To use Easychat AI you’ll need to provide your own OpenAI API key.

It’s notexactlythe same as OpenAI’s own app, but it’s pretty damn close.

The main difference is that when you use the official ChatGPT client you just login and go.

Easychat AI doesn’t require an account, but it does require anOpenAI API key.

There is no backend to this app, it’s all handled locally.

This means something important in terms of monetization.

Generating a new playlist for Spotify using Easychat AI.

Right now, that comes in the form of a one-off lifetime upgrade to access premium features.

This gives you unlimited queries and the ability to use the app on up to 10 devices.

Imagine if we still had Windows phones to use it on as well.

Free upgrade in Easychat AI

For the time being you can unlock the premium upgrade totally free.

Other features include Markdown support for enhanced responses, and your choice of a light or dark theme.

But how is it to use?

Well, it’s fast, just like ChatGPT, and naturally delivers the same level of response.

If I had one criticism it would be that ChatGPT seems to handle formatting better than Easychat AI.

Minor criticism aside, Easychat AI is a nicely done ChatGPT app.

Grab it for free and try it for yourself right now in theMicrosoft Store.
