ChatGPT is a leading general-purpose AI assistant with strong models, voice, image generation, custom GPTs, and its own projects and memory. AI42 is built around getting work done: an assistant with project-aware memory inside a full workspace — tasks, boards, calendar, meetings, research, and finance — that executes actions and orchestrates multiple AI models (including GPT) under one budget. Choose ChatGPT if you want the broadest general assistant and ecosystem; choose AI42 if you want those models applied to real work in a structured workspace that remembers your projects.

ChatGPT is brilliant at responses. AI42 takes the next step — creating tasks, scheduling, drafting and sending email, and routing meeting follow-ups inside your workspace.
AI42 organizes memory around your projects, so context stays attached to the work it belongs to rather than a single rolling chat.
AI42 orchestrates GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, picking strengths per task — you're not tied to one model family.
Boards, calendar, meetings, research, and finance live alongside the assistant, all on one AI Power budget.
