ChatGPT

ChatGPT is OpenAI's general chat assistant. Bloggers tend to use it at the edges of a post rather than for the whole thing: turning a pile of notes into an outline, suggesting a dozen title options, rewriting a slow introduction, or drafting a section they already know the substance of but can't get started on.

It works in a browser, on desktop and in mobile apps, and it can read files you upload, which helps when a post is based on your own research or an earlier article. You can keep refining in the same conversation until a paragraph sounds right.

The usual caution applies: it can state things that are wrong with confidence, so check facts, numbers and quotes against a source before they go into a post. Readers come back to a blog for your view and your experience, so treat the drafts as raw material and keep your own voice and examples in the final version.
