OpenAI Launches ChatGPT App for Windows: Here’s How to Download and Use It
OpenAI has officially launched a ChatGPT app for Windows, providing a native application for users who previously relied on web browsers or the built-in Copilot feature to access the chatbot. While this is exciting news for Windows users, the app is currently only available to paid subscribers, including ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu members. A full version for all users is expected to be released later this year.
The advertisement was made via a post on X( formerly Twitter), where OpenAI stated,” moment, ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu druggies can start testing an early interpretation of the Windows desktop app. Get faster access to ChatGPT on your PC with the Alt + Space shortcut.” This handy shortcut allows users to quickly open the app, streamlining their interaction with the AI.
How to Download the ChatGPT App for Windows:
Visit the OpenAI website.
Click on “Test an early version of the Windows app,” which will redirect you to the Microsoft Store.
Download and install the app, then sign in with your paid ChatGPT account to start using it.
Key Features of the ChatGPT Windows App:
The Windows version includes a convenient Alt + Space shortcut to easily summon ChatGPT, as well as a minimizable window that allows you to use the chatbot while multitasking. It retains all the core features found in the macOS, Android, and iOS versions, including the ability to upload images and access advanced functionalities like GPT-4 and the O1 preview.
However, some features are still missing in the Windows app, such as the advanced voice mode and GPT Store integration, though these may arrive in future updates.
While the full version for all users is still on the horizon, this early release gives paid subscribers a head start in experiencing a more integrated and seamless ChatGPT experience on Windows.
