On Thursday, OpenAI announced the launch of the ChatGPT Windows app exclusively for premium users, bringing the power of conversational AI directly to your desktop. This new app enables seamless interactions and access to advanced features, enhancing productivity and creativity like never before.
Similar to the Mac version, the ChatGPT app for Windows allows you to engage with the AI chatbot in a dedicated window that can stay open alongside your other applications. The Interesting part is you can easily access the app using the Alt + Space shortcut.
With the new Windows app, users can upload files and photos and access a preview of OpenAI’s o1 model, which can handle advanced reasoning. However, it doesn’t yet have some features, like an advanced voice mode.
After launching the Mac version in June, OpenAI fixed a security issue that stored conversations in plain text, so now your data is encrypted.
Right now, the app is only available to ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu subscribers, but OpenAI plans to make it available to everyone later this year!
To download the new ChatGPT Windows app, You can visit the ChatGPT website and click on “Test an early version of the Windows app.” For those who prefer not to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, there’s good news—OpenAI plans to offer the full experience to all users later this year!
