Default to new “gpt-4o” model

NOTE: For more information on using this action, visit our OpenAI integration guide. You will need to setup an API key before use of any ChatGPT actions.

Prompt for a text manipulation instruction and request ChatGPT to perform that instruction on the selected text. By default, the selection will be replaced with the result, but the prompt also allows you to select other output options (append, clipboard).

For example, select the text “my text” in the draft, run this action, and give the instruction “uppercase” in the prompt. The result will be “MY TEXT.”

This becomes more useful when you want to apply a series of instructions. For example, select the text “Happy Birthday Joe!” in a draft and use the instruction “uppercase and insert an 🎉 emoji between each word” to get “HAPPY 🎉 BIRTHDAY 🎉 JOE!”

Steps

script

// change variable to alter models available
const models = [
	"gpt-4o",
	"gpt-3.5-turbo"
]
// get your input selected text, and store range for later
const selection = editor.getSelectedText()
const [st, len] = editor.getSelectedRange()

let f = () => {
	let p = new Prompt()
	p.title = "ChatGPT: Modify Selection"
	p.message = "What do you want AI to do with the selected text?"
	p.addTextView("instruction", "Prompt", "")
	p.addLabel("caption", "Provide an instruction to transform the selected text in the draft, for example `capitalize`, `translate into spanish`")
	p.addSelect("result", "Result", ["Replace Selection", "Append to Selection", "Place in Clipboard"], ["Replace Selection"], false)
	p.addSelect("model", "Model", models, [models[0]], false)
	p.addButton("Modify")
	
	if (!p.show()) {
		return false
	}
	const instruction = p.fieldValues["instruction"]
	if (instruction == 0) { return false }

	// build prompt with instruction and selection
	let chatPrompt = `${instruction} the following text, returning only the result: ${selection}`
	// send that to ChatGPT
	let ai = OpenAI.create()
	ai.model = p.fieldValues["model"]
	let answer = ai.quickChatResponse(chatPrompt)

	// if we got no reply, cancel
	if (!answer || answer.length == 0) {
		return false
	}

	switch(String(p.fieldValues["result"])) {
	case "Replace Selection":
		editor.setSelectedText(answer)
		editor.setSelectedRange(st, answer.length)
		break
	case "Append to Selection":
		editor.setSelectedText(`${selection}

${answer}
`)
		editor.setSelectedRange(st + selection.length + 2, answer.length)
		break
	default: // clipboard
		app.setClipboard(answer)
		break
	}
	return true
