Product preview

Overview

ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship AI assistant, built on the GPT family of large language models. It popularized the conversational AI category and remains the most widely used tool of its kind, handling writing, coding, document analysis, web browsing, image generation and voice conversations in a single interface.

Beyond the chat window, ChatGPT has grown into a platform: custom GPTs let users package specialized behaviors, memory gives it continuity across sessions, and the same models power a large API ecosystem. A capable free tier makes it the default entry point to AI for most people, while Plus and Team plans unlock the strongest models and higher limits.
