On Thursday, May 18, OpenAI made a major announcement by introducing the highly anticipated ChatGPT app for Apple’s iOS platform. This AI-powered app is set to revolutionize how users interact with chatbots and offers subscribers an array of new features and exclusive perks that can be accessed on the go.
The ChatGPT app’s key feature is its seamless cross-device synchronization system, making it incredibly easy to switch from one device to another and pick up exactly where users left off. Additionally, OpenAI shared that speech recognition will also be integrated into the app with the use of Whisper, a homegrown audio input system.
OpenAI is further introducing the ChatGPT Plus subscription plan, allowing users to access premium features and stay at the cutting edge of AI advancements. Subscribers of this plan have early access to new features and will be equipped with the most recent capabilities of GPT-4.
As the app is currently free to use, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can enjoy the added benefits for $20 per month. OpenAI has also hinted that the app will eventually be made available to an international audience. With the app’s addition to the iOS platform, the company is poised to strengthen its foothold in the lucrative chatbot-driven market.
Arguing for the importance of due diligence, OpenAI advises users to be aware of unofficial ChatGPT apps being circulated on a variety of app marketplaces.
OpenAI is a pioneering artificial intelligence research lab fueled by the ambition to bridge the gap between real and artificial intelligence. Founded in 2015 by scientific and tech heavyweights, including Sam Altman, the current CEO and President, the company has been highly successful in its mission to enable real-world applications of advanced AI technology. With the addition of the ChatGPT app, OpenAI is further solidifying their place in the market.
