YakGPT is a simple, open-source and free ChatGPT UI application that runs locally in your browser and does not require you to visit the official website or install any applications. It uses the Open AI key and hence it runs faster by directly connecting to the API.
YakGPT also provides an additional advantage of Microphone integration. Hence, you can directly speak out the text prompts with the mic instead of text typing.
Working:
