Sam Altman Reveals His Most-Used App, But It's Not ChatGPT

According to Business Insider's latest report, it turns out that messaging apps are the ones usually used by Sam Altman and Bill Gates.

The OpenAI CEO said that his most-used app on his smartphone is Slack. He shared that he accesses this cloud-based team communication platform every day, "all day."

Sam Altman even confirmed that he uses Slack more compared to his email. He jokingly said that he hoped he could use ChatGPT regularly.

"I wish I could say ChatGPT," said the tech executive.

Sam Altman explained that he didn't include a browser since he doesn't consider it as an app. If it were, it would be his most-used application, making Slack his second.

The OpenAI CEO didn't explain why he doesn't usually use ChatGPT. But, since he's the company's chief executive officer, this is already self-explanatory.

"I'm on Slack all day," said the tech billionaire via Yahoo Tech.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates also shared his most-used app. The Microsoft founder stated that he's most frequently accessing Outlook.

"I'm this old-style email guy. Either that or the browser because, of course, a lot of my news is coming through the browser," said Bill Gates.

He added that he finds the speed with which people need to adapt so they can properly adjust to the arrival of new artificial intelligence.
