OpenAI's ChatGPT Comes To Android — Pre-Order Now For Early Access!

After its May launch on Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS, OpenAI has announced the launch of the Android version of the ChatGPT app next week. 

What Happened: On Friday, OpenAI tweeted the upcoming release of ChatGPT for Android next week, without specifying the exact launch date.

The company has also included a preorder page in the Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Play Store, allowing users to register and get the app installed once it becomes available.

The Android release comes just weeks after it was reported that ChatGPT experienced a drop in web traffic. Many users on Twitter also shared their concerns about GPT-4’s performance, saying it has become “dumber,” after which a Stanford University and UC Berkeley study drew the same conclusion.

OpenAI addressed this by asking users not to “change anything that would affect the outputs of a pinned model version." 

Why It's Important: In the AI chatbot landscape, ChatGPT’s once unrivaled dominance is now being challenged by a surge of competitors. Several notable competitors, including Google Bard, have already entered the scene, taking a significant portion of the pie. Even Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) search engine, Bing, has emerged as a viable alternative platform for users.

While Google Bard currently lacks dedicated mobile apps for users and instead relies solely on its web-based interface, the Bing app has been available on both Android and iOS since February.
