ChatGPT has come a long way since it launched. Even within the last year, we've seen significant improvements in Memory, speed and even more app integrations. Simply put, the platform has become an incredible daily workspace. I get so much done within the space because of its built-in functionalities.The AI can organize long-term projects, run heavy research, connect directly to my other apps, handle coding tasks, remember my preferences and it can even break down my financial planning.So when friends ask me the best prompt for writing emails, I respond with a good prompt but then tell them they're completely missing the tools that actually change how daily work gets done. Here are seven features worth exploring right now, along with exactly how the pricing works for each.1. Projects keep my workspace organized
(Image credit: Future)I am the type of person that takes hand-written notes in meetings and style writes reminders on sticky notes. The brain-hand combination works for me. At the same time, I need those notes to not get lost on my desk. For that reason, and a plethora of others, I've found Projects to be a game-changer for my workflow.Whether I'm uploading messy notes or keeping track of related chats, Projects helps to maintain context. I upload documents, add custom instructions and keep everything for a specific goal in one centralized place.I also rely on Projects to manage long-running work. I keep separate spaces for planning vacations, organizing home renovations, managing my writing and running work on side projects. ChatGPT already understands the background context every time I log in.Pricing: Projects is a core feature, though the file upload limits scale with your specific plan.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.2. Deep Research builds full reportsSometimes I want to do more than simply skim the internet. It's times like those when I don't need an answer in seconds. Deep Research spends significantly longer gathering information, comparing sources, and building a comprehensive report.ChatGPT does the heavy lifting of opening dozens of tabs and presents its findings with source citations for verification. I've used it to find the best value electric SUVs, compare mortgage options, analyze competing software and understand my own family's history. When Deep Research first rolled out, I didn't think I'd ever have a use for it. Now, I use it nearly every day.Pricing: Free users get 5 lightweight queries per month. Plus users receive 10 full queries, the $100 Pro tier gets 50, and the $200 Pro tier has unlimited access.3. Apps connect directly to my workflow
