There are two ways you can use Siri and ChatGPT together.
There's no waiting around to begin utilizing ChatGPT on your iPhone with Siri.
Apple is reportedly planning to incorporate ChatGPT from Open AI into iOS 18 in some capacity. You may watch the live stream of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10th of next week to see these and other AI announcements. Even if the ChatGPT integration with Siri is revealed, the general release of iOS 18 is probably not going to happen until later in the year.
Still, if you have the ChatGPT app on your iPhone, you can integrate it with Siri right now. Here's what you need and how to do it.
Requirements to use ChatGPT with Siri
While you don't need much, you do need the following two apps downloaded on your iPhone:
And while it's not required, check you are running the latest version of iOS, which is currently iOS 17.5.1. That way, you don't run into any hiccups while using ChatGPT and Siri together.
How to use ChatGPT with Siri
As long as you have ChatGPT and Shortcuts download on your device, trigger Siri and say any of the following:
Note: These prompts are all directly from OpenAI, but similar iterations should work.
The first time you do this, Siri will prompt you to turn on the ChatGPT shortcut. Tap the blue Turn On button that appears, and you'll now be able to use ChatGPT with Siri.
Know you have two primary ways to use ChatGPT with Siri.
The first method allows you to use Siri to ask ChatGPT any question, without actually opening ChatGPT. The process stays entirely within Siri, so you ask Siri the question and Siri will then answer, all powered by ChatGPT. For this method, use any of the four prompts listed above. You can say "Ask ChatGPT," wait for Siri to respond with "What would you like to ask ChatGPT about?" and then ask your question. Once Siri is done speaking, you can continue asking follow up questions, just like you would within the ChatGPT app, until you're satisfied.
Note: These conversations are saved into ChatGPT, so you can open the app to check them out later.
The second method allows you to use ChatGPT's new voice feature, but this does launch the ChatGPT app. This is a better option if you want to use ChatGPT more seamlessly. The conversation between you and ChatGPT flows much better, and quicker, within ChatGPT.
For this method, say "Start voice conversation with ChatGPT" and the voice feature within ChatGPT will quickly open and listen for your question. Once you're finished, hit the red X button and you'll see the conversation you just had, as text, within the ChatGPT app.
While the first method is more of an integration between Siri and ChatGPT, this method is a shortcut to opening up the voice feature in ChatGPT, which as I mentioned before, provides you with a higher-quality ChatGPT experience.
OpenAI also provides more information in case you want to make more complex shortcuts with ChatGPT and Siri, which you can check out here. If you want to learn more about ChatGPT, check out everything you need to know about ChatGPT and how we used ChatGPT to build out a wardrobe.
