OpenAI Launches ChatGPT App for Windows: Download and Access Guide

OpenAI has introduced a native ChatGPT app for Windows, allowing users to quickly access the AI assistant right from their desktops. While ChatGPT was previously accessible on Android, iOS, and macOS, this is the first dedicated app for Windows. Currently, the Windows app is limited to paid users, including ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu subscribers, but a version for all users is expected later this year.

A Long-Awaited Release for Windows Users

Previously, Windows users had limited ways to access ChatGPT. They either needed to visit the ChatGPT website or rely on Windows Copilot, a built-in feature with limited AI chatbot capabilities. With this new app, OpenAI has provided Windows users with an easier, more direct way to chat with ChatGPT without using a web browser or other workarounds.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI announced: “Today, ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu users can start testing an early version of the Windows desktop app. Get faster access to ChatGPT on your PC with the Alt + Space shortcut.” This shortcut allows users to pull up the app instantly, making it a convenient addition for anyone using ChatGPT frequently.

Key Features of the ChatGPT Windows App

The Windows app brings several useful features from ChatGPT’s mobile and macOS versions:

• Alt + Space Shortcut: This shortcut provides quick access to ChatGPT, letting users call up the AI assistant without navigating to another app or window.
• Minimizable Window: The app allows users to minimize ChatGPT, making it easier to keep the assistant accessible in the background while multitasking.
• Core Functionality from Other Versions: The app includes the ability to upload images, access to GPT-4, and OpenAI’s O1 preview, similar to what’s available on the macOS, Android, and iOS apps.

However, some options aren’t yet available on the Windows version, such as advanced voice mode and integration with OpenAI’s GPT store. These features may arrive in future updates, particularly as OpenAI prepares a full release for all users later in the year.
