chatgpt capabilities

Real-time, low-latency speech-to-speech conversational mode using the GPT-4o-class realtime audio model. Supports interruptions, tone/emotion variation, accents, and live language interpretation.

Side-by-side collaborative editing interface for iterating on writing and code within ChatGPT.

Agentic mode that gives ChatGPT a virtual computer (visual browser, text browser, terminal, direct API access) to autonomously complete multi-step web and document tasks on the user's behalf.

Cloud-based software engineering agent embedded in ChatGPT (and as a separate Codex app/CLI/IDE extension). Spins up sandboxed cloud environments to write features, fix bugs, answer codebase questions, and open pull requests in parallel.

Integrations that connect ChatGPT to external services like Google Drive, OneDrive, Slack, and other apps.

User- or workspace-installed connections that let ChatGPT call approved external tools and retrieve data from third-party services. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP); unified under the 'Apps' branding since Dec 17, 2025 (apps + connectors).

User-created or community-built custom AI assistants with specific instructions, knowledge files, and optional API actions.

Persistent user-level instructions that ChatGPT applies to every new conversation.

Multi-step agentic research mode that plans, searches the web (and optionally connected apps/MCP sources), and synthesizes a long-form cited report. Designed for tasks taking 5–30 minutes of autonomous browsing.

Upload files to conversations for analysis, summarization, data extraction, and code execution.

Multi-person conversations (up to 20 humans) sharing a single ChatGPT thread. ChatGPT decides when to chime in versus stay quiet and can be invoked explicitly with @ChatGPT.

Native image generation and editing inside ChatGPT, powered by ChatGPT Images 2.0 (gpt-image-2). Replaces the legacy DALL-E pipeline and the discontinued Sora image flow; covers text-to-image, image-to-image edits, and inpainting.

Persistent memory that ChatGPT builds across conversations to retain user context and preferences.

Consumer and team subscription tiers for ChatGPT as of May 2026: Free, Go, Plus, Pro ($100), Pro ($200), Business, and Enterprise. Tiers differ in model routing, message/Deep-Research/Agent quotas, context window, and admin/compliance features.

Named workspaces that group conversations, files, and custom instructions for a long-running effort.

Public, unlisted URLs that publish a snapshot of a conversation (or a single response) so anyone with the link can view it and optionally import it into their own chat history.

Text-to-video and image-to-video generation with synchronized audio, powered by Sora 2 (and the experimental higher-quality Sora 2 Pro). Accessible inside ChatGPT after the standalone Sora app was discontinued April 26, 2026.

Scheduled and recurring jobs that ChatGPT runs for the user at a specified time, delivering results via push notification or email even when the user is offline.

Real-time web search integrated into ChatGPT conversations for retrieving current information.
