Connect Pomeroy to ChatWise

Yes, ChatWise works with Pomeroy. Pomeroy writes the configuration for ChatWise and you paste it in. Then ChatWise can reach Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Contacts, Messages, Maps, Shortcuts and Weather on your Mac, each app behind its own switch in Pomeroy, and nothing leaves your Mac except what you ask for.

How to connect Pomeroy to ChatWise

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install ChatWise first if it is not there yet. Coming back to Pomeroy’s window re-checks.

1
Download Pomeroy and switch on your apps.
Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. Switch on the ones you want, and macOS asks you to approve each.
2
Press Set up beside ChatWise.
Pomeroy puts the configuration on your clipboard as JSON. In ChatWise, Settings › Tools › + › Import JSON from Clipboard adds it.
3
Paste it into ChatWise.
Paste the configuration into ChatWise › Settings › Tools › + › Import JSON from Clipboard. In ChatWise, Settings › Tools lists Pomeroy. Switch it on for a chat and the tools appear.
4
Ask ChatWise something.
Try “What’s on my calendar today?” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

You do not need it — Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, how to check it worked.

What ChatWise can do with each app

One page per app: what ChatWise can and cannot do there, the macOS prompt to expect, and things to ask.

ChatWise does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Then check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy: an app that is off serves no tools. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether ChatWise is connected right now.

Pomeroy did not list ChatWise.

Pomeroy looks for ChatWise the way macOS does: by its app, by its command in the usual install locations, and by the folder it keeps its settings in. If ChatWise is installed somewhere unusual, paste the configuration above by hand; the connection works whether or not Pomeroy found ChatWise first.

Nothing comes back when I ask.

Check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy, and that the week's 50 free actions are not used up. Pomeroy says so in the answer if they are, and the count refills a week after it started.
