The way we drive is rapidly evolving, and Audi is ensuring its drivers stay ahead of the curve.

MyAudi App: Audi’s smart digital hub for drivers
ChatGPT joins the MyAudi app
One of the biggest updates in the MyAudi app is the AI assistant. Audi’s software team, CARIAD, added ChatGPT into the system. It’s not just a gimmick. You can ask questions like “Why is this dashboard light on?” and the AI will give you answers from the car’s manual instantly. This means no more stopping to search online or digging through a paper manual. It makes understanding your car faster and less stressful.
Your smartphone becomes your car key
Another major feature is that the MyAudi app can replace your physical key. You can lock, unlock, and start the car using your phone or smartwatch. Digital keys are not new, but Audi’s integration is strong and reliable. For people who hate carrying keys or often lose them, this is very practical.
Smarter management for Audi e-tron owners
The MyAudi app is especially useful for Audi’s e-tron electric cars. It acts as a central hub for EV management. You can check the current battery range, monitor charging, and even set schedules. Smart charging ensures you can plug in overnight and charge only during off-peak hours, which saves money.
The app also includes a route planner for EVs. It calculates long trips, finds charging stations along the way, and sends the plan straight to the car’s navigation system. For some models, there is battery preconditioning. It prepares the battery before fast charging by adjusting the temperature, which can reduce charging time in cold or hot weather.
A digital marketplace for Audi owners
Beyond functionality, the MyAudi app now features a shopping section made for individual models. Owners can browse and purchase accessories, digital upgrades, and connected services directly through the app. This addition reflects a broader trend in the automotive industry, where manufacturers are leveraging software to enhance user experience and create ongoing value beyond the initial car sale.
Availability
The updated MyAudi app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It is compatible with most current Audi models, with additional features rolling out through software updates in the coming months.
According to Audi AG, the new MyAudi app is now available in over 50 global markets, including the U.S., Europe, and parts of Asia, with more regions to follow soon.
Overall, the relaunch of the MyAudi app is more than just a software update. It brings AI assistance for quick car guidance, removes the need for a physical key, and makes EV management smarter and easier. Audi has made this app a real companion for daily driving, combining convenience and technology in one tool.
