Using the ChatGPT App
Upon launching the ChatGPT app, users will be prompted to log in using their ChatGPT or Gmail account. Once logged in, users can pin the app to their dock for quick access or utilize the icon in the top menu bar.
The app offers a convenient shortcut by clicking Option + Space to open the chat bar and interact directly with the AI tool. Users can customize this shortcut through the Settings menu within the ChatGPT app.
Given that the chatbot operates on top of the multimodal GPT-4o model, users have the ability to upload files, take screenshots, or photos by simply clicking on the paperclip icon and selecting the desired option from the drop-down menu.

Exploring Voice Commands
While the Voice Mode feature demonstrated by OpenAI is not widely available yet, users can still interact with the chatbot using voice commands. By selecting the mic icon on the ChatGPT query box, users can set up the Chat with Voice feature and choose from a variety of voice options.
Users can access their complete chat history through the sidebar icon at the top of the app. Additionally, users have the option to initiate temporary chats that are not saved in the chat history.
