General-purpose AI assistant from OpenAI
Ask questions, draft text, analyze files and images, and write code in one chat on web, desktop, and mobile.
Description
ChatGPT is the AI assistant made by OpenAI. You type or speak a request and it answers in conversation: explaining topics, drafting and editing text, writing and debugging code, and working through files and images you upload. It is used by individuals, students, developers, and teams as a general-purpose assistant.
How it works
You start a chat and describe what you need in plain language. ChatGPT replies in the same thread, and you refine the result with follow-up messages instead of starting over. You can attach documents, spreadsheets, and images for it to read, and it can search the web when a question needs current information.
Who it is for
ChatGPT suits people who want one assistant for many kinds of work rather than a specialized tool. Writers use it for drafts and rewrites, developers for explanations and code snippets, and students for breaking down unfamiliar subjects. Business plans add shared workspaces and admin controls for teams.
Pricing and limits
The Free plan gives limited access to models, messages, and uploads. Paid plans raise those limits: Go is $8 per month in the US, Plus is $20 per month, and Pro starts at $100 per month. Business seats cost $25 per user per month billed monthly, starting at two users, and Enterprise pricing is arranged with sales. Prices can vary by country.
