ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI. It is a cutting-edge language model that can engage in natural and meaningful conversations with users. To use ChatGPT, you need to access it through a web browser. OpenAI has recently launched an official app for Android and iOS. However, for Windows, there is no official ChatGPT app available.
Nevertheless, an unofficial ChatGPT installer package is available on GitHub, providing the simplest method to install and use ChatGPT as a standalone Windows app. Please note that we don’t recommend using it, as it is unofficial. If you still wish to use the ChatGPT app on the Windows operating system, you can install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App). In this guide, we’ll discuss how to install ChatGPT as a PWA using Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers on Windows 11. So, let’s get started.
