It’s an early version, I am expecting a few hiccups, but I am also really happy that it finally arrived!
Happy chatting everyone!
And here’s the fineprint:
The early version of the Windows app is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users. Access to the app may depend on your company’s IT policies.
Now if this had an API, preferably C or Python, so we could customize it.
Store conversations in folders (on the users Windows machine)
Tag conversations or even specific prompts and replies
Search conversations
Turn sets of conversations into a notebook for learning a course
Compare older prompts completions with different models, including models not by OpenAI
Run generated code on our local machine
Collaborate with others using shared conversations
Add icons before or after a prompt in the left panel
Integrate with other tools such as VSCode
Assist with Git pull request
Read forums such and Discourse and Zulip for interesting information
Create a unified summary of all of the sites visited each day.
Create a semantic search database of information on your computer and be able to access it from a conversation
Run tests after model updates to confirm that the AI has not degraded
Create different local personas that will change the setting, model, memory, etc.
Tack limits such as o1 prompts. Would be nice to know in real time how many are left, etc.
When starting a new conversation default to a preset or cheaper model. I sometimes use a more expensive model by mistake when it is not needed.
Find news that is of interest to me.
Resync with other ChatGPT windows on other devices.
Work with the canvas directly via the API for the models that can work with canvas.
Track shared conversations so that they are not accidently deleted.
Allow one to include local models in the selection list. Think models such as those from Hugging Face.
Access via a REST API
Intelligent copy and paste. Currently thinking that if source is pasted in the canvas should open and recognize the source code language correctly.
Add ability to search for text in the conversation. Searching is possible with ChatGPT as a web page but not currently (10/28/24) as a Windows desktop app.
Manage multiple canvases, e.g. when converting code from one programming language to another it is nice to have two canvas open.
I’m really excited for this. What are the chances we will be able to give it access to read/modify directories in the future? I would love for it to be able to directly access the app I’m developing and suggest changes across all files.
At present I think it is wise to only make the app available via the Microsoft store.
If others provided a link to the download, that could be to a fake app.
Also when using winget there were a few spoofed apps in the list that others might think are the real OpenAI ChatGPT Windows Desktop app. The real OpenAI ChatGPT Windows desktop app is currently not installable by winget.
*The Windows app is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users. This is an early version, and we plan to bring the full experience to all users later this year.
hey! does anyone try it under Wine? I’m managed to run ~/chatgpt_x64/app/ChatGPT.exe. However, after logging in through the browser, the app gets stuck on the login icon.
Downloaded, installed. Was really hoping for voice capabilities - and I can hear it when I select different voices (in Settings) but seemingly no way to interact via voice with the model.
How will it be a ‘fake app’ if the download link is from OpenAI’s servers and includes a hash/checksum (e.g. SHA-256, MD5, CRC32) to verify the file’s integrity?
If you are referring to the ‘chatgpt’ items listed from using winget then think about what WinGet means. On Debian based Linux there is app-get and the same was desired for Windows. So WinGet is like app-get in that individuals can create application for download using the package manager. The noted chatgpt apps installable by WinGet were not created by OpenAI, not published to the WinGet app repository by OpenAI and OpenAI does not manage the WinGet repository. So just like with app-get one has to be diligent about what one installs.
On Windows with the OpenAI Windows Desktop ChatGPT app open, just received a notification that updates were available and that ChatGPT might need to be restarted. So clicked to update then ChatGPT restarted.
