Hello everyone! Today is the 11th day of the ChatGPT product launch . OpenAI product leader Kevin Wheel and two of his colleagues revealed to us the latest progress of ChatGPT on the Mac side , especially major upgrades in the fields of programming and writing .
Kevin mentioned at the beginning that in the past six months, OpenAI has invested a lot of energy in desktop applications. From the Mac desktop version released six months ago to the Windows desktop version two months ago, the entire product has entered a new stage of development.
ChatGPT is no longer just a simple question and answer tool, it is gradually becoming an intelligent assistant for users, and can even actively help you complete more tasks. For example, with the new feature Canvas , you can not only collaborate with ChatGPT to complete writing, but also optimize the code. This "actively helping you complete tasks" approach is becoming the future trend of ChatGPT.
Doesn’t it feel like this feature is a warm-up for tomorrow’s release? Do you have the idea: "Agent mode is coming"?
Kevin emphasized the advantages of the desktop version: "What desktop applications can do, the browser window is far beyond the reach." The desktop version can directly read screen information, automatically handle tasks, and even integrate other desktop applications with your authorization.
Moreover, the use of these functions is completely under the user's control, and ChatGPT will never "peep the screen" without authorization. Kevin also revealed that OpenAI plans to launch more exciting features in 2025 , but today it has brought enough amazing upgrades.
The next presentation was hosted by John Nestos and Justin Rushing, two desktop version development leaders, focusing on the core functions of ChatGPT desktop version for Mac :
Lightweight and fast : it takes up less resources, runs smoothly, and can be used quickly anytime and anywhere.
One-click switching : Use the shortcut key "Option+Space" to quickly call up ChatGPT without switching context.
Application interaction artifact : Through an entry button, ChatGPT can work seamlessly with computer applications.
Especially the third point is simply a revolution in productivity! For example, if you are working in the Warp terminal and you need to count the commit frequency of a certain code base in the past two months, you only need to:
Click Warp in the app list (no need to manually enter context).
Direct question: "Write a command to count the number of submissions per day in the past two months."
ChatGPT will automatically generate commands to make it easy.
This method of cross-application collaboration undoubtedly greatly improves work efficiency.
This upgrade of ChatGPT is not only a multi-tasking process, but also an innovation in cross-application collaboration . For example, ChatGPT can not only generate code for you, but also directly help you create histograms , combining code generation with data visualization to achieve almost instant output results.
Justin demonstrated how to use ChatGPT to create a "bar chart with a holiday submission theme". From code generation to chart production, the entire process only requires simple instructions. The results can be visualized immediately and easily displayed to bosses and colleagues.
In addition to collaboration with terminal tools, ChatGPT's performance in IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) cannot be underestimated. John demonstrated how to use ChatGPT in Xcode IDE. Through the shortcut key "Option+Shift+1" , ChatGPT can be directly connected to Xcode , identify the interface content, and help complete complex code modifications.
For example, ChatGPT was used to add a live updated observer functionality . Although the process went through some "live broadcast rollover" episodes, in the end the code ran perfectly. ChatGPT also supports multiple development tools, including VS Code , JetBrains , PyCharm , RubyMine , TextMate , Deviant Edit series, MATLAB , etc.
Not only developers, but writers have also received a big upgrade. John announced that ChatGPT officially supports three mainstream writing applications: Apple Notes , Notion and Quip . This means that writers can seamlessly call ChatGPT in these tools to quickly polish, organize or create content.
A developer demonstrated on-site how to use ChatGPT in Notion to improve a walking tour of the history of San Francisco, which improved the quality of the information and saved a lot of time.
In addition, ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode can also work seamlessly with the application, further enhancing its usefulness in daily work.
Tomorrow is the last day of OpenAI’s 12-day press conference. Kevin said that tomorrow’s release will make everyone super excited, and the saxophone band that has already begun to warm up will play the climax of the conference.
Wondering what surprises tomorrow will bring? Let us look forward to it together!
AI courses are suitable for people who are interested in artificial intelligence technology, including but not limited to students, engineers, data scientists, developers, and professionals in AI technology.
The course content ranges from basic to advanced. Beginners can choose basic courses and gradually go into more complex algorithms and applications.
Learning AI requires a certain mathematical foundation (such as linear algebra, probability theory, calculus, etc.), as well as programming knowledge (Python is the most commonly used programming language).
You will learn the core concepts and technologies in the fields of natural language processing, computer vision, data analysis, and master the use of AI tools and frameworks for practical development.
You can work as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, or apply AI technology to innovate in all walks of life.
