What ChatGPT is

ChatGPT is OpenAI's general-purpose AI assistant. It handles conversation, long-form writing, coding and debugging, image understanding and voice interaction, with web, mobile, desktop and API access, team and enterprise deployment, and a privacy mode that excludes data from training.

What you can do with it

  • Draft and revise any kind of text
  • Explain and debug code
  • Summarise documents and data
  • Use voice and images in conversation

Who it is for

  • Individuals and teams across nearly every profession
  • Developers
  • Enterprises deploying AI with governance needs

What to watch out for

  • Hallucinations remain: verify facts, citations and code before acting
