If You Use ChatGPT, You Need This Productivity App

This app transformed how I use ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is an amazing AI tool, but using it frequently involves a lot of repetitive actions, such as retyping prompts or starting new chats.

A few months ago, I found an app called Alfred that streamlines this. It lets me quickly reuse prompts, start a new chat, save responses, and more. While Alfred is a paid app for macOS, in this article, I’ll also share free alternatives for both Mac and Windows.

Here are three features that I use often when working with ChatGPT.

#1 Custom Search: Quick chats and zero clutter (free feature)

Lately, I’ve been replacing Google search with ChatGPT. Every time I have a question, I go to ChatGPT, start a new chat, and type my query. However, I don’t like the process of opening the website and starting a new chat for one-off questions.

Alfred has a custom web search feature that allows me to speed up this process.

I just open Alfred (⌥+space), type the keyword “gpt", and then my query. After hitting enter, Alfred launches ChatGPT in the browser with that question ready to go.

Here’s a demo.

Alfred offers many built-in web searches for Google Translate, Amazon, X, etc. The one I used in the demo above, I created myself.

It’s easy to create a custom web search.
