OpenAI Inc is bringing its ChatGPT generative AI tool to smartphones for the first time, releasing an iPhone version on May 18 and promising a service for Android devices in the future.

The software, which is free, is now available in the US for iOS devices through Apple Inc’s App Store. With it, users can type questions and receive responses from the chatbot. It also includes voice recognition so users will be able to speak their queries, according to a Thursday blog post from the San Francisco-based startup. The bot will only respond in writing, however. The app also syncs text-based conversations across various devices.
