Frequently asked questions about AI Chat
What AI models does ChatNow use?
ChatNow is built on the latest and most powerful models: GPT-5 and GPT-4o for writing and editing, Grok 4 and DeepSeek for research and fact checking, Claude 3.5 Sonnet for code and detailed analysis, Gemini 2.5 Pro for everyday tasks, Veo 3 for video generation, and Perplexity for live web answers.
Can I create images and videos directly in the app?
Yes, ChatNow lets you create images, edit photos, and make short videos with Veo 3 directly inside the app through the Creative Studio. You should not be redirected to external tools like Canva - this only happens when the model misunderstands the request or chat session gets stuck.
How does the free trial work?
ChatNow offers a 3-day free trial that must be manually toggled on at the start. If you miss this step, the subscription begins immediately and you will be charged. The subscription starts automatically if the trial toggle is not activated.
Why do I need to buy credits if I have a subscription?
Credits are necessary for the Creative Studio to cover the high server costs of the premium image models used for every edit. Each edit to the same image deducts credits, which is separate from the subscription that covers text chat and other features.
Does ChatNow work on Mac?
Yes, ChatNow supports Mac requiring macOS 14.0 or later. However, the MacBook app currently only offers text functionality without creative studio features. A web version bringing the full suite of tools to any desktop browser is coming soon.
Can I talk to ChatNow instead of typing?
Yes, ChatNow has Voice Mode that lets you talk to your AI assistant like you would with a person and get clear answers in real time. The Voice to Text feature turns your voice into text and replies instantly.
What languages does ChatNow support?
ChatNow supports English and 11 more languages: French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Is ChatNow affiliated with OpenAI?
No, ChatNow is independently developed by tappz (Tappz GmbH) and is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by OpenAI despite using GPT models from their API.
How does ChatNow handle privacy?
ChatNow follows European data protection standards ensuring your conversations and content remain private and secure. The app collects some data like purchases and identifiers but follows EU privacy regulations.
What can I do with the Doc Analyzer feature?
Doc Analyzer summarizes PDFs, Word files, and slides, highlights key points, and turns them into outlines or action items. You can upload files or paste links for the AI to analyze and extract quick takeaways.
