On Wednesday, Sam Altman's AI company, OpenAI, announced that ChatGPT is now available for all Apple Mac users. The availability of ChatGPT on Mac computers was initially announced earlier this month during Apple’s flagship ‘WWDC 2024’ conference. Both companies had revealed the integration between OpenAI’s chatbot and Apple’s operating systems for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
"The ChatGPT desktop app for macOS is now available for all users," OpenAI posted on a social media platform. "Get faster access to ChatGPT to chat about emails, take screenshots, and discuss anything on your screen with the Option + Space shortcut," the company informed.
How to use ChatGPT on macOS
Mac users can now summon ChatGPT by using the keyboard shortcut Option + Space after installing the new ChatGPT app. During 'WWDC 2024', Apple announced that it is integrating ChatGPT access into experiences within iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. This integration allows users to access its expertise without needing to switch between different tools.
Siri can access ChatGPT's expertise when needed. Users are prompted before any inquiries are sent to ChatGPT, as well as any documents or images. Siri then provides the response directly.
“Additionally, ChatGPT will be available in Apple’s system-wide Writing Tools, which help users generate content for anything they are writing about,” said the company.
With Compose, users can also access ChatGPT image tools to generate images in a wide variety of styles to complement what they are writing.
Meanwhile, Apple has reportedly rejected a proposal from Meta Platforms Inc. to integrate Meta's Llama AI chatbot into iPhones. According to a Bloomberg report, Meta and Apple had initially discussed a collaboration in March 2024 regarding the potential integration of Llama into iOS devices. However, it did not advance to a formal agreement as Apple currently has no plans to incorporate Meta's AI technology into its ecosystem.
