← Anime Me app

Pro tier perk, free guide

Talk to Anime Me from your widget, Siri or Apple Watch

Build two Shortcuts in Apple's free Shortcuts app. No App Store download, no account. About 3 minutes.

Shortcut 1: Ask Anime Me (works on Apple Watch)

You speak, Anime Me's free demo answers on screen. This is the one for your wrist.

  1. Open Shortcuts, tap +, name it Ask Anime Me.
  2. Add Dictate Text. Set Stop Listening to After Pause.
  3. Add URL Encode and make sure it encodes the Dictated Text.
  4. Add Text and type https://taskbotmarket.pages.dev/api/bubble?bot=anime&format=text&q= then insert the URL Encoded Text variable at the end.
  5. Add Get Contents of URL using that Text. Leave Method as GET.
  6. Add Show Result (or Speak Text if you want it read aloud).
  7. Tap the i (Details) button and turn on Show on Apple Watch. Tap Done.

Try it: say "Hey Siri, Ask Anime Me", then a quick question for Anime Me.

Shortcut 2: Log to Anime Me bot (iPhone)

Speak your run, it gets copied, and the full Anime Me Grok Bot opens so you can paste it.

  1. New Shortcut, name it Send to Anime Me.
  2. Add Dictate Text.
  3. Add Text: [Dictated Text]
  4. Add Copy to Clipboard.
  5. Add Open URLs with https://x.ai/bot/cSHcmhQQ1PG33YTIREmGI
  6. When the bot opens, paste and send.

Shortcuts can't type into another app's chat box for you, so the paste step is on you. Prefer a fill-in form? Use the Anime Me web app instead, it builds the message for you.

Put it on your Home Screen as a widget

  1. Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
  2. Tap Edit, then Add Widget.
  3. Search Shortcuts, pick a size (the medium one shows 4 shortcuts), tap Add Widget.
  4. Tap the widget while editing and choose your Anime Me shortcuts.

Heads up: Apple says shortcuts that use the microphone may open the Shortcuts app to finish when started from a widget. It still works, it just takes one extra screen.

Put it on your Apple Watch face

  1. Make sure Show on Apple Watch is on (step 7 above).
  2. On the watch, open the Shortcuts app and tap Ask Anime Me. Speak, then read the reply.
  3. For one-tap access: touch and hold your watch face, tap Edit, swipe to complications, pick a slot, choose Shortcuts, then Ask Anime Me.
  4. On Apple Watch Ultra, you can also set the Action Button to run a Shortcut.

Shortcut 2 opens a link, so use it on iPhone. On the watch, use Ask Anime Me. The watch needs a connection (its own, or via your iPhone) to reach the demo.

Why this is a Pro tier perk

The free demo answers briefly. Pro tier ($29.99) gives the full Anime Portrait Maker with its engine, self-check and premium playbooks, so whatever you speak into your watch gets the full expert treatment in the bot. Basic $14.99 and Plus $19.99 are there too.
