The Ultimate Chat GPT Shortcut: Integrations with Bear, Alfred, Eleven Labs, BetterTouchTool & MORE

Hey there! I'm super excited to introduce you to ToolVox AI, a shortcut that's all set to totally change how you interact with Chat GPT and other LLMs. This thing is super versatile, flexible, and you can customize lots of settings to make it fit into your own personal workflow. It can import audio files, iOS Safari websites, URLs, photos, and even PDF files.
One of the coolest things about ToolVox AI is its Web Access feature. Even if you're not a Chat GPT Plus subscriber, you can still make requests on specific URLs and do simple Google searches. It's got presets for System Roles and Prefixes. It plays nice with multiple LLM models. Got a big text? No worries, it's got an (optional) auto-splitting feature that breaks it into chunks to avoid timeouts or get around length limits.
ToolVox AI doesn't stop there, it teams up with Bear or Data Jar, Whisper AI, Eleven Labs, and third party automation apps like Alfred, Popclip, and BetterTouchTool. It's got some advanced features like clipboard management, auto-saving conversations, and you can always pick up a chat where you left off.
ToolVox AI isn't just a shortcut, it's a total game-changer. Whether you're a casual user or a power user, you're gonna love it.
You can download the latest version of this Shortcut together with the Alfred Workflow, Popclip extension, and BetterTouchTool Preset over at my Substack. It’s all the way at the bottom of this guide where I’ve written detailing the use of all of its features:

Is this useful to you? Building ToolVox GOT took a LOT of hours. I’d be so grateful if you consider buying me a coffee over at this link:

This is just so super awesome!! Really appreciate what you did here and this should definitely get so much more attention.

[@RahmiOsmanKacmaz]

Just one question! The ElevenLabs integration doesn't seem to work on MacOS. It works on my phone though. I only hear a notification sound instead of the playback. Why could this be and how can I fix it?

[@afadingthought]

Hi! Thanks for letting me know! I am assuming you are on Sonoma? Seems like Sonoma introduced a few new bugs with the Shortcuts app. I went ahead and tested everything (downloaded and reset everything) and it works as it should... but noticed the setup of the main Shortcut was somehow missing, so I've updated the main ToolVox AI Shortcut in the original article with it (afadingthought.substack.com/p/toolvox-gpt-one-shortcut-to-rule). Without this, the "bookmarks" feature was probably not working. A Sonoma bug is that this new folder selection path during the setup doesn't seem to sync well between iOS and MacOS... so, if you set the shortcut up in iOS and then you run it in Mac you may need to go in there and tap the folder and select it the first time for it to run well. No issues after that (i.imgur.com/fMnmtqV.jpg).
But this doesn’t address the Eleven Labs issue because I don’t see it on my side. If you want to help me fix this I’ve created a “debugging” version of the shortcut where I’ve added a small popup alert after you try to use the ElevenLabs integration. This should tell you if Eleven Labs is returning any error: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3b0297ad248147e4beb7db1adf24222
Is Eleven Labs the only thing not working well on Desktop for you? It’s odd that it’s working on iOS but not Desktop. It means you got all the settings, API, and voice ID correctly set up. The only thing I can think of is that it could be something related to permissions or with your Eleven Labs account itself. Maybe try to download and run the main shortcut on Mac on instead of iOS? (Re-downloading the setup shortcut should not be necessary). Sorry if I can’t be of much help, but running the debugging shortcut I mentioned above should give us some clues.

hello ! great video ! thanks ! but I dont know how to provide API... It says i need to provide API key in an authorization header using Bearer auth. Could you help me please ? :) If it works it is awesome !

[@afadingthought]

Hi! You have to follow the link in the description and from the article download the Setup Shortcut which you run before the main shortcut (you only need to run it once or after you do any changes). In the Setup Shortcut there's this field for your API token.

That's actually the only one required field for ToolVox to work - though you can customize a lot more of the features and functionality within the Setup Shortcut (there's comments in there to guide the user).

Can you give us the popclip extension for toolvox ?

[@afadingthought]

Hi! I haven't really updated the popclip extension shown in the video because in the end I was finding it a bit too slow. ToolVox has received a couple of updates since its release and I'm not quite sure if the extension continues to work properly or not. Here's the link: github.com/afadingthought/aft-shortcuts/blob/main/ToolVoxAIPopClip.txt ... I do not have plans to update it because I am almost done creating an Alfred workflow that is much faster, has similar functionality, and I believe it can even integrate with popclip in a better/faster/simpler way - will share soon.

[@augustewolfromm8231]

Ok cool ! Can you then make a video about your new workflow with Alfred (btw we need to buy Alfred package to be able to use your workflow)

[@afadingthought]

@@augustewolfromm8231 yeah I do plan to make a video where I go over it in detail. ToolVox is still great for iOS, but for some reason it's too feature heavy for Mac OS and is a bit slow there (still not so hard to customize with 3rd party apps though some AppleScript). I believe the Alfred workflow will require the pro pack.
