With the release of the desktop version of GPT-4 omni, you can now bring the full power of this amazing AI directly to your computer, whether you’re running macOS or Windows. In this post, I will tell you everything you need to know about this new version, from how to install it to when the features presented in the official demo will be available.
Availability
The desktop version of GPT-4 is available for macOS and Windows operating systems. Installing GPT-4 on your computer is a simple process. Follow these steps to get everything up and running in no time.
Installation steps:
- Download the Installer: Visit the official OpenAI website and download the installer for your operating system.
- Run the Installer: Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Initial Setup: Once installed, open the application and complete the initial setup process, including logging in with your OpenAI  account.
In my case, I could install the desktop application on my Mac, although it was not operational until a week later. It appears that there may be some waiting list in the use of it.
Application interface
The ChatGPT application stands out for its minimalist interface, which is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. At the bottom is a space for writing messages, a clip for attaching files, a microphone for dictating messages, and a symbol that activates the conversation mode.
Key functionalities
- Foreground use: The application has an option to remain always visible on the screen, which is useful for real-time work. This feature allows you to interact with ChatGPT without having to switch windows.
- Conversation mode: ChatGPT for desktop includes a conversation mode that listens for voice commands and allows continuous interaction. This mode is ideal for tasks that require smooth and constant communication with the AI. In this sense, I am looking forward to the release of the new features shown in the demo of this model, which are not yet available.
- Shortcuts and commands: One of the most useful features of the application is the ability to invoke commands from anywhere in the system. For example, by pressing the OPTION key and the space bar (this is something you can configure from the tool’s menu), you can write a message to ChatGPT without opening the application.
- Interaction with files: The application allows you to analyze and drill down documents efficiently. You can upload files as PDFs or images and ask ChatGPT to analyze and explain them. This functionality is especially useful for understanding complex documents, such as tax reports.
- Screen capture and analysis: Another interesting feature is the ability to capture screenshots and perform screen-based interactions directly in ChatGPT. This can be very useful for tasks such as reviewing web content, programming and more.
- Real-time searches: The application can also perform real-time searches and analyze data, providing fast and accurate answers. For example, you can inquire about sporting events and get instant updates.
- Configuration and customization: ChatGPT can be customized to respond according to the user’s preferences. In addition, all settings and data collected by the application can be managed to ensure an optimal experience.
Integration with applications and voice queries:
Integration with productivity applications will allow users to automate tasks from their own computers in a very efficient way. The use of vision and image recognition directly from our displays opens up an incredible range of use cases. In the previous video by Xavier Mitjana, you can see these integrations with Google Drive, among others in operation.
On the other hand, the use of voice to perform queries will dramatically increase our productivity through fluid and natural conversations with AI.
The desktop version of GPT-4o brings with it a host of possibilities for macOS and Windows users. Whether you need to generate content, attend virtual meetings, or even develop software, GPT-4o is designed to enhance your productivity and creativity. Feel free to explore all the features it offers and stay tuned for new updates that OpenAI will continue to release.
