ChatGPT-5 looks very different today. Here's how it works: This is a pivotal moment in gen AI development. ChatGPT has advanced through a decade’s worth of human learning... In just a few years. When GPT-3 was launched, it felt like talking to a clever high-school student.  Quick with facts, but not always great at reasoning. GPT-4 is like a college student. It's able to work through complex problems... But still makes mistakes and can lose the plot sometimes.  GPT-5 is, according to Sam Altman, like talking to a PhD-level expert. It can research, plan, and execute any task, super precisely. Here's the key new updates: - Fewer hallucinations in outputs - Produces far more sophisticated lines of code  - Remembers conversations up to 2000 words (prev 1000) I've spent the weekend trying to learn it as quickly as possible The leverage you can build with this is incredible. Here's exactly how I would use it Depending on which position you are in ! 🧱 Startup Founders ↳ Validate ideas with market research at expert level in minutes. ↳ Draft sales decks, investor updates, and GTM plans instantly. ↳ Automate early-stage customer support to focus on growth. 💼 Employees ↳ Use it as an always-on mentor to upskill in real time. ↳ Automate reporting, documentation, and meeting notes. ↳ Turn complex tasks into clear deliverables fast. 📈 Experienced Entrepreneurs ↳ Delegate high-level strategy research without hiring analysts. ↳ Spot new market opportunities before competitors do. ↳ Build AI-driven workflows to run leaner teams. And here’s the wild part... The free version essentially has the same features as the $20 version. ➡️ It auto-selects the best model for the job.  ➡️ It knows when not to answer, saving you time and mistakes. ➡️ It's much less likely to hallucinate or give wrong answers. ➡️ It writes with a far better tone, style, and emotional nuance. ➡️ It can handle multi-step reasoning and advanced coding tasks. ➡️ It feels like a genuine creative partner, not a junior assistant. If you're building something now, I urge you not to miss this chance ! It's your chance to own the biggest competitive advantage out there. And if you want to learn more about how ChatGPT-5 can work for you,  I'll be breaking it down this Sunday in my newsletter, Step By Step.
