ChatGPT

OpenAI's conversational AI that can write, code, analyze data, and help you build faster through natural language prompts.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is OpenAI's conversational AI assistant that understands what you're asking and generates human-like responses.

It's trained on massive amounts of text data and can handle everything from writing code to analyzing spreadsheets to explaining complex topics in simple terms.

Most builders use it for rapid prototyping, debugging code, writing documentation, and getting unstuck when they hit a wall. You can access it through the web interface at chatgpt.com or integrate it into your apps via the API.

Free tier gets you GPT-4o mini. ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) unlocks GPT-4o, web browsing, image generation, and higher usage limits. Enterprise plans available for teams.
