Getting Started with ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a conversational AI assistant that understands natural language and responds like a human. As a tool that helps with organizing thoughts, writing, and problem-solving, your first conversation can start with just a simple prompt input.

The easiest way to start is to hand ChatGPT a task you're already familiar with. For example, the following tasks are well suited:

• Drafting
• Brainstorming ideas
• Summarizing long text
• Turning rough notes into a clear message
• Reviewing a problem step by step

Work you do repeatedly or tasks that go through multiple steps offer more room for use. Features like Projects, custom GPTs, and Skills let you organize materials, keep instructions consistent, and develop a single prompt into a repeatable workflow.

Voice features are also useful. Voice Mode lets you speak and listen as if in a real-time conversation, and Dictation lets you turn spoken content into text you can edit. Audio and video from voice chats are saved along with the conversation history, and are kept as long as the chat remains in the history.
