FridayGPT Mac App REVIEW

A versatile AI companion for Mac users

I’m not ashamed to say that I use AI platforms like ChatGPT everyday. It really does help my workflow be more efficient and It’s helped greatly by providing a single source for research materials. While it’s definitely infallible, it does give me a starting place when I have no idea where to start. The one downside to it is that I’m confined to one AI model by using ChatGPT. That is why FridayGPT was created. It gives macOS users a place to use AI systems without the restriction of only using one model. WIth FridayGPT, you can use OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Ollama, LM Studio, or Together AI just by entering one of their API keys.

About FridayGPT

FridayGPT is an AI-powered assistant designed specifically for Mac users, integrating advanced language models like ChatGPT directly into your desktop environment. This seamless integration allows users to access AI functionalities without the need to switch between applications or maintain separate accounts.

    User Experience

    The general setup of the app isn’t difficult, but you do have to find the right AI model that’s going to work best for you. The OpenAI model is probably the most well-known, but the others that are included are solid options as well. This step is really the only issue I had with the app. The Onboarding Guide and the YouTube setup guide don’t provide any guidance on which model to you. I started with OpenAI, but discovered that even though you don’t have to use the Pro version of the platform, you do have to pay for the API.

    After trying Ollama and Anthropic, I settled on Groq’s model “llama3-70b-8192”. Since I frequently use ChatGPT through the web browser or Mac app, I decided to run a couple of queries through both platforms and see how the answers might differ.

    Prompt #1: Write a short story about a Disney-like princess who saves a prince from an evil queen. The tone should be similar to a Hallmark Christmas Movie. It should be no longer than 250 words.

    The Snowflake Princess

    In the snowy kingdom of Eldoria, Princess Celeste was known for her kindness and love of winter’s magic. One frosty evening, she discovered that Prince Alaric of Evermere had been captured by the wicked Queen Morana, who sought to keep him frozen in her ice palace forever.

    Determined to save him, Celeste journeyed through enchanted forests and across frozen lakes, her heart warmed by the spirit of the season. With a sprinkle of snowflake magic, a few friendly woodland creatures, and a sleigh guided by a glowing stag, she arrived at Morana’s castle.

    The queen sneered. “You cannot break my spell, little princess.”

    But Celeste smiled, her voice as soft as falling snow. “True love’s warmth is stronger than your ice.”

    As she touched Alaric’s frozen hand, a golden light shimmered, melting the ice around him. He blinked awake, warmth returning to his cheeks. Morana shrieked as the magic of Celeste’s love and kindness shattered her dark spell, restoring warmth to the land.

    Hand in hand, Celeste and Alaric rode back to Eldoria, where a grand winter ball awaited. Under twinkling lights and drifting snowflakes, they danced, knowing that love, kindness, and a little holiday magic had saved the day.

    And so, as the bells chimed midnight, the kingdom rejoiced, for winter had never felt warmer.

    Winter Hearts Entwined

    In the snow-kissed kingdom of Everwood, Princess Sophia’s heart was as warm as the winter fire that crackled in the castle hearth. When she discovered that handsome Prince Henry had been imprisoned by the wicked Queen Malicia, Sophia knew she had to act. Gathering her trusty companions, a wise owl named Olwen and a loyal steed named Starlight, Sophia set out to rescue the prince.

    As they journeyed through the forest, Sophia’s kindness and compassion touched the hearts of all they met, from the friendly woodsman who offered them shelter to the tiny snowflakes that gently fell around them.

    Finally, they reached the dark castle where Prince Henry languished in chains. Sophia confronted the evil queen, her bravery and love illuminating the darkness. With a gentle touch, Sophia freed Prince Henry, and together they escaped the castle.

