Apple Watch users can now access the popular chatbot ChatGPT from OpenAI through a dedicated app. It can also be used to share the bot’s responses via text, email, and social media.
The app is currently available in India for $3.99 (approximately Rs. 328). It works only on devices running iOS 13.0 or later and the download is 2.6MB in size.
Features
If you own an Apple Watch, you can now access ChatGPT directly on your wrist. Dutch developer Hidde van der Ploeg has published an app dubbed watchGPT on the App Store that allows you to access the AI chatbot.
Users can ask ChatGPT questions via text or voice input, and the results are displayed in a long format that they can share via email, SMS, or social media. The application can be set up as a complication on the watch face for quick access.
The app is available in English, French, and Spanish and can be downloaded from the App Store for a one-time fee of 4.99 Euros. It is 2.6MB in size and requires iOS 13.0 or later.
Pricing
A dedicated WatchGPT app grants Apple Watch users access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a large language model that can understand and respond to natural language queries. It can be downloaded for a one-time cost of $3.99 (approximately Rs. 328).
The app works via the watch screen and can be set as a complication to give users quick access to it. It also supports voice input, which makes it even more convenient to use.
The application promises to bring new updates with features like the option to use one’s own API key, access history, and the ability to follow vocal input by default as well as allowing responses to be read out by the app itself. In addition, WatchGPT has the potential to monitor blood glucose levels with a technology based on optical absorption spectroscopy coupled with a specialized chip known as silicon photonics that will throw light at predefined wavelengths.

Apple Watch Gains ChatGPT Support via Dedicated App
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab behind chatbot ChatGPT, has launched a dedicated watchOS app that allows users to interact with the bot directly from their wrist. Its replies can be shared via text, email, and social media.
It is currently available for $3.99 (roughly Rs320) on the App Store in English, Dutch, French, and Spanish. Future updates will allow you to use your own API key, access past conversations, and make voice input easier by default.
Despite its capabilities, ChatGPT has drawn scrutiny for generating false or unintended responses to questions. Teachers are worried that students will use it to cheat, while professional writers across a variety of industries are concerned it could take their jobs away.
Despite the limitations, ChatGPT’s ability to write essays and answer questions has been a boon for many people. It’s also become a hot topic in the business world, with management from a variety of companies including oil giants, banks, and industrial behemoth Caterpillar talking about how it’s impacted their customer service.
Installation
ChatGPT is a chatbot that can quickly and easily answer questions or prompts. It can also compose teleplays, poetry and song lyrics, as well as write test answers or student essays.
But as Bleeping Computer notes, ChatGPT’s capabilities can lead to some serious ethical and moral concerns if it doesn’t properly screen for inappropriate content. It can unknowingly breed misinformation, write phishing emails or be sexist or racist.
If you want to use ChatGPT on your Apple Watch, you’ll need to add it as a complication. To do that, follow the steps in this guide.
Another method is to create a ChatGPT Shortcut on iOS using the Shortcuts app. This shortcut will allow you to input text or voice into the AI chatbot, then it’ll perform an API call and show its response.
