How to use WearGPT
WearGPT’s interface is a bit informative, but easy to use. It’s probably easiest to use your voice to ask ChatGPT questions from your smartwatch. To do this, tap the microphone he icon on the Home screen of the WearGPT app. A standard Google or Samsung voice prompt screen will appear allowing you to ask your question and tap the send button when done.
Tap the text box to the left of the microphone button to enter your question or refine the previous query. This will open a text editor where you can change the question (or type it manually) and[送信]Click to ask ChatGPT a question.
When you submit a question, ChatGPT thinks about your answer for a moment, then displays your answer in the largest text box on your screen. That’s what takes up the bottom half of the app. At this point, if the answer is too long to fit, you’ll have to use your finger to scroll down. For some reason it doesn’t scroll when using the crown or rotating bezel of the watch. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates.
