Kiki - Setup and Walkthrough - AI Text Presets for Alfred

[@CaryCrusiau]

What a great tool! 👍

[@afadingthought]

Thanks man! Hope you find it useful. I use it everyday myself.

[@CaryCrusiau]

Of course! I'll be using it mainly for translations, spelling and grammar corrections, making summaries of texts and so on…@@afadingthought

Hi Robert, I hope you are doing great. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us. I'm trying to learn a few things. I know you are using Bear, do you know if this workflow works with Obsidian?

[@afadingthought]

Hi! I haven't tested on Obsidian, but (assuming you are asking about the markdown chat feature) if obsidian can copy markdown line dividers like --- without replacing or adding characters, like I mention on 16:19 , I don't know why it wouldn't work. Other than the markdown features, though, the workflow just uses dialogues and normal copy paste functionality which is not app-dependent. If you encounter any issues let me know and will try to help! When I have chance I plan to do more videos explaining the entire functionality of this workflow and more walk throughs

Thank you. Having some issue using this Workflow. For instance, I didn't get any feedback after "Kiki Chat". Alfred window just closes with no output. Any idea?

[@afadingthought]

Hi! Do you see any error popup? The "Kiki Chat" keyword does require an input right in there, unlike the presets, if empty it will show an error in a popup. If you did an AI request and got nothing back, try it while opening the debugger mode (CMD + D), do you see any error there? Also, how did you set it up? Did you fill up all the services? only one? or which model name? All of this can help me help you :)

@@afadingthought Thank you for your support. I don't get any error, it doesn't matter if I write text in Kiki Chat or not. I hit "enter" and the Alfred window disappears. I just set the OpenAI API string and the Kiki folder, using 3.5 model. I will have a look to debugger ASAP but please in the meantime if you have ideas just let me know. Maybe I can send you a screencast in some way... Thank you so much!

@@francescofornaro I just did a quick recording for you where I go over the most basic setup (as you have it) and give you a few ideas of what to check. In summary, it could be JQ, curl, or something within your system (which will most likely appear in Alfred's debugger). Do make sure that you have your API token written correctly and without any misspellings as that could also be it. Here's a clip for you (will be live for a week): dropover.cloud/8d8d80#9dbb5674-cb78-4002-a727-9f17f87f1be8

@@afadingthought Hi, now it worked. Basically I installed Homebrew via Terminal, then I installed JQ as well and after that Kiki works. Let me thank you so much for your support!

Hi, Im new to Alfred. I downloaded the workflow from you Github but have no idea how to install Kiki into my Alfred.

[@afadingthought]

Hi! I've tried to be as detailed as possible in the documentation, but if there's anything specific you need to know let me know. You will need to have JQ installed (so you probably need to install homebrew first). If you have an Open AI API it actually is super simple to setup, at least for simple quick chats on dialogs-you only need the api token and choose a custom folder. Still, though, you do need JQ or it won't work. github.com/ognistik/kiki-ai-workflow ... you also need Alfred's powerpack, by the way.

@@afadingthought I made it, thanks
