ChatGPT has become quite popular, especially with Bing implementing AI-powered technology in its search engine. While Bing Chat is not yet available everywhere, those who are tired of Google Assistant or Alexa’s responses and want something more from their wrist-mounted assistant may be interested in WearGPT, which works on both Wear OS 2 and Wear OS 3-powered watches. It’s important to note that WearGPT is currently running on ChatGPT-4, which has a knowledge cutoff date of September 2021 Therefore, it can only answer questions that existed before that time. However, Bing Chat provides up-to-date knowledge for questions such as “what’s the weather?” or “what’s happening in my town this weekend?
WearGPT is a freely available app on the Google Play Store that enables users to execute ChatGPT queries conveniently from their Wear OS-powered smartwatch. Follow these steps to install it on your watch:
- Go to the Google Play Store and search for the WearGPT app.
- If you’re accessing the Play Store from the web or your phone, click on “Install on more devices” and choose your watch from the options.
- If you’re using the Play Store on your watch, simply tap the “Install” button.
- Once the installation process is complete, open the app drawer on your watch and select the WearGPT app.
