Notefy Shortcut. You're welcome to rename the shortcut to a title that suits you. Before you begin using it, though, make sure you continue reading.

Please make sure to complete the following tasks when transitioning to the new version: Decode the API keys that were previously stored in an encrypted format in the Data Jar. To simplify this process, use the DecodeMe shortcut. Remember to complete this for each key of OpenAI's and ElevenLabs.

To utilise ChatGPT's services with Siri, it is essential to obtain an OpenAI API key. To acquire this key, you need to generate a new secret key from your existing OpenAI account. If you don't have an OpenAI account yet, you can easily sign up for one by visiting the OpenAI signup page here. This secret key plays a crucial role in verifying your authentication. Here are the steps on how to do it:

• Log in to your OpenAI account.
• Search for the ‘Create new secret key’ option and click on it.

Once you obtain the API Key, incorporating ChatGPT's services with Siri is straightforward. It's important to remember, that after making a copy of the key and closing the pop-up, you won't have access to it again. Therefore, store the key securely in a safe location.

After downloading the shortcut and copying your API key, follow these steps to put it to use:

• Begin by opening the Shortcuts app and finding the downloaded Notefy shortcut.

• Next, proceed with the configuration process. Carefully follow each step to tailor the shortcut according to your unique preferences. After completing these steps, the shortcut will be ready for immediate use.

Note on API Key Storage Options: You have the flexibility to store your OpenAI API key in two ways. Firstly, you can directly embed it within the Notefy shortcut for convenience. Alternatively, you may opt to use the Data Jar app to store the API key. If you decide on the latter, ensure that you have the Data Jar app installed. If not, or if you prefer a simpler approach, storing the API key directly in the shortcut remains a viable option.

Once the setup is complete, you're all set! The shortcut is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly.

Notefy offers multiple convenient activation methods:

• Activate with Siri: Begin by saying ‘Hey Siri’ followed by ‘Notefy’ to start the shortcut and it will begin listening straight away. Once you're done, tap the screen to indicate you've finished. The shortcut will then process the recorded audio and generate a concise summary.

• Summarise Text and Audio: Instantly understand the core of any text or audio content. Just send it to Notefy. The app promptly analyses and condenses the material into a brief, coherent summary. Whether it's a Safari text, a note, or a lengthy audio message from WhatsApp, Notefy seamlessly transforms any text or audio into a concise summary.

Release Highlights:

• New Model Introduction: GPT-4o mini (‘o’ for ‘omni’): The most advanced and affordable model in the small models category. It boasts higher intelligence than gpt-3.5-turbo while maintaining the same speed. GPT-4o mini is designed for smaller tasks. It is recommended to choose GPT-4o mini where gpt-3.5-turbo would have been used previously, as this model is more capable and economical.

Release Highlights:

• API Key Storage Enhancement: To resolve issues with script readability, API keys will no longer be encrypted in Data Jar. Previously, encryption caused errors that prevented the Shortcut from reading the API key. Storing keys unencrypted will ensure seamless script functionality.

Release Highlights:

• New Model Integration: This update simplifies the model options from 4 to 3. Users now have three distinct models to choose from: ChatGPT-3.5-Turbo, which now points to ChatGPT-3.5-Turbo-0125; ChatGPT-4 has been upgraded to ChatGPT-4-Turbo; and the newly introduced ChatGPT-4o is now available. This adjustment aims to simplify model selection while maintaining advanced capabilities.

As a shortcut within the Apple ecosystem, Notefy automatically enjoys certain built-in security features. This inherent protection extends to its interactions with external service providers. However, it's important to note that the full functionality of this shortcut depends on the OpenAI API. This means that if you have reservations about sharing your data with third-party services, Notefy might not be the ideal choice for you. For those considering using Notefy, it's recommend reviewing the OpenAI Privacy Policy to make an informed decision.
