ChatGPT review: is it worth it?

General-purpose AI assistant for drafting, research, analysis and repeatable business tasks.

Category: AI tools

My verdict

The default AI assistant for day-to-day business work. Fast, broad and good enough for most commercial tasks.

What it does

ChatGPT is a general AI assistant. You give it context and instructions, and it drafts, rewrites, summarises, analyses data, writes structured output and helps you think through commercial decisions.

What I use it for

First drafts of landing page copy, structuring proposals, summarising long documents, cleaning up messy data and building repeatable prompts for tasks my teams run weekly.

Why I use it

It removes the blank page. The speed gain is in first drafts and structure, not in publishing raw output.

Key features

  • Chat and long-context reasoning
  • Custom GPTs for repeat tasks
  • File and image input
