AMNT Bot on Mac or in the browser: what is different?

Same chat screen both ways. The Mac app adds the things a web page is not allowed to do.

Quick answers

The Mac app shows the same chat as the website, in its own window. It adds files, the browser and the terminal on your computer, behind permission modes.

Same chat screen
Yes, the app opens the website's chat in a window
Only on the Mac app
Files, browser and terminal on your computer
Only in the browser
Nothing to install
Design fixes
Arrive with the website, no app update

Is it the same app?

Yes. The chat screen is built once, in the website. The Mac app opens that page in its own window, so a fix to the design reaches both at the same time.

What can only the Mac app do?

It can use files, the browser and the terminal on your own computer, with panels that show what it is doing. A web page cannot reach those, so this is the reason to install the app.

Permission modes let you decide how much it may do before asking you.

What do both of them do?

  • Chat with web search, with the sources shown
  • Pictures and SVG drawings inside the chat
  • Pick the model and how long it thinks

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the Mac app?
No. The website does chat, search, pictures and SVGs. Install the app only if you want it to work with files, the browser or the terminal on your computer.
Is my chat the same in both?
The screen is the same, because the app opens the website's chat.
Can I choose the model?
Yes. You pick the model and how long it thinks, in either.
Does it ask before it touches my files?
Permission modes decide how much it may do before it asks.
Does a design change need an app update?
No. The app shows the website, so a change arrives with the next website update.
Is there a Windows app?
Not yet.
