How does it compare to this open source shortcut?

Federico Viticci's S-GPT has been interesting to try as well. It has integrations for Safari share sheet, Clipboard, Reminders and Calendar, LiveText, Safari and URLs, Quick Look, Files, Finder, Translate, and other export actions, and Music.

Yes, and I tried it as well. Honestly, I didn't like the way it was built around keywords as triggers for the actions I wanted to make. I wanted more flexibility, to be able to ask naturally what I want. But he did a very nice work, I took it as an inspiration.
That open-source shortcut seems like a simple chat bot to have conversations with. I wanted COPILOT to be something more than that, but still to be able to use it for simple questions. It actually works like an AI agent so I would give it my goal, or a task, and using the tools provided, it will run autonomously until it completes it. After that, I can still ask follow-up questions or provide feedback, so it will continue to run until I receive a convenient answer. Integrating OpenAI's function-calling feature into an Apple Shortcut is something that I have never seen elsewhere. And just that leads to limitless possibilities of integrations and capabilities. As I said from the beginning, it was such a crazy idea, but I loved it and put all my effort into it. :)
