Apple released AI text tools in its operating systems. Fans and critics expect Apple Intelligence to fall short. Apple itself lowered expectations. iA Writer has been preparing for AI text tools for nearly two years. It is ready for any AI, good or not. We doubled our efforts for Apple's AI Writing Tools.

@ia It would generally be super useful to have an option to show changes when you mark text and replace it with clipboard content.
@ia Wow! I didn't realize this was already working. Nice! This let me build a nice automation (#LaunchBar action) to correct text with ChatGPT. Any chance you'll add support for this to the #AppleScript library on Mac or #Shortcuts? Currently, I need to use UI scripting. It's working but it's hard to share because of the custom naming of sources. Something like this would be ideal:
@ptujec Shortcuts for authorship are already supported. We recommend starting with the ChatGPT examples in our gallery. https://ia.net/writer/support/basics/apple-shortcuts
@ia Thanks for your answers. I really like that feature. It's nice to see you investing in automation.
I read on your website that you encourage using shortcuts instead of URL schemes. Is the same true for AppleScript?
I'm just curious. Shortcuts are great, but for more complex stuff I still prefer URL schemes or AppleScript. This way I can write my LaunchBar Action mainly in JavaScript, which is just much nicer and more flexible than clicking things together in Shortcuts.
@ia BTW: This is the LaunchBar action. For now I decided to stick with AppleScript.
