Nothing is sent when you click. You review the message in the chat and are charged only when you send it yourself. You can look around without signing in; you sign in when you send.

Sign up and verify your email to get 7.5 bonus PMC, enough for 2 messages with this model at its base price (bonus valid for 90 days).

Good for

  • Everyday questions and writing
  • Summaries and translation
  • Describing what is in a photo

Good to know

  • PDFs are read as extracted text only, so tables, charts and scanned images are not reflected in answers.
  • Web search costs extra only when turned on. With it off, the model answers from what it knew as of its knowledge cutoff.
