Highlights
- ChatGPT for Android now out
- iOS version already available for users
- OpenAI saw drop in web traffic for ChatGPT
OpenAI has released the ChatGPT for Android app on the Google Play Store, following the successful launch of the free iOS app for iPhones and iPads a few months ago. The Android app is initially available in the United States, India, Bangladesh, and Brazil, with plans for a staged rollout in other countries similar to what was done for the iOS version. The app is 5.12 MB and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
Drop in web traffic for ChatGPT
The decision to launch the Android app came amidst reports of a decline in web traffic and app installations for June based on data from Sensor Tower and Similarweb. In its earlier stages, ChatGPT experienced explosive success but faced competition when Threads was introduced, leaving uncertainty about whether the hype will continue or if it has reached a plateau.
Notably, OpenAI's GPT-4 model is also behind the Bing AI chatbot, available on Android, while Google's Bard AI is solely accessible through a web interface. While many tech companies are incorporating AI-powered tools into mobile apps, Apple has not yet unveiled its chatbot, although there are reports of internal testing being conducted, as mentioned by Bloomberg.
The AI chatbot revolution
Over the years, ChatGPT has become a prominent player in the tech ecosystem, attracting users globally with its powerful language capabilities. Its expansion to Android further broadens its reach, allowing more users to benefit from its AI-powered chatbot.
As the technology behind ChatGPT continues to evolve, it will likely have a profound impact on various industries and how people interact with AI systems. OpenAI's efforts in making advanced language models accessible through dedicated apps have set a trend for other companies to explore similar opportunities, indicating a transformative shift in the mobile app landscape. With the continuous growth and improvements in AI technology, ChatGPT's influence is set to shape the future of human-computer interactions and the broader tech landscape.
