OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, has launched an official iOS app. They promise that their Android application is coming soon. The application version will surely make it easy and enhance the experience of using the mobile device.
The app is free to use and offers a number of features that are not available on the web version, including voice input and integration with OpenAI’s Whisper speech recognition system.
This app works on all ios devices iPhones and iPads. The app is available for US users in the first phase and it will continuously roll out worldwide in the coming weeks.
There was no speculation about the app getting launched but the incredible popularity of this text-based language model made them launch it. This will certainly affect Apple’s plan of launching its own AI chatbot since people will adapt to chapGPT and switching could be pretty hard. ChatGPT certainly seizes the early mover advantage. Some features that are available in its app versions are:
Voice Input
One of the most notable features of the ChatGPT app is its support for voice input. This allows users to interact with the chatbot using their voice, which can be helpful for people who are unable to type or who prefer to use voice commands.
To use voice input, simply tap the microphone icon in the bottom-right corner of the app. Then, speak your question or request. The chatbot will then respond to you verbally.
Whisper Integration
The ChatGPT app also integrates with OpenAI’s Whisper speech recognition system. This allows users to get even more accurate results from the chatbot.
When Whisper is enabled, the chatbot will transcribe your voice input and then use that transcription to generate a response. This can help to improve the accuracy of the chatbot’s responses, especially when you are speaking in a noisy environment.
Other Features
In addition to voice input and Whisper integration, the ChatGPT app also offers a number of other features, including:
- History sync: The app syncs your chat history across all of your devices, so you can pick up where you left off no matter where you are.
- GPT-4 capabilities: ChatGPT Plus subscribers get exclusive access to GPT-4’s capabilities, which offer even more powerful and accurate responses.
- Early access to features: ChatGPT Plus subscribers also get early access to new features and updates.
Conclusion
ChatGPT is already an analogy to the text-based AI chatbot. It already has more than 100 million users in very short time. By the introduction of the application, it will certainly have its users increase exponentially, as most people are more comfortable using apps than opening browser to use it. It will certainly make it tough for Apple’s own chatbot(upcoming) and Google’s already-launched ‘Bard’ to have competition with chatGPT. Apps in both ios and Android will be a milestone for OpenAI to revolutionize the way people search.
