ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a conversational AI interface built on OpenAI's GPT family of large language models. It accepts natural language prompts and generates contextually relevant responses across a wide range of tasks including writing, analysis, coding, translation, and question answering. The interface maintains conversation context across multiple exchanges, allowing users to refine requests iteratively.

For web development, ChatGPT has become a widely used productivity tool for generating boilerplate code, debugging errors, explaining unfamiliar APIs, drafting documentation, and brainstorming architectural approaches. The underlying GPT models are also available through OpenAI's API, enabling developers to integrate similar conversational capabilities directly into web applications. Common integrations include customer support chatbots, content generation features, and intelligent search interfaces. Understanding what ChatGPT can and cannot do reliably, including its tendency to produce plausible but incorrect information, is important for developers who build features powered by it or who use it as part of their workflow.
