Core Problems Addressed

Traditional text editing often requires multiple tools and cumbersome operations for translation, grammar checking, and text length adjustments. This workflow provides an automated, one-stop intelligent text processing interface, reducing the time cost of switching between applications and improving the convenience and accuracy of text handling.

Use Cases

  • Writers and content creators who need to quickly polish and adjust article content.
  • Scenarios requiring instant translation in multilingual communication.
  • Editors needing rapid proofreading and text optimization.
  • Mac users who want to quickly invoke AI text processing functions via Apple Shortcuts.

Main Workflow Steps

  1. The user selects text on a Mac device and triggers a preset Apple Shortcut.
  2. The shortcut sends the text and request type (e.g., translation, grammar correction) via an HTTP POST request to the n8n workflow’s webhook node.
  3. A Switch node routes the request based on type to the corresponding OpenAI processing node (translate to Spanish, translate to English, grammar correction, shorten text, lengthen text).
  4. The OpenAI node calls the GPT-4o-mini model to generate the processed text, outputting it in JSON format.
  5. The processed result is returned to the shortcut via the Respond to Shortcut node.
  6. The shortcut replaces the original selected text with the returned new text, enabling one-click intelligent text processing.
