ChatGPT
Using ChatGPT in practice: getting started on desktop and web, ChatGPT Work, scheduled tasks, the built-in browser, Computer Use, plugins, skills, files and presentations, mobile, and voice.

Setting up Computer Use, the system permissions it needs, the Windows foreground constraint, macOS locked use, and when to reach for a plugin or the built-in browser instead.
