New or notably improved Windows apps
AutoChat GPT - powered by Open AI
AutoChat is a frontend to interact with popular AI tools. It allows you to interact with Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and various other AIs. It supports chat, image creation, and more.
The downside is that you get limited interactions as a free user. A subscription unlocks access to more interactions. Still interesting for trying out various AIs.
