What do I need to know about ChatGPT as a chatbot?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot built on OpenAI's GPT language models, trained on a broad range of text so it can hold natural, context-aware conversations, answer questions, and help with writing, coding, and research tasks. It works by predicting the most likely next words in a response based on the conversation so far, not by looking answers up in a database, which is why it can sometimes sound confident about something that isn't quite right. For businesses, the real value usually comes from building it into a workflow, like customer support or internal knowledge search, rather than using it as a standalone chat window.
