Get instant answers to any question with your personal ChatGPT-powered assistant, right on your wrist! For example, ask it: - To explain a difficult topic. - How to make something. - To generate a short story about your dog or cat. The app is in English, but you can ask questions in many languages, including: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Turkish, Hebrew, Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Greek, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Swahili, Tagalog, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Nepali. Note that it only has data prior to 2024, so it won't be able to answer questions about recent events. The purchase of this app gives you unlimited usage. I am the one paying for the API usage. Disclaimer: The app uses OpenAI's official ChatGPT API (GPT-5 mini), but the app is not endorsed or affiliated with OpenAI Inc. This is not an official app. ■ FAQ ‣ Can it open the voice dictation directly at launch? This is unfortunately not possible as watchOS only supports opening the keyboard.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: What = Next at Free against Ask AI's $5.00. What = Next also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Ask AI's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
