The ChatGPT app arrived exclusively on Mac a few months ago. The OpenAI team continues to work on making it an app we want to use every daywhether it’s to help us at work or with any task we have in mind. You can even plan your next vacation or become a personal trainer.
Additionally, the desktop application not only processes text, but you can also Attach images and documents to help you. For example, you can download a contract you have doubts about and request it, the instruction manual of a device… As you can see, ChatGPT is increasingly able to help us more. Now, with your new free update of its Mac application, takes a giant step forward in the way we work with it.
ChatGPT for Mac Update Brings Always-On Floating Window
The main new feature in the latest ChatGPT update for Mac is the call add-on window or companion window. What does it consist of? On the one hand, we have the traditional ChatGPT application that works like any other Mac application, that is, when we open it we can work with it, but when we access another application or program, stay in the background. So if we want to go back to ChatGPT, we will have to search for the window or click on the dock icon.
With ChatGPT’s companion window, we can have a floating window always active next to the application we are using. For example, you can be in Word and at the same time have the ChatGPT add-on window to add or view information. ChatGPT for macOS now gives you access to a companion window that stays in front so you can use it more easily when working with other applications at the same time.
As you can imagine, this true multitasking completely changes our experience with ChatGPT on Mac, starting to have an ever-present assistant when we need it and increasing our working speed. Something that ChatGPT AI mainly focuses on.
The ChatGPT window is always present even if you are using another application
How to Enable the ChatGPT Companion Window on Your Mac
The first thing is to check that ChatGPT is updated on your Mac. To do this, open the ChatGPT application and in the menu bar go to “ChatGPT” and click on. “Check for updates”
Once the update is installed, you just need to Press the “Option + Spacebar” key. In this way, a pop-up window will open in which you can start making the query you need. By doing so, the complementary window will expand and, even if you change applications, it will be with you at all times.
No matter what application you are using, the ChatGPT window always appears. You can maximize it and move it to any part of the screen.
I use it a lot in particular at the same time as the Notes application or with Word to make summaries of work and projects. It’s almost like having Apple Intelligence integrated into applicationsbut without having to wait for its launch. It should be noted that all these the features are freeso we recommend you to update the app and enjoy the ChatGPT companion window from today.
