ChatGPT
The everyday AI assistant most people try first, good at drafting, explaining and making images.
ChatGPT is often the first AI tool people open, and for good reason. Ask it to draft an email, explain a confusing contract clause, brainstorm names or debug a script, and it answers in plain language you can keep refining in conversation.
We use it as a generalist. Uploading files for analysis, generating images, searching the web and talking to it with voice all live in one app, and custom GPTs let you save setups for tasks you repeat often.
Like every chatbot, it can sound confident while being wrong, so facts and figures deserve a quick check. The free plan covers a lot of everyday use, while Plus at $20 per month gives access to stronger models and higher limits when you rely on it daily.
