Why we recommend ChatGPT

ChatGPT remains the reference general-purpose AI assistant: the fastest way to draft, summarize, translate, debug or think out loud with a model, and the product that defined the chat-with-attachments-and-tools interaction pattern everyone else copies. The free tier is genuinely capable — it includes flagship-model access with rate limits, file uploads and image generation — which makes it the default first stop for AI-curious users.

Best use cases

Best for: drafting and rewriting text at any register, explaining unfamiliar code or error messages, structured brainstorming, quick data cleanups on pasted tables, and voice conversations on mobile. Custom instructions and projects make repeated workflows (weekly reports, study plans) low-friction.

Honest limitations

Free usage hits rate limits quickly during peak hours and falls back to smaller models. Hallucination is still real — citations need verification for anything factual. Conversations may be used to improve models unless you opt out, so avoid pasting confidential material.