    As they rode back to Everwood, Sophia and Prince Henry’s eyes met, and their hearts beat as one. The kingdom rejoiced at their return, and Sophia’s selflessness inspired a season of love and giving. On Christmas Eve, beneath the twinkling stars, Sophia and Prince Henry exchanged vows, surrounded by friends, family, and the magic of the winter wonderland. It was a Christmas to remember, one that would warm the hearts of the people of Everwood for generations to come.

    In this particular case it was interesting to see the similarities between the two stories as well as the format. I did note that FridayGPT seemed to be much quicker than ChatGPT did in finishing its draft.

    FridayGPT

    Since there is no iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro (the latest models available are iPhone 13 series), I’ll provide you with the main differences between the latest available models, iPhone 13 Pro and the rumored upcoming iPhone 14 Pro. Please note that the information about iPhone 14 Pro is based on leaks and rumors and is subject to change.

    iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro:

    Design: iPhone 14 Pro is expected to have a slightly smaller notch, thinner bezels, and a more seamless design. Cameras:** iPhone 14 Pro might feature a new periscope lens with higher zoom capabilities (up to 50x), improved low-light performance, and enhanced portrait mode features. Processors: iPhone 14 Pro will likely come with a faster A16 Bionic chip, which will provide improved performance, power efficiency, and AI capabilities. RAM and Storage: iPhone 14 Pro might have up to 16GB of RAM and start at 256GB of storage, compared to iPhone 13 Pro’s 6GB of RAM and 64GB of base storage. Battery Life: iPhone 14 Pro is rumored to have a slightly larger battery, which could lead to improved battery life. Charging: iPhone 14 Pro might support faster charging speeds (up to 30W) and potentially even reverse wireless charging. Display: iPhone 14 Pro could feature a higher refresh rate (up to 120Hz) and improved color accuracy. 5G Connectivity: iPhone 14 Pro is expected to support more 5G bands and have improved 5G performance. Colors: New color options might be added, such as a purple or blue variant.

    Keep in mind that these differences are based on rumors and leaks, and Apple has not officially announced the iPhone 14 Pro.

    As you might have noticed, FridayGPT’s response is a bit outdated. This is a problem to be aware of when using AI-based models. Sometimes they aren’t being fed the most up-to-date information. This is obviously the case with the Groq model.

    Prompt #3: What percentage of $74 is $35?

    ChatGPT

    FridayGPT

    With this prompt, I was curious to see how Friday GPT would illustrate the problem formula. It was very similar what ChatGPT provides but it is more text-based rather than image-based.

    Prompt #4: Provide alt text description for this image.

    ChatGPT

    A wooden desk displays a Corsair K65 Plus Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard and a Corsair M75 Wirelessgaming mouse, both in a blue and white color scheme. The keyboard is placed in front of its original packaging, which prominently features the product name and branding. The mouse sits to the right of the keyboard, next to its matching packaging. The keyboard has a compact, tenkeyless layout with white keycaps and blue accents, while the mouse has a sleek, ergonomic design with a blue shell and side grips. The packaging highlights Mac and PC compatibility. The scene is set against a light-colored wall with a framed artwork partially visible in the background.

    FridayGPT

    Could not provide – “Incorrect API provided.”

    This was a definite benefit of using ChatGPT natively instead of through Friday GPT because there was no API interference. ChatGPT was able to provide an answer quickly and easily because it didn’t have to pull it from another source. This type of interaction seems to be limited with FridayGPT because you have to have the correct API in order to get the right type of response. This is where it would be helpful to have guidance on which API to use for what purpose.

    Conclusion

    FridayGPT provides a versatile AI experience for macOS users by allowing access to multiple AI models through API integration. It offers a native, streamlined interface with voice-to-text features and robust workflow integration. However, it does require users to select and configure their preferred AI model, which may involve additional costs or technical considerations. While it enhances accessibility to different AI systems, it lacks clear guidance on model selection and may experience occasional outdated responses. Overall, FridayGPT is a valuable tool for those who want flexibility in AI interactions but may require some trial and error for optimal use.
