Q & A

What is a common misconception about how people use ChatGPT?

Many people use ChatGPT like a search engine, seeking quick answers or web searches, which overlooks its more powerful productivity features.

What are the different versions of ChatGPT available?

ChatGPT offers a free version and two paid tiers: $20 USD per month and $200 USD per month.

What is a 'Custom GPT' and how can it be used?

Custom GPTs are specialized engines or plugins that can work with ChatGPT. For example, integrating Canva allows users to generate and edit designs directly within the Canva platform.

How can Apple users integrate ChatGPT with Siri?

On supported devices (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max or newer), users can enable ChatGPT under Apple Intelligence in settings. Siri can then delegate certain tasks to ChatGPT, and users can also save outputs directly to Apple Notes.

What is Canvas Mode and why is it useful?

Canvas Mode provides a split-screen collaborative environment where users can edit and refine ChatGPT-generated content directly, similar to working with another person on a Google Doc. It is especially useful for writing and coding.

How can users ensure their data and prompts are not saved by ChatGPT?

Users can use Temporary Chats (incognito mode), or disable memory and model improvement in settings under Data Controls and Personalization. This prevents ChatGPT from storing or using their information.

What is the difference between the microphone and Voice Mode in ChatGPT?

The microphone simply transcribes spoken instructions into text, while Voice Mode allows conversational interaction, giving real-time feedback and engagement, which is useful for rehearsals or practice scenarios.

How can ChatGPT analyze visual information?

ChatGPT can process images, such as screenshots of calendars, to provide recommendations, schedules, or identify objects, enhancing productivity and planning capabilities.

What features are exclusive to the paid version of ChatGPT?

Paid features include screen sharing (iOS only), Projects for organizing chats, and Tasks to automate recurring tasks like daily updates, which help users save time and manage information efficiently.

How does the 'Tasks' feature improve productivity?

The Tasks feature allows ChatGPT to perform routine tasks on a set schedule, such as providing daily AI news updates, eliminating repetitive work and saving users hours per week.

Why might uploading an image of a calendar be more effective than connecting a Google Calendar directly?

In experiments, ChatGPT was better able to visually interpret and suggest scheduling based on a calendar screenshot than when connected directly to Google Calendar, providing more accurate time recommendations.

How do Projects help organize interactions in the paid version?

Projects act like folders, grouping chats under specific topics (e.g., travel plans or YouTube content), allowing users to maintain context-specific conversations without mixing unrelated topics.
