owan and the ChatGPT app for Mac

You don’t have to choose. owan can think with your ChatGPT plan. Here is what it adds, and how the two differ.

Where your memory lives

ChatGPT keeps what it remembers about you in your OpenAI account, for OpenAI’s models. owan keeps what it learns in plain files on your Mac, that you can read, move and delete, and it stays with you whichever AI you use.

Which AI it thinks with

The ChatGPT app runs OpenAI’s models. owan thinks with the AI you choose: your ChatGPT plan, Claude, Gemini, a key of your own, or a model that runs offline. Switch any time and nothing it learned is lost.

Talking, or getting it done

A chat answers you. owan does the work on your Mac: it drafts replies in your voice, pulls numbers out of a deck, files things, follows up. On Pro you hand it work, walk away, and come back to it done.

It asks first

Before owan sends, pays or deletes anything, it asks you. On Pro you can undo what it did, and say yes from your phone.

Together

Keep your ChatGPT plan. Sign in to it from owan, and owan thinks with it, with everything it knows about you on your Mac. More in Bring your own AI.
