A OpenAI announced this Thursday (18) the official launch of the app ChatGPT For iOS, allowing users to access their popular AI chatbot on the go, months after the App Store was flooded with dubious unofficial services. The new ChatGPT app will be free, ad-free and will support voice input, the company says, but it will initially only be available to US users.

Like its desktop version, the ChatGPT app allows users to interact with an AI chatbot to ask questions without having to do a traditional web search, get advice, find inspiration, learn, explore and more. Given the problems with Apple’s own voice assistant, Siri, and Apple’s lack of progress in artificial intelligence, this new release will see more users use ChatGPT on their phones as their primary mobile assistant. The launch could also potentially impact Google, as the search engine currently benefits from being the default search engine in Safari on Apple’s iPhone.

When using the mobile version of ChatGPT, the app will sync your history across all devices, which means it will know what you have previously searched through the web interface and make it available to you. The app is also integrated with Whisper, OpenAI’s open source speech recognition system, allowing for voice input.

ChatGPT Plus subscribers will be able to access GPT-4 capabilities through the new app, OpenAI says, in addition to getting early access to new features and faster response times, according to the company’s announcement. The subscription offer launched in February and costs $20 per month for advanced features including access to ChatGPT even during peak hours.

The company says the rollout of the new app will begin today in the United States, but will roll out to other countries in the “coming weeks.” The Android version is also advertised as “coming soon”.

Artificial intelligence promises to be a revolution capable of rivaling even Google, changing the way we think about technology.

New app raises competition concerns

The launch of the ChatGPT app comes at a time when major tech companies including Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are experimenting with artificial intelligence, and in the case of Google and Microsoft, are also integrating AI capabilities into their search engines. partnership with OpenAI, actually. But direct access to ChatGPT on mobile devices outside of a search engine or browser has the potential to change how people use their phones to find and connect with information.

One thing that might be interesting about the OpenAI mobile app compared to the AI ​​integration of the search app is the lack of ads. OpenAI refers to this on their blog, noting that users can get instant responses.without having to view ads or multiple resultsThe statement is a subtle criticism of the partner itself, as Bing already inserts ads into its AI-powered chatbot and also somewhat ignores search engines.

Even ChatGPT’s description on the App Store highlights the lack of ads as it’s one of the few features mentioned, along with the ability to sync your history and access the latest models from OpenAI.

The app comes just days after Google removed the waiting list for its own artificial intelligence chatbot Bard, which was announced at the Google I/O developer conference this month and is now available in English.

There is indeed consumer demand for ChatGPT and AI on the iPhone. A recent study by data.ai, an app store analytics provider, found that the top 10 mobile AI apps have already generated more than $14 million in consumer spending this year through the end of March, with average daily consumer spending up $11 million. % compared to February.
