ChatGPT Windows app is finally available — here's how to get it ...
OpenAI has recently launched the ChatGPT app for Windows, following the earlier release for macOS. The new Windows app is quite similar to the Mac version and closely resembles the web interface.
There is a noticeable trend among AI companies to move beyond the web and develop standalone apps for both desktop and mobile users. As an example, Anthropic released its first iPad app for Claude and is reportedly working on a version for macOS.
The Windows version of the ChatGPT app is currently accessible to users on Teams, Plus, or Enterprise plans priced at $20 per month or more. However, it is anticipated that this will be accessible to all users in the coming months.
Unique Features of the ChatGPT Windows App
One of the most useful features carried over from the macOS version is the Alt+Space keyboard shortcut, allowing users to trigger a Spotlight-like mini window for quick access.
Unlike the web and mobile versions, the desktop release of ChatGPT is tailored to seamlessly integrate into your daily workflow on a computer. For instance, holding Alt+Space enables you to swiftly open a chat interface and interact with the AI.
However, a feature absent in the Windows app is the capability to take screenshots and directly send them to ChatGPT for feedback, code assistance, or design ideas. This feature, hopefully, will be integrated into the Windows app in the future.
Advanced Voice Integration
One of the primary reasons for transitioning to a native app is the forthcoming Advanced Voice feature within the desktop release. This feature will enable users to engage in continuous conversations with the AI while simultaneously performing other tasks.
In the near future, users can expect an expansion of the screenshot feature into a screen recording feature, allowing live feedback and interaction with the AI during gaming or calls.
To access the ChatGPT Windows app, users with paid accounts can download it from the Microsoft Store or directly from the OpenAI website.
For individuals not availing of ChatGPT's premium services, the web version remains accessible by visiting the ChatGPT website.
