ChatGPT
Freemium
A conversational AI assistant for writing, research, learning, planning, coding, and file-based tasks.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a conversational AI assistant for everyday questions and multi-step tasks. It follows natural-language instructions and uses the context of the current conversation to help answer questions, explain concepts, draft and revise content, brainstorm, translate, and work through problems.
It is available on the web and in iOS and Android apps. Depending on plan, settings, and supported platform, users can also work with web search, research, images, files, data analysis, voice, and interactive writing or coding tools. Optional features such as memory, Projects, and custom GPTs support personalized or longer-running workflows. Access and usage limits vary by plan.
What can ChatGPT do?
Web search and deep research
Search can retrieve current or real-time information and provide cited responses. Deep research can synthesize material across multiple online sources into structured, cited outputs.
Image and file workflows
Depending on access, users can upload images, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or supported audio to ask questions, extract information, summarize, or request a transcript. ChatGPT can also generate images and make natural-language edits to generated images.
Data analysis
For supported workflows, ChatGPT can run code in a secure environment to analyze and visualize structured data, including spreadsheets and CSV files.
Voice and Canvas
Voice mode enables spoken conversations with spoken replies on supported platforms. Canvas is an interactive workspace for co-writing, editing, and debugging, with inline suggestions and tools such as file upload and code editing.
Projects, memory, and custom GPTs
Projects organize chats, files, and context around an objective. When enabled, memory can retain useful details that users can view, edit, or delete. Custom GPTs can be configured with instructions, knowledge files, and selected tools.
Use Cases
“Draft and refine written work”
Use conversational prompts to create a first draft, rewrite existing text, summarize material, or develop creative ideas; follow up with revisions while the conversation retains context.
“Research a current or unfamiliar subject”
Use web search for recent information and cited responses, or use deep research when a question calls for gathering and synthesizing information across multiple sources.
“Study and solve problems”
Ask for explanations of concepts, language translation, help with math, or support reasoning through a problem, then use follow-up questions to explore the answer.
“Review files, visuals, and datasets”
Upload supported files or images to extract or summarize information, interpret a chart or screenshot, or analyze spreadsheet data and visualize trends.
“Manage a continuing project or specialized assistant”
Keep related chats, files, and context together in a Project, or create a custom GPT with task-specific instructions and selected knowledge sources and tools.
