Users can choose between depth and speed with GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Nano, tailoring the experience to Francophone communities.

We’re launching ChatGPT Français as a free, registration‑free option for French speakers across Europe, Africa, Canada, and beyond, featuring GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Nano.

The service adds Real-Time Web Access and Image Upload with Direct Analysis so users can get up‑to‑date information and multimodal insights without paying or signing in.

Positioned as an inclusive, no‑cost AI tailored to French speakers, the initiative aims to serve a broad international audience.

Image analysis expands the platform from text to multimodal tasks, enhancing study, work, and creative workflows.

New Image Upload and Direct Analysis enables OCR, diagram interpretation, object recognition, and descriptive analysis of uploaded images in French.

Real‑Time Web Access allows live internet searches within conversations, delivering sources and current information for research, finance, journalism, and learning.

The feature strengthens trust and utility for students, professionals, and journalists by providing up‑to‑date data and verifiable sources in French.

Early use cases include students getting help with current data, professionals monitoring live markets, journalists validating stories, and casual users exploring visuals.

The roadmap calls for faster performance, broader device accessibility, personalized response styles, and deeper integrations with educational and professional tools under leadership of Schoonhoven Veltrop.

Plans to embed the AI more deeply in learning platforms, digital workplaces, and research tools, making it a core companion for French speakers in learning and work.

Future plans extend multimodal capabilities toward audio and video, with performance optimizations and privacy‑preserving personalized preferences.

The overarching push centers on a multimodal AI that handles text and images now, with extensions planned to audio and video analysis.
