ChatGPT
The assistant that writes, answers, and drafts for you — free, in your browser.

An assistant that reads what you want and writes it for you
ChatGPT is a tool from OpenAI: you type what you need — a follow-up message, a summary, a reply to a client — and it delivers the text, in natural language. Think of it as a well-informed colleague available at any hour, who reads, writes, and adapts to what you ask. All in the browser, in your language, with nothing to install.
The message you keep putting off because you don't know how to start
The follow-up email you avoid because you don't want to sound pushy. The proposal that would be better if you knew how to rephrase it. The reply to a difficult client you rewrite three times before hitting send.
400 million people every week already handle this kind of task with ChatGPT — salespeople, teachers, freelancers. And the tool is free.

How people use it at work
Sent a proposal and the client went silent. Asks ChatGPT for a 3-line follow-up, friendly, with the product name. Ready to send in under 30 seconds.
Needs an attractive job description. Describes the role in 2 sentences and receives a full text with requirements and highlights in clear, natural language.
Spends more time replying to clients than actually working. Uses ChatGPT to draft quotes and standard replies, adaptable to each situation.
From zero to your first generated text
- Go to chatgpt.com
Click "Log in" in the top-right corner. No account? Click "Sign up" — free with email, Google, or Microsoft account.
- Find the text box in the center of the screen
You'll see a typing area with the prompt "What can I help with?" (or similar). That's where you start.
no prior configuration needed - Type what you need, in plain language
Write naturally, as you would in a message to a colleague. Press Enter or click the send arrow next to the box.
- Read the reply and refine in the same conversation
Not quite right? Reply in the same box: "make it more formal" or "shorten to 2 sentences." No need to start over.
conversation context is kept while the window is open - Start a new chat when you need one
Click "New chat" in the left panel — pencil icon or "+" button — to start a different topic without mixing contexts.
A ready-made prompt for salespeople
Write a follow-up email for a client who requested my proposal 3 days ago and hasn't replied yet. Friendly tone, no pressure. Maximum 4 lines. My product: [describe your product or service here].
You get a ready-to-send message. Just replace the text in brackets.
Tips & common mistakes
Do this
- Be specific: "3-line follow-up email for a salesperson" works much better than just "write an email."
- Ask for tweaks in the same conversation: "make it more formal" or "cut to 2 sentences" work without starting over.
- Use it as a draft: write your rough idea and ask ChatGPT to improve the structure and fix any errors.
Avoid
- Never publish data, names, or figures from ChatGPT without fact-checking — the model can invent information with complete confidence, known as "hallucination."
- Recent events, prices, and new laws may be wrong — the model has a knowledge cutoff and, on the free plan, doesn't browse the internet in real time.
- On the free plan, access to the most advanced model (GPT-4o) is limited per day — during peak hours, the system may automatically switch to a simpler version.
