OpenAI highlights the Android app’s improved security measures compared to the web version. It will also offer features like conversation history synchronization across devices, similar to the iOS version.

By introducing Android and iOS apps, OpenAI directly competes with Microsoft’s Bing Chat, which also utilizes OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology. The apps are an alternative means to test large language models (LLMs) without relying on a web browser.

The release coincides with Google rolling out its Bard chatbot in the European Union and Brazil. Other competitors are also emerging, such as Anthropic, with its Claude 2 assistant, which offers functionalities surpassing OpenAI’s paid version of ChatGPT. ChatGPT witnessed a decline in traffic in June — the first since its launch.

The crypto community has broadly embraced ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, with some even utilizing the technology to develop new tokens.
