OpenAI’s ChatGPT app is now available to paying users on Windows as the company begins testing a PC version of its successful Mac app.
The dedicated ChatGPT app allows you to ask the chatbot questions from its own window in a well-designed, streamlined interface. Best of all, the ChatGPT app gives Windows users access to the incredibly useful keyboard shortcut that activates AI Alt + space.
However, that’s not the only benefit of using the ChatGPT app on Windows. The app allows you to upload files such as photos, so you can ask AI about documents or the origin of a photo. Although the app still lacks the Advanced Voice Mode, it’s time for Windows users to try the ChatGPT app. After all, Mac users have been able to use these features since the summer.
Today, ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu users can start testing an early version of the Windows desktop app. Access ChatGPT on your PC faster with the Alt + Space keyboard shortcut. https://t.co/mv4ACwIhzA https://t.co/Ww6QvBfMnB pic.twitter.com/tkyodezZhvOctober 17, 2024
ChatGPT on Windows
ChatGPT’s Mac app is one of the best AI apps I’ve used because its keyboard shortcut makes it easy to integrate into your daily workflow. Now Windows users finally have the same access! With OpenAI working on more ways to use ChatGPT, such as the recently released Canvas mode, which works as an AI-powered word processor, it’s an exciting time for both Mac and Windows users. Hopefully the arrival of a Windows app is a sign that OpenAI’s standalone app development is increasing and that we’ll see more apps like Canvas soon.
The early version of the ChatGPT Windows app is now available for download from the Microsoft Store for all ChatGPT Plus subscribers. ChatGPT Plus costs $20 (£16, AU$30) per month, but if you don’t want to pay, you can access this ChatGPT Windows app at a later date once development is complete. Until then, OpenAI fans on Windows can rejoice that they are no longer an afterthought and the long-awaited app can be enjoyed by everyone.
