OpenAI is set to introduce its latest update to ChatGPT on Mac. It includes integration with third-party apps. This update is followed by the introduction of an exclusive native ChatGPT app for macOS users at the beginning of this year.
The integration of ChatGPT with macOS applications
The new update from OpenAI is a hot topic in the tech arena, their initiative in the integration of ChatGPT services with the macOS third-party apps and the development toolset Xcode was warmly welcomed by the entire community. This update from OpenAI allows users to access the on-screen content of specific third-party applications by using ChatGPT. From now on, users can ask ChatGPT to read the on-screen content of third-party applications and ChatGPT can prompt the contents. The third-party apps mentioned above are applications like VS Code, iTerm, Terminal, and Apple’s Xcode.
According to a source available on the internet, a demo of the updated feature was done, and as a result, ChatGPT was able to analyze and understand a code from Apple’s Xcode project. After decoding the code from the Xcode project, ChatGPT provided code suggestions without too much intervention from the user. The user didn’t have to manually copy and paste the on-screen content into the ChatGPT app. As per the demo test, this latest updated feature of the ChatGPT app enables it to read the content even from more than one application at the same time.
Users will be given control over the application permission, which means users can easily control which application can be viewed and tracked by ChatGPT.

And the rollout for other users will be in the upcoming weeks. According to ChatGPT, all Enterprise and Education users can expect the feature soon and will be available to them in no time. The feature will be eventually available to all users in the near future although the exact date is unknown.
Privacy concern is said to be an issue regarding the multi-app integration process in the devices. Users will be concerned about the privacy measures that come along with the latest feature. According to OpenAI, users can control the access of ChatGPT over a specific application.
Users will have the autonomous right to choose which application can be accessed by ChatGPT via this feature. The provision for managing the permission access can enhance the user experience and build trust among the users.
New update from ChatGPT, a useful one to developers?
This latest update from ChatGPT will be a highly beneficial one to the developers. After the update of third-party integration, ChatGPT is capable of reading and understanding the coding information from multiple applications without too much effort from the respective user. This will be a very helpful feature for the developers who are working with developer tools.
ChatGPT can interact with developer tools like VS Code, Terminal, iTerm2, and Xcode. So this feature will make the jobs of developers easier and enhance their efficiency using artificial intelligence. The feature is still in its early stages, the integration of ChatGPT with macOS third-party applications does not apply to certain applications. We can expect the increased number of developer tools and applications that come under this feature.
Users can download the ChatGPT application for Apple devices from OpenAI’s official website. The application is available for free. And users can enjoy the app integration feature of ChatGPT once they are enabled the premium subscription. For additional information, OpenAI is on the verge of introducing its ChatGPT application which is exclusively designed for Windows. This application will be available from today and no additional cost will be required to use it.
