OpenAI has recently unveiled its ChatGPT desktop application, offering Mac users an interactive platform for generating human-like text. This tool is now conveniently available for diverse tasks such as drafting, brainstorming, programming assistance, and learning new topics.
However, the advanced voice mode release has experienced a slight delay and is expected to require an extra month to launch an alpha version. Although this news may disappoint some users, it is a necessary step to ensure the successful completion of the new feature.
The initial roll-out of the desktop application is exclusive to select ChatGPT Plus subscribers. Plans are underway to make the service accessible to all Plus subscribers as the year progresses.
OpenAI is also determined to enhance its AI’s ability to “identify and reject certain content”.

This safety measure is intended to improve the user experience by filtering out irrelevant or inappropriate materials while enriching the system’s output with more relevant and useful information.
The company has briefly touched on its future plans for video and screen sharing capabilities. The timeline for this addition is contingent on meeting OpenAI’s high safety and reliability standards. The emphasis is maintained on adhering to stringent security measures and ensuring optimum performance in service delivery.
CEO Sam Altman praised the enhanced interactivity of the application, comparing it to “human-level response times and expressiveness”, bridging the gap between artificial and human communication. The real-time interaction mechanism has been a priority in recent updates to the application, positively impacting users’ experiences.
Lastly, a version of the desktop app for Windows users has not been announced yet but is expected to launch later this year.
