Record Mode from OpenAI on ChatGPT is coming to a wider audience this week, especially if you use a MacBook or a Mac system. The feature has been around for a while but limited to Team, Enterprise and Education users.

Now, if you have a ChatGPT Plus subscription and use a Mac system, the record mode is available to handle your meetings and let you work on more important things. OpenAI confirmed the news via a post on X this week and making its remark, “Plus users, the mic is yours." 

Record Mode For ChatGPT Plus Users: What It Offers 

As the name suggests, the record mode on ChatGPT can capture content and even process audio files and transcribe it on the Mac app. This tool comes in handy when you have to attend a meeting and can sidestep to let the AI handle the agenda, record the contents of the meeting and even listen to what everyone is saying.

The others don’t even need to know that you have let AI act as your deputy and attend the meeting. 

Features like these are not targeting the developers, instead ChatGPT can become a reliable tool for regular office users, who will have to spend on the Plus version but OpenAI seems to be saying it will be worth it. To use record mode in ChatGPT for macOS, you just need to press the Rec button which is there on the app. 

OpenAI claims the recording is done locally on the system, then uploaded to its server for processing and finally gives you a summarised view of the meeting recorded that is private to the user. Having a Plus version means the meeting is part of the chat history and you can go back to the older recordings at a later date if needed. 

The AI era is truly taking shape and we have seen companies like Google and Perplexity dish out free offers for their AI models recently. Google’s Gemini AI Pro is available to students in India for free, while the Perplexity Pro version comes free for 1 year for Airtel mobile and Wi-Fi users in the country. We expect ChatGPT to have a similar tier offering soon and it could be bundled with one of these services.
