Describe with GPT
Make "GPT-4o mini" explain what's in your image
What this shortcut does
This shortcut allows you to obtain a description of an image using the OpenAI’s “GPT-4o mini” multimodal model. The description, in addition to being displayed, is automatically copied to the clipboard. My most common use for this is to get a first draft for the alt text of images in social networks 🙂 It makes taking care of accessibility much easier. Also, in case of API error, the error message will be saved/shown instead of the answer. This is quite useful in case of trouble, and I have seen more than one shortcut that does not take API errors into account. NOTE: The shortcut expect to find the API key in a note named "OpenAI API Key". If such a note is not found, it will offer to create it. If you want to have a conversation with the same model check out my Chat with GPT shortcut.
