To cite the source in APA style, you can cite ChatGPT with OpenAI as the author: OpenAI. (Year). ChatGPT (Version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/.

In MLA style, you can cite the prompt rather than naming the AI as an author: "Your prompt text" prompt. ChatGPT, version, OpenAI, date, chat.openai.com.

Both the styles also expect you to disclose in your text how you used the tool, and many instructors restrict AI use entirely, check your assignment guidelines first. For a full walkthrough of citation formatting, see our Complete Guide to APA Citations.

Quetext's Citation Generator formats sources in APA, MLA, and Chicago so the rest of your reference list stays consistent.
