Generative text AI
ChatGPT
The best-known AI assistant, the de facto default for all kinds of tasks
ChatGPT is most people's entry point into generative AI, and it remains the most well-rounded option: it writes well, reasons well, understands images and documents, searches the web when needed, and has a tool catalog — image generation, data analysis, voice — that covers practically every need. Custom GPTs let you build reusable assistants with fixed instructions, and the advanced voice mode is among the most natural available. It's the best pick when you want a single tool that does everything reasonably well; specialized assistants beat it in writing depth or advanced coding. [Describe your own testing experience here: which tasks you used it for, which built-in tools you rely on most, what limitations you found.]
