The Economist launched its own ChatGPT app on Wednesday, the first of its kind by a major consumer news publication, reports Andrew Deck of Nieman Lab.
Deck reports, “‘The Economist – Graphs‘” runs natively inside ChatGPT and allows users to interact with the publication’s data visualizations.
“At launch, the app is focused solely on U.S. polling data. After installing the app, ChatGPT users can use it to ask questions about The Economist’s ongoing Donald Trump approval rating tracker, which offers a variety of charts and data points broken down by state, demographic, and voting issue.
