I have built something similar that runs without a server. It required just a few lines in Apple shortcuts.

TL;DR I made shortcuts that work on my Apple watch directly to record my voice, transcribe it and store my daily logs on a Notion DB.

All you need are 1) a chatgpt API key and 2) a Notion account (free).

- I made one shortcut in my iPhone to record my voice, use whisper model to transcribe it (done locally using a POST request) and send this transcription to my Notion database (again a POST request on shortcuts)

- I made another shortcut that records my voice, transcribes and reads data from my Notion database to answer questions based on what exists in it. It puts all data from db into the context to answer -- costs a lot but simple and works well.

The best part is -- this workflow works without my iPhone and directly on my Apple Watch. It uses POST requests internally so no need of hosting a server. And Notion API happens to be free for this kind of a use case.

I like logging my day to day activities with just using Siri on my watch and possibly getting insights based on them. Honestly the whisper model is what makes it work because the accuracy is miles ahead of the local transcription model.

Nice. Can you share?

		I'll plan to do it at some point -- at this moment I have hardcoded my credentials into the shortcut so it's a bit hard to share without tweaking. I didn't bother detailing it because its sort of simple. I think the idea is key here and anyone with a few hours to kill can get something working. On second thought -- apple shortcuts is really brittle. It breaks in non obvious ways and a lot can only be learned by trial and error lol Edit: I just wrote up something quick https://simianwords.bearblog.dev/how-i-use-my-apple-watch-to...
