Heimdall: access the power of GPT-3 straight from Siri on any apple product.
heimdall is a Siri Shortcut that lets you access the GPT-3 API from OpenAI directly through Siri. You can ask Siri to "Ask GPT" and it'll send your query as a prompt to an intermediate server that forwards the prompt to the GPT-3 API.
A flask server (found at src/restful/app.py) is hosted as a RESTful API on Replit. When the custom Siri Shortcut is activated from an iOS device, it takes the user query and sends a POST request to the flask server. The server forwards the query as a prompt to GPT-3, accessed through the openai library. The generated response is then sent back through the server and is read aloud by Siri on the device.
Siri Shortcuts is an iOS app (available on iPhone and iPad) that allows users to create custom actions for Siri (eg: saying "Hey Siri, I'm almost home" might switch on your smart lights and open the garage door). heimdall is also a custom Siri Shortcut that looks like so:
In order to configure this on your device, ensure you have the Shortcuts installed. Open it and tap the + icon on the top-right corner. Here's the recipe of blocks to add – everything in in-line blocks is an input you need to type in yourself.

The URL in step 3 has to be updated should you deploy your own Replit server with the same code but a different project name.
Click the play button at the bottom-right corner to test the Shortcut. Click the share icon next to it and click Add to Home Screen. This makes the app show up on your home screen, allowing Siri to access it when invoked.
