user-interface

OpenAI has updated its ChatGPT Mac app to restore direct access to chat conversations through a prominent sidebar toggle. The fix addresses user complaints following a July 10 redesign that replaced the native Mac client with an Electron-based app and buried the standard chat interface behind Work and Codex features.

Microsoft is removing Copilot buttons from Windows 11 apps including Notepad, Snipping Tool, Photos, and Widgets as part of a broader effort to reduce "unnecessary Copilot entry points." The underlying AI features remain intact, with Notepad's Copilot button replaced by a "writing tools" menu that retains the same AI-powered functionality.
