### 5/5 — A very good app.

*2026-02-20*

It simplifies many processes, allowing everyone to easily configure AI features in Shortcuts. I really like it! Thanks to the author.

### 4/5 — Feature Request: Support to set Base URL in the action

*2026-02-14*

Support to set Base URL & API Key in the action

### 5/5 — Gemini

*2025-12-06*

API Gemini please

### 4/5 — No LM Studio support

*2025-09-11*

Great app but I can’t connect it to my LM Studio server because AI Actions forces HTTPS instead of HTTP which the app doesn’t support.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2025-05-22*

App ist schlecht was muss man den bei api eintragen wer entwickelt so ein Müll

**Developer response:** The App Store description clearly says you need your own API key.

“Wer suchet, der findet. Wer nicht liest, der meckert.”

### 5/5 — Great, but please app support for Gemini

*2025-05-21*

Amazing app, highly recommend. Would be great if you could add support for Gemini API.

### 5/5 — Use LLM APIs directly in Shortcuts

*2025-05-06*

Much easier than using “Run Shell Script” in your Shortcuts to access ChatGPT, et al. AI Actions provides direct access to ChatGPT and Anthropic APIs (and ChatGPT-compatible APIs such as Ollama, Grok, and Gemini). Also supports submitting images and PDFs. Fantastic!

### 3/5 — Add more llm access

*2025-04-23*

Very good stuff just needs more apis mainly local and gemma

**Developer response:** No.

### 4/5 — Great

*2024-11-04*

This is great! Would it be possible to add support for Open WebUI API? Would be an instant 5th star from me.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2024-09-15*

Work really well. Do the job
