Introducing the ChatGPT app for iOS! We're live in the US and will expand to additional countries in the coming weeks. Android is next! https://openai.com/...

Well, the official ChatGPT app for iOS is here. Rather disappointed to see that the design is so incredibly... soulless. One of the coolest problems in design now is to make AI products humane, ethical and approachable. Removing all soul is not the right move, in my opinion. [ima…

US users can download the app here: https://apps.apple.com/...

ChatGPT on iOS live in the US and rolling out to other countries soon! https://apps.apple.com/...

ChatGPT app will become #1 app in the app store faster than any other apps in the history. https://twitter.com/...

RIP to all the ChatGPT apps 😅. https://twitter.com/...

Yesss THIS is the speech tech I wanted in a ChatGPT app for iOS! And sure enough it works; their app does not. So it's not accessible. But now you can ask a question and listen to the response! https://www.techmeme.com/... [image]

Good luck finding it with an App Store search, though. You'll get an endless list of third-party chatbots instead. It's mid-2023. How is it still this hard? I'm sure it'll be there in a few hours, but... https://twitter.com/... [video]

Search ‘OpenAI’, ‘ChatGPT’, ‘OpenAI ChatGPT’, or even ‘OpenAI ChatGPT official’ — you just get junk results. Searching for @halidecamera presents an ad for a competing camera app. Skylight, launched Tuesday, still doesn't show up in search. App Store Search, everyone. [image]

OpenAI just killed ~20 apps (4 of them were making $1M a month). But these were just waiting to be killed https://twitter.com/...

It's 2023 and they are still treating Android as a second class citizen https://twitter.com/...

excellent! Glad to see Sam Altman and OpenAI were able to get this innovation on the market without having to get a formal license to do so from the new federal AI bureaucracy or global regulatory body he testified in favor of on Tuesday. 😜 https://twitter.com/...

Official ChatGPT on iOS is clean and has some fun new animations! You can talk to it to! Seems better than native iOS transcription, guessing they're using Whisper here. [video]

I love this app's speech recognition. As someone with an accent that confuses my phone's speech recognition, it is a real joy to speak to the app and to be fully understood, every time. https://twitter.com/...

There have been a lot of fake ChatGPT apps popping up in the app store that have tricked people into sharing private data. Today, OpenAI launched the Official ChatGPT in the Apple App store. From what I can tell, there's no Android version yet. Source: https://openai.com/... [ima…

RIP those AI Chatbot apps https://openai.com/...

Chatgpt: there's an app for that. (As of today, and I wrote about it!) super curious to see what this means both for usage and user feedback... I, for one, will be keeping an eye on those App Store reviews. 👀 https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Interested to see how this Whisper implementation works, iOS's VTT is so bad https://twitter.com/...

Basically what I said would happen around Apple developer ecosystem. Apple is happy to let developers write AI apps for their ecosystem of devices. I'm very curious how the on-device capabilities + cloud get worked out in Apple's ecosystem. https://twitter.com/...

BREAKING: OpenAI has released ChatGPT as an iOS app. Been trying it out this morning and interface is well done. OpenAI team continues to impress with execution. https://apps.apple.com/...

And OpenAI's official ChatGPT iOS app is out. I give it 3 hours until it's the top in the App Store. https://apps.apple.com/...

App looks much better than the website. https://twitter.com/...

Finally all those scammy apps can disappear https://twitter.com/...
