This will bring you the improvement suggestion popup and will copy the suggestion to the clipboard.Thanks to the macOS accessibility API, GrammifyAI can work with text in any **web** or **native** application.
Thanks to **OpenAI**, GrammifyAI also improves your writting and language style.GrammifyAI utilizes your OpenAI API key, so there are no quotas or limits from the GrammifyAI side. Usage will be according to OpenAI's billing.

## Appendix
1. **Motivation for implementing this applications**
I am learning German, and it is challenging.
My thinking patterns differ from those of typical native speakers.
I am trying to receive feedback on my writing as quickly and easily as possible, so I have implemented a one-shortcut tool to check it.
I also want to understand corrections quickly, without long explanations from ChatGPT, and without the need to go to the ChatGPT window at all.
There are great applications like Grammarly that do a similar job, but unfortunately, they only support English,
and their AI capabilities can be a bit expensive and not as good as OpenAI or ChatGPT.2. Your OpenAI API key is used solely to connect with OpenAI for the purpose of GrammifyAI functionality and is not shared with anyone else.
Feel free to review the code and build the app on your machine if you have any concerns. ;)
It is stored locally on your device in an unencrypted manner, so use it at your own risk.
