Companion window for side-by-side access; data analysis gets expandable view

Companion window

The macOS desktop app now gives you side-by-side access to ChatGPT with the new companion window. It stays in front of all other windows so you can be more productive while working across ChatGPT and other apps.

Use the Option + Space shortcut to:

• Start a new chat
• Refocus the cursor to an open companion window
• Reopen the last companion window

Customize its position, reset time, and keyboard shortcut in Settings. You can also pop out a previous conversation into a companion window by clicking the icon from the main desktop app window.
