OpenAI has released an update for its ChatGPT app on Mac, introducing a significant new feature for programmers: integration with popular coding IDEs like Xcode, VS Code, TextEdit, and Terminal.
This update streamlines the coding workflow by allowing ChatGPT to directly interact with code within these applications. Previously, users had to manually copy and paste code between ChatGPT and their IDE, which could be time-consuming and inefficient.
With the new integration, ChatGPT can understand code from an Xcode project or other supported IDEs and provide code suggestions without manual copying and pasting. It can even read content from multiple apps simultaneously, which is particularly useful for developers working with various tools.
This feature is currently available for ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Teams users, with support for Enterprise and Education users expected in the future. This update positions ChatGPT as a more powerful tool for programmers on Mac, enhancing productivity and simplifying the coding process.
