ChatGPT is the AI chatbot made by OpenAI. Launched in late 2022, it is the tool that made generative AI mainstream. You chat with it much like Claude: ask in plain language, get writing, answers, code, and more.
It is a strong all-rounder with a huge user base and a wide add-on ecosystem. The Academy teaches it in its own track, next to Claude and Copilot, because knowing the main tools side by side helps you pick the right one and avoid lock-in.
