About Petey

Petey is an AI assistant app designed for Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad, leveraging the GPT model to provide intelligent responses and assistance. It allows users to interact with ChatGPT directly from their wrist or mobile device, with features like Apple Music playlist creation, Apple Maps location viewing, rich URL previews, conversation history, text-to-speech, and Shortcuts integration to replace Siri. The app supports GPT-4 via an optional in-app purchase and also lets users add their own OpenAI API key for greater control and potential cost savings. Additional iOS/iPadOS features include Live Activities for multitasking, full conversation sharing, and direct link handling. Petey is free to download with optional in-app purchases for GPT-4 access.

FAQ

Why do I have to pay extra for GPT-4?
The latest GPT model comes with higher costs, so the developer charges a separate optional upgrade for those who want to use GPT-4, rather than raising the overall price or making it mandatory.
What is the knowledge cutoff date for Petey?
When using the base GPT model, Petey has information up to September 2021. If using GPT-4 Turbo, the cutoff date extends to April 2023.
Can I use my own API key with Petey?
Yes, you can add your own OpenAI API key for more control and to use GPT-4 at your own cost, and it also lets you opt-out of the Petey for iOS subscriptions.
