Great generalist, occasionally overconfident
Use it daily for everything from meeting prep to spreadsheet formulas. Deducting a star because it will state something wrong with total confidence if you do not ask for sources.

Our review of ChatGPT
ChatGPT remains the default entry point into AI for most people, and for good reason: it is fast, broadly capable and constantly updated. The free tier is generous enough for casual use, while paid plans unlock stronger reasoning models, larger context and higher limits. Where it can fall short is domain depth — specialist tools often beat it on coding agents, image control or research citations. As an everyday generalist, it is still the safest first pick.

- Excellent general reasoning
- Huge ecosystem of custom GPTs
- Multimodal: text, image, voice, files
- Mature mobile and desktop apps
Cons
- Can be confidently wrong
- Usage limits on the best models
- Not specialised for any single task
