In plain English

ChatGPT Siri is an Apple Shortcuts configuration that connects Siri to OpenAI's ChatGPT API, turning Apple's built-in voice assistant into an AI conversation partner. Instead of the standard Siri responses, you get answers powered by ChatGPT. You talk to Siri as you normally would, and it passes your question to the ChatGPT API and reads the answer back to you. The project distributes as a downloadable Shortcut file, not as an app. You download the shortcut, open it on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, enter your OpenAI API key, and then trigger it by saying "Hey Siri" followed by the shortcut's name. It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, HomePod, and CarPlay. No App Store download is needed. Conversations can be continuous: the shortcut keeps track of what was said earlier in the exchange so you can ask follow-up questions. You can start a fresh chat or exit at any point using voice commands. Chat logs are saved automatically to a text file in iCloud Drive and to the Notes app, with timestamps and token usage recorded per message. Later versions added the ability to choose which AI model to use, including GPT-4 and newer models, and support for alternative API providers such as DeepSeek and OpenRouter by entering a custom URL. This means you are not locked into OpenAI's service if you have an account elsewhere. Using the shortcut requires an OpenAI API key, which you create on OpenAI's website. There is a cost per use based on the number of words processed, though new OpenAI accounts come with a small credit. The key should be kept private and not shared.
