What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI assistant developed by OpenAI. It can generate text, answer questions, analyse documents and perform complex tasks based on natural language instructions. With GPT-4, it can also analyse images and perform complex reasoning. For businesses, it is a versatile tool that can speed up countless administrative tasks.
Why ChatGPT is useful
ChatGPT is like a super-smart intern that never sleeps: it can write emails, summarise reports, analyse data, create translations and generate ideas. It doesn't replace people, but empowers them by speeding up time-consuming tasks.
- Speed up text work: Emails, reports, quotes in a fraction of the time
- Research and analysis: Quickly gather and structure information
- Translation: Multilingual communication without language barriers
- Brainstorming: Generate new ideas and solutions
Time savings with ChatGPT
The time savings depend on how you use ChatGPT. For text-intensive work, it can deliver 50-80% time savings. The key is good prompts and knowing when AI is or isn't suitable.
Custom Instructions
Define your preferences once and ChatGPT remembers them. You don't need to provide context every time.

Document Analysis
Upload PDFs, spreadsheets or images. ChatGPT analyses and answers questions about the content.
