Using AI and AppleScript to enhance workflow
I use Pages to create job quotes that get sent to my customers. Several years ago I created an AppleScript to export the doc to pdf to a specific folder on iCloud. It took me hours to get it to work, spending most of my time dealing with path name syntax because of iCloud, now all I have do is select the script in the menu and voila. On a whim today, I decided to see if Siri (MacOS 15.2) could create it for me, alas, no, I was referred to ChatGPT. My chatgpt request: "create a applescript that will export the current apple pages document to pdf and save it in icloud in the folder named: iQoutes followed by a space then followed by the current 4 digit year". Almost got it the first time, gpt was using "iCloud" as part of the path to save and AS threw and error about variable iCloud not being defined, so I replaced "iCloud" to my name to have gpt figure proper path syntax: "create a applescript that will export the current apple pages document to pdf and save it in \[insert my name here\] icloud in the folder named: iQoutes followed by a space then followed by the current 4 digit year". Worked!! As I'm writing this I noticed I spelled iQuotes wrong in the gpt request, but gpt spelled it correctly in the AS result.3
