OpenAI has just launched a mobile version of their popular AI chatbot service – ChatGPT. No longer is the service exclusive to desktop and browser-based platforms, users can now access it on their smartphone or tablet. Initially, the app has gone live only on the Apple App Store in the US, with the Android version coming soon.
ChatGPT has recently seen immense growth; with 100 million users now accessing the AI-chatbot in just two months of its launch. Since its debut, users of the service have been able to write codes, research topics, and pen entire essays. The mobile version brings all these features on the go, along with other new benefits – including voice commands utilising OpenAI’s Whisper integration.
Not only that, the official ChatGPT app for iOS is free for all users and without any ads. Also, users who pay for the paid-version of the app can access special benefits such as faster response times and priority access to new features. This version also comes with the GPT-4 model, a great addition for those who are deeply interested in Artificial Intelligence.
The company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, is a San Francisco-based research laboratory. Founded in late 2015, its mission is to advance AI capabilities particularly for the benefit of humanity. OpenAI is backed by a group of eminent investors, including Elon Musk and Reid Hoffman. It is spearheaded by a team of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, including Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
Overall, ChatGPT’s new official app for iOS is a step towards better accessibility for users, and one can expect the same for Android users soon. With the mobile version out, it’s now easier for users to leverage this powerful AI-based service to help with a variety of tasks.
