In more ways than one, ChatGPT is a great AI chatbot. Whether you want to write a short article, create a video script, compose a leave email, or clear doubts regarding an unknown topic, it’s got you covered – to a good extent. Of course, the AI chatbot is not perfect and does have plenty of loopholes but no one can deny the fact that it’s a pretty handy tool. Follow along to learn how to add ChatGPT to Mac’s menu bar for quick access.
How to Access ChatGPT to Mac’s Menu Bar
First off, let’s find out how this hack works so that you have a clear understanding!
Now, you must be wondering how to tuck the ChatGPT icon into Mac’s menu bar. Well, thanks to a neat software called “MacGPT”, it has become possible to show ChatGPT on the menu bar on Mac.
Developed by a noted developer “Jordi Bruin”, MacGPT is available for free and works like a charm. Yeah, you read that right! You don’t need to shell out any bucks to get the most out of this super cool software.
As to how the integration works, MacGPT is designed to reproduce everything that OpenAI’s ChatGPT consists of and allows you to access the entire library right from inside the app. In short, you can invoke ChatGPT and start new conversations with the chatbot from the MacGPT’s interface.
What’s more, this useful Mac app also offers you the flexibility to add an icon to Mac’s menu bar for hassle-free access. Another cool feature that has caught my attention is the ability to make the MacGPT window always appear on top so that you can access it with utmost ease.
Which Macs are Compatible with MacGPT?
Keep in mind that MacGPT supports only macOS 12 Monterey, macOS 13 Ventura, or later. Hence, be sure you have a compatible device. In other words, so long as your Mac can run Monterey/Ventura, you will be able to use this software.
