ChatGPT
ChatGPT is the most well-known AI assistant: text, research, code, and images, all via chat, based on OpenAI's GPT models.
ChatGPT is OpenAI's AI assistant and the product that kicked off all the hype. You chat with the GPT models, upload files, generate images, or send the agent on research tasks.
Typical uses: Drafting proposals and emails, summarizing contracts, preparing Excel analyses, designing social media posts. Its strength lies in its versatility; no other tool covers so many tasks in one interface, from voice mode to image editing.
For many, Claude writes better German and adheres more closely to instructions, while Gemini is more deeply integrated into Google Workspace. ChatGPT, however, remains the ecosystem with the most features. It still hallucinates on factual questions without web search, and anyone entering company data should check the privacy settings beforehand.
Ideal for virtually any team as a standard assistant: The basic version is free, while Plus costs around 23 Euros per month. If you primarily need precise long texts, compare it with Claude; for verified factual research, Perplexity is the better choice.
