ChatGPT

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s AI assistant. You can use it to answer questions, write, create images, complete work and code, in one place, on the web or in an app you download.

What ChatGPT does

  • Answers questions and helps you write.
  • Creates images.
  • Helps you complete work and code, from the same place.
  • Includes Codex, which OpenAI describes as AI coding agents for engineering teams: pull requests, refactors, code reviews and automations.
  • Works in the browser or in an app you can download.
  • Comes in business versions, ChatGPT Business and ChatGPT Enterprise, which OpenAI treats separately from the individual service.

What people use it for

  • Ask and draft

    Ask a question, or give it a rough start and ask it to write the rest, then edit what comes back.

  • Create images

    Describe an image and have ChatGPT make it, one of the things OpenAI lists on its page.

  • Hand coding work to an agent

    Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent inside ChatGPT, described as completing pull requests, refactors and code reviews.

  • Check before you rely on it

    OpenAI’s own Help Center says outputs can be inaccurate, untruthful and misleading at times, and recommends checking whether responses are accurate.

Who it suits

  • People who want one general assistant for questions, writing, images and code.
  • Anyone who will check what it says before acting on it, which OpenAI itself recommends.

Plans and access
