- Hover over GPT-4
- Click Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus
- Click Upgrade to Plus

Congratulations! You now have access to the world’s most powerful public-access artificial intelligence. You can ask it to answer questions, write code, brainstorm ideas, write stories, and a lot more!
Bonus: Beta Features
The beta features will likely not be available when you first upgrade your account, but use ChatGPT consistently for a while and OpenAI will add them to your account. You may need to go into your settings and request access to beta features in order for them to be added.
The Browse with Bing beta feature allows GPT-4 to browse the web when answering questions. This allows it to get around the pesky message you will often see about GPT-4 having a knowledge cutoff of September 2021. The web browsing feature was extremely slow at first, but it has come a long way.
The DALL-E 3 beta feature is a major leap forward. It allows you to provide images in your questions to GPT-4, and it also allows GPT-4 to generate images as part of its responses.
Pretty amazing!
