You can install ChatGPT as an app on Windows 11 (and 10), and in this guide, I’ll teach you how to complete this task. ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI that is capable of generating human-like text responses similar to the Microsoft Copilot since it uses the same technology.
Although ChatGPT is easily accessible from your web browser, third-party apps, or mobile device, it’s possible to install the chatbot as a Progressive Web App (PWA) through Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a technology enabling websites to deliver a seamless app-like experience. It gives users offline functionality, notifications, automatic updates, effortless installation, and uninstallation. However, it is up to the developer to implement these functionalities.
