I'm seeing this recent onslaught of mobile and desktop apps for all the popular LLMs, but do they offer any functionality beyond a simple web wrapper? I have already had claude.ai pinned to my home screen for a while now.
- 999900000999 2y agoAt least for Chat GPT, the key thing is I can leave the app and let it work in the background. This is only really an issue on mobile devices though...
- paxys 2y agoWhat does it do in the background though?
- 999900000999 2y agoAs in I can tell chat gpt to look up if the Lakers won last night, switch back to YouTube and come back to it. On a mobile browser you just have to wait.
- paxys 2y agoWhy can't you switch out of the browser and come back?
- 999900000999 2y agoChat GPT will stop running in the background if it's in a mobile browser.
- paxys 2y agoChatGPT is running on the server. When you leave the browser, the response will keep getting generated, and will be there when you come back.
- BoorishBears 2y agoPeople want apps. Even if it's just a web wrapper. Even if a PWA would serve the same function. They just want an app icon that behaves the same as their other app icons, is delivered by searching in their app store, and multitasks like its own app.
