ChatGPT can become the next big thing for your mobile app

ChatGPT has changed the world of technology forever within 50 days of its launch. Its newest version, ChatGPT4, is also ready to cook up the storm with its nearly magical capabilities to read and explain photo and video input.?

But beyond all the hype, the language model behind ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) brings indefinite generative capabilities to the table, which you can weave into your mobile app development strategy.?

For example, the ever-popular language learning app Duolingo has recently rolled out Duolingo Max, a new subscription tier with the twist of GPT-4. The new add-on is designed to tailor lessons to students, using the AI to power features like “Explain My Answer” and “Roleplay.”

ChatGPT has also set up a home in the Quizlet app as a personal learning coach that can test a student’s knowledge of educational content, ask in-depth questions, test reading comprehension, and whatnot.

In that same vein, Instacart and Shopify have joined the ChatGPT frenzy to supplement in-app customer service and provide users with shoppable answers. And you know there’s something to ChatGPT if high-performers are hopping on this trend.

How Does ChatGPT Impact Mobile App Development??

The best part about ChatGPT is its human touch. The tool can perform characteristically ’human’ tasks, evolve as it learns, and serve a higher range of concepts compared to traditional chatbots.?

So how can this raft of superpowers make your mobile application better? Let’s break it down.

Chatbots - More natural, human-like engagement

ChatGPT can take the chatbot feature to a new level by making it more advanced and intelligent. As the algorithm learns from a trove of data and elaborates on that knowledge, ChatGPT can help your chatbot deliver more accurate and tailored responses to users. This technology means that your ChatGPT-powered chatbot can now respond to complex queries and even recognize the emotions and intent behind the user’s response.?

Internet of Things - Connected conversational experiences

GPT allows you to turn your smart home hardware into a network of social IoT devices, so you don’t feel lonely anymore. With the algorithm, every IoT device can be controlled with a voice, engaging in a conversation with the user. Conversational IoT devices can also recognize the owner’s behavior pattern, analyze door cam footage and send a message when your Mom is at the door (or your neighbor is trying to steal your package).

Personalized recommendations - Narrow down user preferences

Developers can also employ ChatGPT algorithms to revolutionize how the application serves user recommendations. By looking deeply into the user’s behavior, chatbots can quickly narrow down the list of options and develop accurate suggestions for products or services.?

Customer support - Better, round-the-clock support

ChatGPT can also add a unique flair to the customer support feature in your mobile app. Not only is the algorithm always there to resolve an issue, but it also boosts user satisfaction by providing high-value solutions to common problems.?

For example, in a healthcare app, a GPT-based bot can improve a patient’s compliance with medical prescriptions or provide emotional assistance to the user.

Mobile app development assistant - Co-piloting developers

The latest version of ChatGPT, ChatGPT4, is a multi-modular model with a human-like vision. So it has no problem generating app previews based on your rough design sketches. And it doesn’t stop here.?

After that, you can ask the GPT to compile a simple code for one of the screens. Now, you have a solid starting point for your app.

Ability to learn over time - Unmatched flexibility and versatility

And even if you don’t hit it off with the algorithm on the first try, you can always iterate on it. ChatGPT’s ability to gain knowledge from interactions is one of its key advantages.?

When interacting with humans, it can adjust its reactions, gradually becoming more precise and organic; this capability means that the tool can come in handy for various use cases, potentially making it a potent instrument for mobile app development.

Mobile games - In-game conversations with NPCs

With the Generative Pre-trained Transformer, game NPCs can snatch a lot more limelight than they do now. Instead of heavily computed dialogues, NPCs will be able to respond dynamically to the player and initiate an actual, voiced conversation. Additionally, GPT allows NPCs to improvise, allowing for deeper NPC interactions and social simulation.

And it’s not a pipe dream. NetEase, a Chinese developer and game publisher, have announced that they will be implementing ChatGPT into their MMO Justice Online Mobile.

ChatGPT Is Just the Beginning

They say we’re in a golden age of AI. While this point is debatable, it’s clear that machine intelligence is already used widely behind the scenes to impact our everyday lives. For mobile app developers and owners, ChatGPT is a powerful tool to boost user engagement and offer unique experiences.?
