macLLM - Use ChatGPT with your Clipboard

This is a super simple python script that does the following:

• It watches your clipboard for a trigger (default is the double at symbol, i.e. "@@")
• If your clipboard starts with this trigger, it sends the clipboard to a model (e.g. ChatGPT) and pastes the result back into the clipboard

How do you use this?

For example, let's assume you forgot the capital of France. You write:

@@capital of france?

You mark this text, copy (i.e. Apple-C), wait 1-2 seconds, and paste (Apple-P).

Paris

Or you want to tell someon in German that ControlNet is underrated, you would write:

@@translate german: ControlNet is an AI technology that is really underrated

Copy, paste:

ControlNet ist eine AI-Technologie, die wirklich unterschätzt wird.

And of course you can also use this to summarize text, expand text to bullet points or anything else ChatGPT can do.

Shortcuts

Shortcuts are shorthand for specifc prompts. So for example "@@fix" is a prompt that corrects spelling or "@@tr-es" is short for translate to Spanish. You use them in text like this:

@@fix My Canaidian Mooose is Braun.

This gets internally expanded to:

@@Correct any spelling or grammar mistakes in the following text: My Canaidian Mooose is Braun.

Which GPT will correct to:

My Canadian Moose is Brown.

You can add your own shortcuts for prompts in the shortcuts.py file.
