Little by little, ChatGPT is gaining a foothold on Apple devices thanks to third-party companies and developers. We can use it through Bing, we can have it on the Apple Watch… and now a developer has brought to life what is perhaps the best way to take advantage of this generative AI.
Indian developer Tanmay Sonawane has created AnyGPT: an application for macOS with which you can integrate ChatGPT into any application on our Mac. And when I say any app, I mean any app.
The best integration is the one you don’t see
Introducing my new app – AnyGPT: ChatGPT in ANY app on macOS.
Just type gpt: followed by the prompt and press Enter to get the result immediately without losing the context.
Ex. in iMessage, gpt type: suggest 10 vacation spots near New York ⏎

The system is simple and ingenious and you can see it in the tweet above: with AnyGPT, you can ask ChatGPT for commands in any macOS app you can write to. you just need type “gpt: ” followed by the command you want Tap the AI and you’ll get the answer right there.
The examples provided by the author are adequate: in iMessage you can ask for plans to do with friends next weekend, in Textedit you can ask ChatGPT to write the template of a document to polish, in Mail, you can ask him to write the model of a formal letter… although the best example is the one in Xcode you can ask me to write you functions in Swift to help you program an application.
The integration is so tight that I dare say this is what Apple should be doing if it plans to build its own generative AI in the future. Simple and without modifying anything: you order the order where you want and that’s it.
You can download AnyGPT from its official website for a one-time payment of $9.99. Keep in mind that to use it you will need to have an OpenAI account (and its included API key) either with free capacity available or with an active paid subscription.
