1. Open (link: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys text: API keys on OpenAI.com, target: _blank) and generate an API key. Copy the key.
2. Download the shortcut and add it to your Shortcuts
3. Paste the key into the installation dialog of the Hey GPT-shortcut

To use “Hey GPT” activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri” or pressing the lock-button on your iPhone, then say “Hey GPT” and it will prompt you to speak your question. The responses from GPT will sometimes be wrong, but they’ll certainly be more useful than Siri’s.
