MacGPT brings the power of ChatGPT directly to your Mac. It allows for seamless interaction with ChatGPT through various methods, enhancing productivity and accessibility.

The application offers multiple ways to interact with ChatGPT, including a global shortcut, inline integration within text fields, and convenient access from the menu bar. It supports both the ChatGPT website and native API integration for a faster experience. Users can also enjoy a conversation mode for voice interaction and easily copy entire conversation transcripts.

ChatPC

ChatPC is an AI assistant built specifically for macOS, enabling users to automate various tasks through natural language interaction. It integrates with native macOS applications like Finder, Calendar, Mail, Notes, and Safari using custom actions. This allows users to manage their Mac environment more efficiently without manual intervention.

The tool prioritizes user control and privacy. Users can define which actions ChatPC can perform automatically and which require explicit approval. All communications with AI models like OpenAI are encrypted, and user data is explicitly stated not to be used for training AI models, ensuring end-to-end privacy. For users with OpenAI ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, ChatPC can also connect to other GPTs, access the internet, and use code interpreters via the ChatPC GPT.

FAQs
