Overview
ChatGPT is the assistant most people try first, and the breadth of what it does explains why. One chat handles drafting, brainstorming, data analysis and image creation.
Writing and research
Drafts are fluent and easy to steer with instructions. Browsing adds current information, though you should still verify important claims.
Custom GPTs
The GPT store makes it easy to find a specialised assistant for almost any job, from resume coaching to meal planning.
Pros
- Does almost everything well
- Huge GPT ecosystem
- Generous free tier
- Excellent mobile apps
Cons
- Can sound confident when wrong
- Advanced models need a paid plan
Verdict
The safest all-round choice. Start here, then add specialised tools where you need more depth.
