AI Tool Guides, Comparisons & Latest News

This guide walks through fixing a ChatGPT generated file that won't download, in order: requesting a new link, splitting the ZIP, and getting the file from Library. It includes an example of a roughly 12 MB ZIP that was received after splitting, and explains how to check that a handoff ZIP contains the required information.

This guide covers how to handle ChatGPT's "Message delivery timed out" error, following the official help steps. It explains how to ask for a resume without losing the partial answer, how to tell this apart from Too many requests on mobile, web, and the app, and what details to give support.

A site with an address like xxx.chatgpt.site is one that a ChatGPT user built and published with a feature called ChatGPT Sites. OpenAI provides the hosting, but it does not create the content or review or approve it, and responsibility lies with whoever built the site. This article is based on OpenAI's help articles, developer guide, terms, and release notes, which I checked in the original on October 11, 2026. ChatGPT Sites was introduced as a public beta on July 9, 2026, and is available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu, but not on Free or Go. During the beta, it is included in your subscription up to each plan's limits; the limit values and pricing after the beta have not been announced. The beta is provided "as is," OpenAI can unpublish a site for any reason, and even the example site in the developer guide returned a 404 when I checked. The article covers the constraints to know before using it in production (no guarantees, no choice of where data is stored, prohibited uses, and the creator's responsibility) and the uses it suits, how to connect a custom domain and change the URL, how to set visibility and permanently delete a site, and whether your conversations are used for training.

Claude's Max, Ultra, and Team plans come with credits you can use on the Claude API every month ($100 on Max, $200 on Ultra, and up to $500 in total on Team depending on the number of seats). However, you don't receive them until you link a Claude Console organization on the claude.ai billing page, and unused credits don't roll over. This article is based on my record of the screens when I claimed the credits on a Max 20x (now Ultra) plan on October 10, 2026, and on the official documentation, help articles, and terms, which I checked in the original on the same day. It explains where the credits can be used (the API, Message Batches, Managed Agents, the Agent SDK, the Playground, and claude -p run with an API key) and where they can't (interactive Claude Code, extra usage in the apps, Bedrock, and more); that linking partway through a cycle still gave me the full amount, expiring about three weeks later; that you can't change the linked organization yourself and an organization can receive only one plan's credits; the order credits are used in and auto-reload; how keeping ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set permanently switches Claude Code to API billing; ways to use the credits up and spend limits; and key points from the terms, such as the credits not being transferable or sellable.

Check a ChatGPT scheduled task in three stages: registration, run, and notification. Plan-specific reservation limits, setup steps, editing, stopping, and notification troubleshooting are explained with diagrams and tables. Also covers differences from Codex PC schedules and dot, usage allowances, and project file and shared link limits.

Covers setting up investigation-only use in the Codex app, IDE, and CLI, and in Claude Desktop, VS Code, web, and mobile. Explains read-only versus Plan, where settings apply and persist, tool restrictions, ready-to-use prompts, and diff checks.

Compares read denial, workspace separation, approvals, and network limits as ways to keep secrets away from Codex. Covers Permission profiles examples, .env naming and scope, environment variables, and OS-specific limits. Also explains how to confirm denial with a dummy file.

This guide covers OpenAI's official ChatGPT for Word add-in, including setup, sample prompts for proofreading and summaries, and free limits plus paid usage. It explains how the usage allowance is shared with Codex, how chat history and memory differ, and when to choose it over Copilot. It also covers organizational permissions, handling confidential information, and checking edits before you finish a document in Word.

Compare Codex Remote and Cloud by where work runs, PC sleep behavior, phone access, development environments, and usage allowances. Learn the conditions for the connected PC, Cloud setup and unsupported features, Handoff limits, and how Work Cloud and dot differ. Also see what to check when a connection fails.

Use Codex /goal to keep a completion condition across investigation, fixes, and verification. This guide separates desktop and CLI operations, gives example requests, and covers pausing, resuming, clearing, and reasons work stops partway. It also explains how token budgets differ from pricing and what evidence to check in a completion report.

Attach a saved recording to ChatGPT and turn the transcript into meeting minutes, interview notes, or lecture notes. The guide covers supported formats, the 512MB limit, differences from Voice and Record, troubleshooting, and separate API billing. It also explains how to check speakers and numbers, and how recordings are used for training and stored.

Before choosing Codex Security, compare the local plugin, the GitHub-connected Cloud service, and the standalone CLI. This guide uses official documentation to explain separate Cloud billing, conditional free scan credits, first-scan setup, Standard and Deep costs, scan coverage and reproduction evidence, and post-fix verification. It also covers when the standalone CLI uses an API key from the environment and how estimated cost limits work.
