Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I set up an alternative AI model?

The workflow offers the ability to change the API end points and override model names in the Workflow Environment Variables. This requires advanced configuration and is not something we can provide support for, but our community are doing it with great success and can help you on a different thread.

How do I access the service behind a proxy?

Add a new https_proxy key in Workflow Environment Variables. Or configure the proxy for all workflows under Alfred Preferences → Advanced → Network.

Why can’t I use the workflow with a ChatGPT Plus subscription?

The ChatGPT Plus subscription does not include access to the ChatGPT API and are billed separately.

 

How can I reuse pre-made prompts?

 

Make a new workflow with a Keyword Input and connect it to an Arg and Vars Utility with your custom prompt text plus {query}, which will be replaced with new input from the Keyword. Then connected it to a Call External Trigger Output set to open continue_chat from this workflow.

Is there a video which shows how to use the workflow?

Yes, on YouTube.

How do I report an issue?

Accurate and thorough information is crucial for a proper diagnosis. When reporting issues, please include your exact installed versions of:

• The Workflow.
• Alfred.
• macOS.

In addition to:

• The debugger output. Perform the failing action, click “Copy” on the top right and paste it here.
• Details on what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. A short video of the steps with the debugger open may help to find the problem faster.

 

Why does nothing happen after I press ↩?

 

Something always happens, so check the debugger. Chances are you’re missing the Automation Tasks. Install them.

 

Why do I keep getting Quota exceeded?

 

You need API credits to use the workflow, which are distinct from a ChatGPT Plus subscription. You can view your remaining credits and top up your account on the OpenAI website.

 

Why do I keep getting [Connection Stalled]?

 

This happens when the workflow takes too long to receive a reply from the API. It indicates a problem either with your connection or OpenAI’s service.

Open a terminal and run the following (replace the YOUR_API_KEY text within the quotes with your API key):

 

openai_key="YOUR_API_KEY"
time /usr/bin/curl "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${openai_key}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo", "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What is red?" }], "stream": true }'

It should provide a clue as to what is happening. Include the result in your report.

Thanks vitor for the great work, this generative AI finally arrives in Alfred!

 

Since OpenAI is not available in some countries/regions, would it be possible to enhance this workflow to have a dedicated network proxy setting, or is that possible to configure a proxy only for this workflow? E.g. https/socks. Although Alfred can utilize the system proxy in macOS, setting a system proxy would affect all other apps.

 

Thanks!

[Praxder]

Thanks @vitor, this workflow is truly a game-changer and I've already been using it quite a bit. 

One issue I found: if you open the Alfred prompt, start querying ChatGPT with the set keyword (I changed mine to "c"), and then hit CMD-Enter (which should start a new chat session), the Alfred prompt disappears and doesn't show any results. If I had invoked it normally (with just "Enter") it works fine, but with "Cmd-Enter" it does not. 

[vitor]

@Praxder That was fixed earlier today. Please update to 2024.2 and it should be resolved.

[Richard Kaplan]

Great Workflow - thanks.

 

Is there any way to configure ChatGPT in this workflow to utilize a ChatGPT plugin?

Actually I guess ChatGPT plugins are being eliminated and replaced with Custom GPTs - will it be possible to replace the standard ChatGPT with a custom GPT?

[vitor]

The API doesn’t allow that, so that’s a request you have to make to OpenAI.

[Buffer]

Hi there,

 

Are there API usage reports available for this workflow? I understand how this will vary, but just some simple reporting on average usage?

 

Thanks!

[Vero]

@Buffer You can see a fairly detailed summary of your usage on the OpenAI site's Usage tab:

https://platform.openai.com/usage

 

You'll see your activity split by day, and by text and image content. 

[Buffer]

@Vero Thanks for getting back to me. I was actually wondering if there was rough data on what average consumer usage was for sending API requests via the workflow. No worries if this is not available, just thought I would check. Take care.

[Benjamin Thomas]

I have accidentally cleared convo so many times. To me command enter for delete is risky as it is also new line in a lot of other interfaces. 

 

Also, why not just GPT as a keyword?

 

Realize I can customize this but was feedback for the default flow!

 

Finally - would be great to have a shorcut to copy code block from response.

In the macOS paradigm, ⌘↩ is a submit. Try it e.g. on a comment box on GitHub or this forum. It submits what you have in the textarea. Newlines are typically ⌥↩ and/or ⇧↩.

ChatGPT is the name of the service. A GPT is a related but different thing. This makes the keyword more obvious. And as you noted, you can customise it to your liking very easily. Some people use just c.

@Buffer Just to clarify, we don't track your data so Alfred doesn't hold any knowledge of your API usage. Your privacy has always been a priority for us, so we don't keep aggregate data of users' Alfred usage, don't track your searches and don't host your preferences. 

 

You could create a quick keyword-based shortcut to launch the API usage page of the OpenAI site so you can easily pop it up to see how much data you've used. It won't take long for you to get a feel for your own usage level, I'm sure!  

[Buffer]

Thank you everyone, great ideas about individual usage tracking! I'll keep up the hunt for consumer use cases as well. It would be interesting to see what user groups as a whole vs individuals are consuming API requests.

@Vero I love that y'all take privacy seriously. Just another reason I recommend Alfred so often. Thanks again!

[ThanhD]

I hope a similar workflow for Gemini, its API is free of charge 😀.

[captainobvious]

Love the first party integration! 

I ran into an issue today when my credits ran out, I had to clear the conversation to continue chatting after adding credits in OpenAI.

[MonkeyKing]

Hello, so far only gpt3.5 and gpt4 models are being offered on the workflow. However, gpt4 is the older but more expensive model. Are there any plans to bring the newer and cheaper gpt4turbo model to the workflow? Or is there any way for us to change ourselves?

[vitor]

GPT-4 Turbo preview has been added in version 2024.5.

[vitor]

@UA Mike The Plus plan is only for access through the website, API access is billed separately. See “How can I access the ChatGPT API?” on OpenAI’s website.

[Vero]

Curious to see how easy and quick the ChatGPT / DALL-E workflow is to use? I've created a quick video introducing the workflow and its configuration.

 

 

Hope this helps you discover this most awesome workflow

Super amazing workflow and thank you for this video!

how to config using proxy to request chatgpt api? 

[JJJJ]

It would be very useful to save the current chat with a keyword as txt or md document.

[vitor]

You can copy the current chat to the clipboard with a shortcut, then use another workflow with a keyword to save the chat in the format and name you want to the folder you want.

[Cipri]

I'd love to see a workflow like this for Gemini since their API is free.
