ChatPC

ChatPC is an AI assistant and productivity tool for people using macOS. It lets you automate tasks with conversational language and integrates with many of the most widely used Mac apps, including Finder, Calendar, Mail, Notes and Safari. It can help you organize documents, extract information from files, draft email responses and manage your calendar.

One of its big advantages is custom actions, which lets you specify which actions the AI can take on its own and which need your approval. That keeps you in the loop when it comes to automation. It also has end-to-end privacy, encrypting its communications with OpenAI and not using your data to train its AI models.

Among its features:

• Document Organization: Rename and categorize files based on their content.
• Fast Answers: Create a local knowledge base from your documents so you can get answers to your questions.
• Email Management: Draft new messages, draft replies and get writing help.
• Learning Assistance: Speed up your reading, take notes and test your knowledge.
• Integration: Link to other GPT models and use the code interpreter through the ChatPC GPT, which requires an OpenAI ChatGPT Plus subscription.

The service starts with a free plan with all features, but it has a lifetime limit of 50,000 credits and 75 GPT actions. If you need more credits, you can pay for subscription plans that include more credits and other features. There's a 2-month free trial for annual subscriptions. Credits are consumed each time you use the AI, and the number of credits used depends on the length of the text you're using and the GPT model you're using.

To start, you'll need to download the ChatPC app for Mac (requires macOS 13.0 or later), add suggested actions and manage your chats. The app has a simple interface, and you can open the chat window from the MacOS menu bar and grant permissions as needed.

Using conversational language to automate tasks is designed to help you work more efficiently and free up your time for higher-level thinking. If you're looking for a way to automate some of your daily tasks, ChatPC offers an AI-powered approach that's geared for macOS users.
