The AI assistant used by 200 million people worldwide
ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship conversational AI, capable of writing essays, summarizing documents, debugging code, brainstorming ideas, and answering almost any question. It supports GPT-4o with vision, image generation via DALL-E 3, web browsing, file uploads, and a growing library of custom GPTs. The free tier is generous; ChatGPT Plus unlocks the most capable models and priority access.
