** Featured on TechCrunch, Daring Fireball, iMore, 9to5Mac, BGR, MacRumors & more! ** Ask Petey a question from your Apple Watch and read the answer on your wrist. No phone needed, no waiting for a screen to light up. Petey runs as its own Watch app, with a complication for your watch face so an answer is one tap away. Petey is also on iPhone and iPad, and your conversations stay in sync across all three. ON YOUR WATCH • Ask by voice or scribble, read the answer right there • Scroll long answers with the Digital Crown • Have the answer read out loud • Send an answer to your phone to use it in another app • Add Petey as a complication for one-tap access ON IPHONE AND IPAD • Full conversation history, synced with your Watch • Live Activity while Petey is thinking, so you can keep doing other things • Share a single answer or a whole conversation • Open any link Petey mentions with one tap • Create Apple Music playlists and view places in Apple Maps from a conversation • Shortcuts: open Petey or ask it a question from a shortcut, or from Siri USE YOUR OWN API KEY If you have an OpenAI API key, add it in settings and Petey uses it directly. You pay OpenAI, not us, and you can pick from the models your key allows. A ChatGPT Plus subscription is not an API key; keys come from platform.openai.com. FREE AND PREMIUM Petey is free to use with a monthly limit of messages. Petey Premium removes the limit and unlocks the more capable models. Bought Petey before it went free?
