This week, OpenAI released an iOS mobile app for its ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables Apple (AAPL) users to communicate with the ChatGPT chatbot. Dubbed Whisper, the speech recognition system of the ChatGPT iOS app allows users to give voice commands for requested information and the chatbot will then deliver comprehensive responses without pushing ads or too many results. This feature might be interesting for those familiar with Siri, Apple’s assistant.
If users do not prefer to open the OpenAI website on a mobile browser and use ChatGPT, they now have the option to use the desktop version of the app as well. The new app lets users sync user history across devices, allowing for more convenient experience. OpenAI will be collecting feedback to learn how people incorporate the ChatGPT responses into their daily lives.
With the ChatGPT app, users can get recommendations for cookery, travel plans, gifts, presentations and other tasks. It can also be used in a professional setting though, helping out with summaries, technical info and even offering feedback for tasks and projects. It is even capable of writing poems based on user input.
OpenAI is currently only available in the United States. OpenAI is planning to expand the app internationally, while a version forAndroid will be released soon. Additionally, it was recently announced that paid ChatGPT users will have the opportunity to access a web browser that can deliver information up to date. It can also be used with the Expedia (EXPE), Kayak, OpenTable and other services through different plugins.
OpenAI is a company created by Sam Altman that is dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence through open-source software and partnerships. This week, Altman testified before Congress for the first time, discussing the idea of regulating AI and offering his views on the matter.
To conclude, the OpenAI app for ChatGPT provides Apple users with an innovative way to communicate and get the information they need while being able to use the app across multiple devices. The app is currently only available in the U.S., with Android version and international expansion on their grounds of development. In addition, through the open-source app and plugins, ChatGPT grants access to many services and up to date information, adding value for its users.
