The ChatGPT plugin for PowerToys Run
According to the information provided on GitHub, the ChatGPT feature in PowerToys Run will not be enabled by default. This means that users will have to manually turn it on in the settings if they wish to use it. Additionally, in order to access this feature, users will need to have an OpenAI API key and enter it into the appropriate field. This is a limitation of the feature that users should be aware of before attempting to use it.
At this time, there is no release date for the public version available. You can track the progress here on GitHub. It is exciting to see the potential for this integration and the benefits it could bring to PowerToys users.
PowerToys Run is a highly useful launcher application for Windows that aims to improve the user's productivity. You can open it using the keyboard shortcut Alt + Space, and use it to launch programs or execute commands.

In the near future, PowerToys Run will allow you to launch any "powertoy" and their settings using its command box.
