DIY: ChatGPT for Under $1/month for casual users

Navigating admin tasks efficiently and affordably has become simpler with ChatGPT. If you like the free version of OpenAI ChatGPT 3.5 and are tired of hitting limitations this article is for you.

If your admin needs don't extend to advanced features like uploading files or integrating screenshots, ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo core functions are more than adequate. While there are many open source options, OpenAI's ChatGPT Turbo remains a powerful tool. It outshines many open-source alternatives, especially when you consider its affordability.

As of this update, you're looking at $1.50 for 1 million generate tokens/words, which is quite a bargain. To put it into perspective, generating text equivalent to a 300-page book would cost you about $0.12 to $0.20—a fraction of your admin budget.

OpenAI's pricing is always evolving, so for the most up-to-date info, especially on ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo prices, head over to OpenAI's Pricing Page. For those inclined to a bit of DIY, I've crafted a straightforward chatbot script in PHP that's easy to install and run on your local machine. This is perfect for integrating ChatGPT into your workflow for an order of magnitude less than the price of full subscription for casual users.
