Description:
ChatGPTs Mac app can now save macOS developers time thanks to automatic code 
insertion.

FULL STORY
======================================================================ChatGPT 
can now automatically insert code directly into Xcode That means you no 
longer need to copy and paste code back and forth It could save developers a 
great amount of time in the long run 

One of the main uses of ChatGPT is helping with coding and programming, and 
its one of the best AI tools for that purpose. Now, the latest version is 
able to generate code and add it directly into Apples Xcode development app 
in macOS without any longwinded steps. That could help make the whole process 
run much more smoothly than before. 

In a post on X , ChatGPT developer OpenAI explained that the latest ChatGPT 
update features a new Apply button that automatically inserts the generated 
code into the correct location in your project. Theres also a toggle to 
Auto-apply code, which streamlines the workflow even further. 

Youve been able to spin up code in ChatGPT for a while now, which has helped 
make it more capable than even the best text editors for your coding needs. 
Yet ChatGPT has previously required you to manually copy and paste the 
generated output into Xcode yourself. Now, the two apps are much more tightly 
integrated. 

ChatGPT can detect the code editing app that youre using, whether thats 
Xcode, VS Code, or something else . That allows it to automatically insert 
the code it creates in the right spot. Coming to Windows soon (Image credit:

ChatGPTs developer OpenAI says that these changes are coming to all desktop 
ChatGPT users on Mac, including those on the apps free plan . It also sounds 
like these capabilities will be coming to additional apps and integrated 
development environments in the future, although OpenAI didnt specifically 
explain which ones. 

Windows users dont need to miss out either, as OpenAI staff member Alexander 
Embiricos confirmed on X that this functionality will be coming to Microsofts 
operating system soon. 

The update brings ChatGPT in line with GitHub Copilot and Xcodes own Swift 
Assist tool, which is already built into the app. Swift Assist runs on Apples 
private cloud servers, and the company says that your code is not stored or 
used for training. That might make it a more secure option than ChatGPT if 
youre concerned about your code being swept up by a third-party artificial 
intelligence (AI) tool. 

With Apples Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) set to open its doors in 
June, we could see further updates to Swift Assist at that time, and its a 
good bet that ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot will receive plenty of new features 
in the meantime. That means if youre looking for an AI coding assistant, 
youve got plenty of options. You might also like These are the AI assistants 
developers are actually using - and how they're using them ChatGPT coded a 
game for me in seconds and I am simply astounded  and coders should be very 
worried Best monitor for programming of 2025
