ChatGPT

What ChatGPT actually is

OpenAI's assistant handles writing, code, analysis, images and voice from a single text box. The free tier covers general questions and file uploads with usage caps, while paid plans open up the larger models. An account is required before the first message goes through.

Why it is worth your time

Pasting in a messy spreadsheet or a photograph of a handwritten note and getting structured text back is still the demonstration that lands with people.
