After creating your account and logging into ChatGPT, you will be greeted with the starting screen. For non-plus members, this is the default interface. Plus members will have some minor differences, but the core interface remains the same.
To get started, let’s explore the interface for non-plus users. ChatGPT has two core areas: the right section of the screen, where you can start conversations and ask questions, and the left column, where you can organize different chats.
In the right section, you can ask questions and submit prompts to ChatGPT. The generated output will appear in the chat window. You can simply add your request or question in the message box below. If you’re having trouble getting started, you can find examples at the top of the screen. By clicking on an example, the text will be automatically added to the message box.
In the left column, you can see your chats. Each chat represents a different topic or project. By default, a new chat window is created, and ChatGPT generates a title for it. You can edit the title or delete a chat by clicking on the respective symbols.
To start a new conversation, you can create a new chat and add your prompt or question. Each chat is context-aware, meaning ChatGPT remembers the conversation and topics discussed within that chat. However, this context does not carry over to other chats.
You can switch between chats, but it’s important to wait until the output is generated before switching to a new chat or adding another question. If you switch too soon, the output won’t be saved.
In the chat window, you can press the ‘Regenerate Response’ button to generate a new response based on the existing conversation.
Moving on to the plus version, there are a few differences. In the account settings, you have the option to manage your plus plan. The examples are not available in the conversations area, but this is not a major issue. The most significant difference is the ability to select different models. The plus version offers more powerful models compared to the standard model available in the non-plus version.
When choosing a model, consider your specific needs and requirements. The plus version provides more advanced capabilities and better results.
To summarize, the ChatGPT interface consists of the right section for conversations and the left column for organizing chats. Non-plus members have access to the default interface, while plus members enjoy additional features and more powerful models. Choose the model that best suits your needs and get started with ChatGPT!
