Fluid AI Assistant is so much better than ChatGPT in one key way
Since ChatGPT dropped in late 2022, we have made significant progress in deploying AI software on our devices. Generative AI powers new features in all sorts of apps. We're also witnessing the early days of personal AI assistants that do more than just answer questions. They can control various app features on phones and computers.
But we're not close to the AI experience I'm after. I can't wait to have the same AI assistant run on all my devices, allowing me to control them via voice and text. That AI will then follow my instructions and help me do whatever I want with little or no effort on my part. Apple Intelligence might be the closest experience to that, but it'll still be an early version of Apple AI and Siri when it debuts later this year.
For example, I want to be able to tell this virtual assistant to search for information, adjust my iPhone or Mac's settings, take screenshots, download files, and send emails, all without leaving whatever app I'm using at the time. This AI would know everything about me, and that's the key feature to taking multitasking to a whole new level.
To get there, I need to trust AI with my data. Put differently, powerful AI assistants will have to run locally on my devices and avoid sending data to servers.
While I'll have to wait for any of those dreams to become a reality, there is one on-device AI assistant similar to ChatGPT that you can try right now. It's called Fluid AI Assistant, and it runs entirely on your Mac. That alone makes it so much more appealing to me than ChatGPT, at least where privacy is concerned.
