03CGText AI

ChatGPT

A shortlist candidate for mixed writing, research, coding and image workflows. GPT-6 Intelligent UI is rolling out in Chat: paid tiers use Sol and Free/Go use Luna; Pro reasoning excludes Intelligent UI, and Work/Codex models are unchanged by this release. Check the exact plan, product surface and UK feature availability. The new visual-ad placement has a separate access and measurement boundary; independent same-work testing is pending and no HubAI Score is assigned.

Best for
Everyday work, research, writing, coding and multimodal assistants
Access
Free access has feature limits; GPT-6 Intelligent UI expansion to Free/Go starts 8 October, with individual UK account entitlement unverified. The new visual advertising format is a planned US test, not a UK trial entitlement.

ChatGPT is the stronger neutral all-rounder; Gemini becomes compelling when Gmail, Docs, Drive and Google-native workflows are central to the organisation.

Compare →Polished all-round product versus value reasoningChatGPT vs DeepSeek

ChatGPT offers the more complete product experience. DeepSeek can be attractive for price-sensitive reasoning and coding, but organisations should apply stricter governance and vendor-risk checks.

Choose Perplexity when fast source discovery is the main job. Choose ChatGPT when research must continue into analysis, writing, files and a broader working session.
