ChatGPT

Web

ChatGPT is one of the broadest general-purpose AI assistants, with strong support for everyday writing, analysis, coding help, file-based work, Codex-style development workflows, and team use. AppDex rates it as a high-utility default because its ecosystem breadth and coding-token/workflow value are unusually strong, while noting that costs, model limits, and privacy needs should be reviewed by each team.
