That is sooner than opening a browser, visiting the ChatGPT web site, and typing your question. The macOS app makes use of OpenAI’s GPT4o, however you possibly can change to GPT3.5.
The desktop app can do greater than the online model. You should utilize it to take screenshots, by clicking on the Pin icon that seems within the ChatGPT bar.

Customers can add information or pictures, and ChatGPT will analyze the content material, and make it prepared for interactions.
