AI Assistants

ChatGPT

General-purpose AI assistant for writing, analysis, coding help and everyday questions.

Overview

ChatGPT is OpenAI's general-purpose assistant. It handles conversational writing, summarising, drafting, data reasoning and code assistance in one interface, with file and image input on supported plans.

It is usually the first assistant people try, and it works well as a default for broad tasks. For specialised work — long-document research, production code, or voice — a focused tool may still fit better.
