OppenheimerGPT – use Bard and ChatGPT side-by-side (macOS menubar app)

I built this app over the weekend, let me know if you guys find it useful! * What is it?: Very simple to use. Type your prompt once, and app will mirror your prompt into both Bard and ChatGPT browser windows sitting side-by-side. Hit send! * Why did I built it? 1) I found myself consistently pasting the same question into both Bard and ChatGPT to get answers from each. This became even more frequent after ChatGPT disabled its internet browser plugin. 2) I wanted an elegant app that sits in macOS menubar, but I found no existing solutions. 3) I'm fascinated by the current AI race. I find it…

OppenheimerGPT – use Bard and ChatGPT side-by-side (macOS menubar app) launched on July 25, 2023 with 10 votes, #1,624 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

OppenheimerGPT is a macOS menubar app that lets users query both Bard and ChatGPT simultaneously. Users type a prompt once, and the app automatically sends it to both AI services in side-by-side browser windows. Built for people who regularly compare responses from multiple AI models, it eliminates the need to manually copy and paste the same question into different interfaces. The app sits discretely in the macOS menubar for quick access.

    Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
