ChatGPT API

PopClip extension to send the selected text to OpenAI's GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4-Turbo or newest GPT-4o 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.

See also: ChatGPT Website extension, which opens a new chat on the ChatGPT website with your selected text as the first message.

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 just the response over the selection.

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