OpenAI Rolls Out ChatGPT to Windows — Currently Limited to Paid Subscribers

OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT for Windows, a groundbreaking tool that aims to transform how users interact with office software. This new application integrates the power of AI into everyday tasks, allowing professionals to streamline their workflow and enhance productivity. 

This new window feature is available currently for ChatGPT plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu subscribers, allows users to access the AI assistant via a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Space) from anywhere on their PC.

“With the official ChatGPT desktop app, you can chat about files and photos,” OpenAI writes. “This app brings you the newest model improvements from OpenAI, including access to OpenAI o1-preview, our newest and smartest model.”

Overall, this seamless integration ensures that AI can be readily available to boost productivity by making sure the users don’t have to switch to different browser. Additionally, this step suggests a multitude of objectives, including the enhancement of user engagement, facilitation of more extensive data collection for model enhancement. And also the establishment of a robust ecosystem that may prove to be challenging for competitors to displace.

Even though the version is available currently for limited people, we can expect that the OpenAI probably roll it out to those on the free tier in the coming weeks or months. Also, ChatGPT app for Windows is compatible with most Windows 10 devices, but it does come with some limitations compared to other ChatGPT platforms. For now, it doesn’t offer voice features, including the Advanced Voice Mode.
