Fancy yourself an early adopter who can’t wait to snatch up the latest tech goodies? If so, you were probably all ears when OpenAI revealed ChatGPT to great fanfare in November 2022. Artificial intelligence has been around for ages, but ChatGPT promised to take this tech to a new (and very cool) level.
Unfortunately, if your company relies on Mac desktops and mobile devices that use Apple’s operating system, you were probably disappointed to find ChatGPT out of your reach. At first, ChatGPT was only available to those with Mac or Plus subscriptions, but that’s all starting to change with the newest launch.
ChatGPT: Accessible for All With the New Mac OS App
At the recent WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), OpenAI and Apple announced they would make this must-have chatbot available to all MacOS users whether they pay for their services or use a free version. This is fantastic news for those who don’t want to shell out for (yet another) costly subscription.
The ChatGPT desktop app comes with awesome features for Mac lovers, too. For instance, you can install the keyboard shortcut and launch ChatGPT by typing “Option + Space” on your Mac device. It couldn’t be any easier!
If you’ve been a long-time MacOS user, you likely depended on Spotlight Search, which provided a traditional search once the user typed in “Command + Space.” However, ChatGPT only requires one click to activate, unlike this search bar, which provides far more in-depth info than a basic search.
What Your AI Assistant Does on the App
Voicing or typing a question or command is nothing new since AI systems like Alexa and Siri have existed for ages. However, what many have been anticipating about this chatbot is its ability to process and analyze uploaded photos, files, texts, and screenshots. Company owners then receive descriptions and feedback on content in different forms.
Are you worried about your information disappearing into the ether? That’s not a problem. The latest version of ChatGPT makes it a snap to find your searches and results.
What To Look Forward To
While ChatGPT offers voice conversations while you’re in voice mode, GPT-4o plans to further customize ChatGPT with an enhanced voice mode boasting even more audio and video tools. Soon, OpenAI intends to release this tool to Mac users so business owners like you can use it to prepare for interviews, brainstorm company ideas, offload repetitive tasks, and so much more.
Company owners with mobile devices hooked to the Internet of Things (IoT) should also look forward to OpenAI expanding its ChatGPT feature to other electronics. At WWDC, the company claimed it would eventually allow Apple users to access AI from iPads, iPhones, and other hand-held devices, so even remote workers using their devices can benefit from ChatGPT when they are not in the office.
With some fine-tuning from the company, ChatGPT will finally be accessible to all Apple and Mac users. If you’re an interested business owner, watch for it and get ready to download the AI assistant on your device the moment it drops!
