OpenAI great integration: three-in-one chat, office, and programming, the new ChatGPT desktop application is online OpenAI released an official announcement announcing the launch of a new desktop application that integrates the Codex and ChatGPT experiences into one. This move aims to enhance the AI ​​programming experience while expanding product coverage from the developer group to a wider range of non-technical users. After the update, the desktop version of Codex will transform into a brand new ChatGPT desktop application, including three core components: Chat, ChatGPT Work and Codex. After the update, the application will retain existing Codex tasks and projects. Users can also choose to continue using the Codex application icon in the settings to ensure a smooth and seamless migration process. The three major modules each perform their own duties, from chatting to programming, all in one stop. The functions of the new version of the application are clearly divided. The Chat module supports questioning, search and dialogue interaction to meet daily information query needs. The Work module is geared toward knowledge-based work scenarios and can be used to research, analyze information, and create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, reports, and websites. The Codex module is specially designed for developers. It can use local files, repositories, terminals and developer tools for software development, covering the complete work link from daily communication to office production to code writing. For users who are already using the ChatGPT desktop version, they will be prompted to download the new ChatGPT desktop application after opening the application. The old and new versions can exist at the same time. The new version is positioned as a new application that integrates chat, work and Codex. The old version has been renamed ChatGPT Classic and continues to be available without migration. It will continue to receive model updates, bug fixes, security patches and support for existing enterprise functions. However, the official also clearly reminded that the new proxy function may only be provided in the new application. The cloud and local are separated, and the data synchronization strategy is clear. In terms of data synchronization, the chat records between the ChatGPT web version and the desktop application will remain synchronized. However, the cloud Work conversation will not be displayed in the desktop version of Work when it is started, and the threads and local files of the desktop version of Work will still remain on the original computer. This design not only ensures the consistency of chat data across devices, but also takes into account the requirements for local file security and privacy in work scenarios. From the ChatGPT desktop version to Codex to today's "three-in-one" application, OpenAI is accelerating the integration of dispersed AI capabilities into a unified portal. When chatting, working, and programming can all be completed in the same application, AI assistants are evolving from a single-function tool to a productivity platform covering the entire workflow. via AI News (author: AI Base)
