ChatGPT for Mac Now Works With Apps Like Xcode, Terminal, More [Video]

ChatGPT for macOS has been updated to work with apps like Xcode, Terminal, TextEdit, and more.

ChatGPT for macOS can now work with apps on your desktop. In this early beta for Plus and Team users, you can let ChatGPT look at coding apps to provide better answers.

For most apps, the feature uses Apple's macOS Accessibility API to query content. For VS Code, you'll need to install a VS Code extension to query content.




OpenAI explained how the feature works in a new support document...

How to work with apps
To work with a compatible app, first make sure it's running. Then, in the ChatGPT chat bar, click the Work With Apps button and select a compatible application.




You'll see a banner over the chat bar indicating which apps ChatGPT is working with. When you send a message, ChatGPT will include content from those apps with your message. (Conversely, if you don't see this banner, ChatGPT is not working with any of your apps and will not include any additional content with your message.)

You can mouse over the banner to see what content ChatGPT will include with your message:



Once you hit send, ChatGPT will reply using any additional content and selection included from Work with Apps. You can see what ChatGPT looked at in your chat:



This content becomes part of your chat history and is saved in your account until you delete it. Once you delete a chat or delete your account, chats are deleted from our systems within 30 days, unless they have previously been de-identified and disassociated from your account, or we have to keep them for security or legal reasons. To learn more about data controls, see the Data Controls FAQ.

What content is included along with messages?
When working with editors & IDEs (Xcode, VS Code, TextEdit)
● ChatGPT includes the full content of open editor panes in the foremost window, up to a truncation limit. If you select text in an editor, ChatGPT focuses on your selection. (The full content of that pane is still included as context.)

When working with terminals (Terminal, iTerm)
● ChatGPT includes the last 200 lines of open panes. If you select text in a pane, ChatGPT focuses on the selection and includes neighboring text up to a truncation limit.

You can see which of your apps on your computer are compatible by going to Settings > Work with Apps > Manage Apps.
