Hello there.
As a writer I often need to swap a word for one of its synonyms. I just made a PopClip extension to automate this for myself and thought it could interest others.
It simply sends a request to the OpenAI API that returns 5 possible replacements, and opens a selector via AppleScript for you to pick one. Then it replaces the selected word with the chosen alternative.

I am not a programmer and there was certainly better ways to do it so I’m open to suggestions.
There must be several APIs for synonyms specifically, but I chose to use OpenAI for ease of use in various languages and the possibility to send an expression with several words (useful in French because it works better if you include the article).
