ChatGPT

PopClip extension to send the selected text to OpenAI's GPT-3.5 chat API, and append the response.

Note: Requires pre-paid API credits on your OpenAI account. API usage is not included in ChatGPT Plus subscripiton.

Description

Actions

The main action, Chat, sends the selected text to OpenAI and appends the response as a new line.

The previous messages in the chat are sent along with each new message, allowing an extended dialogue with the AI.

Modifiers:

  • Hold Shift(⇧) to copy just the response to the clipboard.

  • Hold Option(⌥)-Shift(⇧) to paste the response over the selection.

The Reset action (broom icon) clears the current chat history to start a fresh conversation.

Configuration

To use this extension, you need to provide it with an API Key for an OpenAI account. To get an API Key:

  1. Sign up for an OpenAI Account here: https://platform.openai.com/

Model

Reset Timer (minutes)

After this many minutes without any messages, the extension will automatically reset the conversation. Set it blank to never reset, and set it to 0 to always reset. The default value is 15 minutes.
