What is Short Circuit?
Short Circuit is a ChatGPT client for iPhone, iPad and Mac made by Red Panda Club. It supports Siri and Shortcuts, custom personas per conversation, a choice of OpenAI model and a fact-checking feature.
You can set the persona, creativity level and OpenAI model for each conversation, for example a tutor or a SwiftUI expert. Saying 'Ask Shorty' to Siri sends a question to ChatGPT, and Shortcuts can build workflows around it.
The app asks OpenAI not to use conversations for training. You can pay by subscription or buy a one-time lifetime unlock and use your own OpenAI token, and a free trial is included. The site text still mentions GPT-4, so check which models are current.
