ChatGPT has a Windows app now

OpenAI is currently testing a ChatGPT app for Windows, which is available for download from the Microsoft Store. The app is initially only accessible to paid users, including ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu subscribers. The Windows app allows users to ask the AI-powered chatbot questions in a dedicated window that can be kept open alongside other apps. Users can quickly access the app using the Alt + Space shortcut. The app also enables users to upload files and photos to ChatGPT and provides access to a preview of OpenAI's o1 model, which is capable of reasoning. However, the app is still missing some features, such as advanced voice mode. OpenAI previously faced a security issue with its Mac app, which stored conversations in plain text, but this issue has been fixed and locally stored data is now encrypted. The company plans to make the app available to all users later this year. The Windows app is similar to the Mac version, which was launched in June. The early version of the app is available for testing, and OpenAI is likely to add more features and capabilities in the future.
