What is Prompta App?
Prompta is an AI-powered chat application available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. It is powered by ChatGPT API and GPT-4 (including GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-4o-mini), allowing users to engage in conversations with an artificial intelligence assistant that provides helpful and informative responses to queries. The app is designed by Vladislav Shtefanko and launched in 2023 as an iOS productivity tool.
Key features include Shortcuts integration that lets users connect system shortcuts with AI chat, effectively creating AI plugins to control their iOS device. Users can ask AI to parse links, get to-do lists, send messages to friends, access third-party APIs, set alarms, parse note folders (like Obsidian), and find music. The app supports markdown formatting, message streaming for lightning-fast response times, and allows exporting code, tables, and text as images or PDF files. Users can browse pre-made prompts for ChatGPT and Midjourney, use their own OpenAI API key for highly configurable chats with model selection and system messages, or use Prompta chat without an API key. A home screen widget provides quick chat access.
Prompta is ideal for iPhone users who want to leverage AI for productivity, task automation, and smarter daily interactions. It suits professionals, students, content creators, developers, and anyone who uses iOS Shortcuts and wants AI to execute complex workflows. The app is particularly useful for those who need to manage chats locally, search conversations, and integrate AI with their iOS device controls.

Frequently asked questions about Prompta App
What is Prompta and what does it do?
Prompta is an AI-powered chat application for iOS powered by ChatGPT API and GPT-4.

How does Shortcuts integration work in Prompta?

Parameter passing is supported, and you can ask AI to set alarms, parse folders, find music, and more.
