I created a workflow using Alfred on macOS [0]. You press command + space then type 'llm' then the prompt and hit enter, and it opens the 5 tabs in the browser.

These are the urls that are opened:

http://localhost:3005/?q={query}

https://www.perplexity.ai/?q={query}

https://x.com/i/grok?text={query}

https://chatgpt.com/?q={query}&model=gpt-5

https://claude.ai/new?q={query}

Extremely convenient.

(little tip: submitting to grok via URL parameter gets around free Grok's rate limit of 2 prompts per 2 hours)

You don’t need third-party search managers like Alfred for this. You can just make a Shortcut called “llm” that accepts Spotlight input.
Interesting, I asked the LLMs if it's possible and it says there's an additional step of opening the shortcut first, then typing the prompt, whereas Alfred lets you put the prompt inline (i.e. you don't have to wait for the shortcut to open or anything to load). (glad for any correction to my understanding)
No, with Tahoe you get an inline input assuming “Accept input from Spotlight” is enabled for the Shortcut.
