ChatGPT

Overview

ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship conversational AI assistant that has redefined how people interact with artificial intelligence. Available at chatgpt.com and through mobile apps, ChatGPT provides an intuitive chat interface for having natural conversations with advanced language models including GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2 Pro, and GPT-4.1.

Unlike the OpenAI API (developer-focused), ChatGPT is designed for everyday users, students, professionals, and teams who want immediate AI assistance without coding. With over 300 million weekly active users, ChatGPT has become the go-to platform for research, writing, coding help, creative projects, and complex problem-solving.
