ChatGPT / DALL-E - OpenAI integrations

@Gold As @iandol said in his earlier reply, cost increases as the chat grows so if you're using a long-term chat window, extra tokens will be used as the previous conversations are being included as context in the chat.

 

If you don't need the context of your previous questions, use Cmd + Return to clear the chat and start with a fresh slate, which will ensure you're not using additional tokens in the background for context.

 

In terms of costs, GPT 4.5 Turbo is $10/million queries, whereas GPT 3.5 Turbo is $0.50/million queries, so it may not only depend on how much context is being included, but will also depend which model is being used by the other services you're using.

 

Thanks @Vero, but I've been doing exactly that; starting fresh for each ChatGPT session. Unfortunately, I still find Alfred's API costs far more expensive than the previous app I've been using for over a year: MacGPT. My inputs have been short, and while MacGPT gives significantly longer responses, Alfred’s are always brief. Alfred's ChatGPT still cost significantly more and I'm trying to figure out why. I use the same GPT-4 Turbo model on both.

I don’t know what to tell you more than what’s been said. The Alfred workflow follows the API.

 

We’re not privy to your usage (nor do we want to be, we firmly believe in privacy and not collecting user data), but it does not seem accurate to say Alfred’s responses are always brief because the text comes 100% from the API response. There’s nothing that would cause shorter replies (and there have been no other reports of it) unless you’ve set up a system prompt to tell it to make brief answers (you can confirm that in the workflow’s configuration).

 

Again, we don’t have (and don’t want to have) any control over how OpenAI charges you. The workflow follows the API as it is documented and this can be verified by looking at the code which is available in its entirety. If anyone spots an opportunity for optimisation (and I know lots of people have been looking at the code) they are welcome to suggest it. Anything further than that regarding your usage only OpenAI can say.

This is a noob question, but then again, I'm a noob. 

I'm running the free version of Chatgpt, but when I try to run the workflow, i get the error message " 

[You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.]

I'm confused, since it's free and I haven't exceeded my quota. 

any advice?

 

thanks a lot

There is no "free" version of the API according to the pricing page:

 

https://openai.com/pricing

 

There is a free web page interface (https://chat.openai.com), but that is not the API. For the API they give you some tokens at the start if I remember correctly, then you must pay-per-use.  

 

 

If you want free: use a local LLM (the model runs on your Mac, no costs and no privacy concerns as OpenAI hoovers up all your data), or use a wrapper tool like https://openrouter.ai (that can utilise OpenAI, Claude, or many different open source free models using a single unified API). Sadly there is a small API incompatibility between this workflow and OpenRouter (@vitor may accept a pull request to fix it but I haven't had time...), so that leaves you with: give your credit card details to OpenAI, or use a local model...

Got it. It's no real problem to me as long as it's expected behavior. I appreciate the attention to the matter.

@CharlesVermeulen To expand on @iandol's response: OpenAI offer some API free credit on account creation (it's now $5 I believe) which is valid for 3 months, then expires. 

 

If your credit has expired, or you've used it up, you'll see the error message you've received.

 

Reiterating what has been said before; The ChatGPT web-based interface is separate from the API, so while the website is free, there is a cost to the API, however small, so you'll likely need to add a few dollars of credit here:

The search chat history feature doesn't work on macOS 10.15.7 Catalina

 

Alfred: 5.5
Workflow: v2024.7

 

Debugging information as follows:

 

[22:58:03.942] Logging Started...

After some searching I found that this `toReversed` function was introduced in ES2023, according to the MDN Web Docs description, the minimum compatible version of Safari for this function is 16+, while last supported version of  Safari on macOS Catalina system is 15.6.1 🤣

Since Alfred is still compatible with Catalina, can this problem be solved?

Hi,
Loving the new ChatGPT workflow.
Could anyone let me know how to keep the Alfred Window open with the query results ?
I usually need to keep the Chatgpt output on screen and would like to avoid it going away when clicking on a different window or app.
Thanks,
Daniel

Is there any plan that allows users to use different base url instead of OpenAI？

I am using the third-party chatgpt api which has the same request format as OpenAI, and hope I can assemble it in this workflow.

That’s not available, but you can copy the output (or just the last answer) with the shortcuts listed at the bottom

Ok thanks for your reply.
I do use the shortcuts to copy the last answer and then paste it to a text editor so I can keep it on the screen but I find it frustrating, it would be great just to be able to "pin the alfred window", also useful in other workflows.

I've not used Alfred in some years but my colleage just convinced me to come back to it after sharing this workflow with me.  Workflow installed...but not getting any results.  After enabling debug, I'm getting

Any pointers?  I literally just installed Alfred before this workflow and it's a "clean" machine that hasn't seen Alfred before.

[vitor]

Welcome @guppy16,

 

You have to install the Automation Tasks.

Hello!! Marvelous workflow, but a question: is it possible to have a config field to set the API endpoint?

 

As has been suggested already in this topic, I'm using a locally run LLM that has the same API hooks than openAI, so it's only a question of being able to point the workflow to my server instead of chatgpt's.

Thanks.

@gatto It is indeed possible. See the second post for instructions on how to accomplish that.

Might be worth pointing this out in the documentation for this workflow! For weeks, I was scratching my head why I get the "Quota exceeded" message when I had no problems sending ChatGPT requests on the ChatGPT website and it showed me plenty of credits there. Of course, credits were at $0 on the API website...

Hey, 

 

I've paid for GPT4, but after downloading the Alfred extension and trying to post something, it tells me:

 

[The model gpt-4 does not exist or you do not have access to it.]

 

Can you please help?

 

 

[vitor]

Welcome @wjb,

 

You need to use the API, the ChatGPT Plus subscription is something separate. See the FAQ for more information. If that’s not the issue, please provide the information requested under “How do I report an issue?”.

Is it possible to copy some of the features from ChatFred into the ChatGPT / DALL-E - OpenAI integrations workflow?

 

ChatFred used to provide the same function as this workflow, yet it came with additional, and extremely useful features:

• automatic copy to clipboard for ChatGPT responses and DALL-E images
• text transformation
• combined prompts
• aliases
• universal actions integration
• among others

Unfortunately, the developer was unable to maintain it due to personal reasons (I tried to help but I don't have the experience yet), but the features it provides could be used in this workflow.

 

I really appreciate the Alfred team for making this workflow as it has made me almost as efficient as I was with ChatFred and I think that if the team could integrate some of these features it would be very useful for Alfred PowerPack users.

I got  a erorr at the Text View Step

{"error":{"code":null,"message":"You must provide n=1 for this model.","param":null,"type":"invalid_request_error"}}

 

Any advice?

 

 

 

 

[vitor]

You’re using DALL-E 3 but telling it to generate more than one image. That model can only do one.

Updated to 2024.11.

Add GPT-4o model.
