Addicted to ChatGPT? are you like so many othersPushing the limits of what an artificial intelligence can do by giving OpenAI’s chatbot increasingly difficult tasks, only to be increasingly amazed (well, sometimes) at how well it can understand you?
If you own a Mac computer, it’s now easier than ever to communicate with ChatGPT right from your desktop.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT has answers to life’s great mysteries (just not real ones)
developer Jordy Brun launched an app called MenuGPT (via MacGeneration) that adds an icon to the menu bar. If you click on it, you will get a chat window where you can communicate with ChatGPT without using your browser. It’s also possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to the app, so you can launch the ChatGPT window with a simple keyboard shortcut.

The app has one downside: you can’t log into your OpenAI account using hardware security keys, which is a requirement for interacting with ChatGPT. Instead, you need to log in through your browser, after which you can use MenuGPT to launch the chat window.
The app is free, although Bruin accepts donations that go toward his Christmas tree.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down. It took the chatbot less than a week to traverse a million users, and people are constantly finding new ways to use it. Check out some of our favorite examples.
