What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose conversational assistant for writing, learning, and working through questions. A useful starting point is to describe your goal, share the relevant context, and ask for a draft or explanation that you can refine in follow-up messages. The free experience includes everyday text conversations, while features such as uploads and image creation have their own limits. This listing separates those limits so you can judge whether the free plan fits your task before visiting the provider.
