OpenAI releases ChatGPT app for Windows, and it works on Windows 10, as well

OpenAI has expanded its ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) platform to Windows. The new app, available on the Microsoft Store, is aimed at ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users.

In a blog post, OpenAI says the ChatGPT app for Windows includes features like the ability to summarize and rephrase text and generate images from text descriptions using OpenAI’s DALL·E 3 image generator. However, it lacks some capabilities available in the ChatGPT web app or the Mac app.

For example, the Windows app doesn’t yet support voice responses. It also can’t perform commerce transactions through ChatGPT’s GPT Store, and because it’s a separate app, it doesn’t support integrations with tools like Slack and Discord at launch.

ChatGPT’s Windows app runs on most Windows 10 PCs, but requirements exist. Your PC needs to be running Windows 10 version 1809 or later and have at least 4GB of RAM and 200MB of disk space. The app is officially supported on Intel and AMD x64 processors, and OpenAI says that it “strongly” recommends a machine with at least an 8th-gen Intel Core or 2nd-gen AMD EPYC processor or a GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM.

OpenAI says Windows users can expect a more “full experience” later this year. For instance, the company plans to allow users to drag and drop files into the ChatGPT window and chat about Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.

The ChatGPT app for Windows follows the launch of the Mac app in May, and the iOS app in 2023. In a blog post, OpenAI said it’s working on a Linux and web apps that don’t require a download.

In other news, OpenAI recently finetuned the GPT-4o and GPT-4o Mini models to be capable of even more tasks.
