I need to log into my personal Google account daily on my work laptop because I want to use ChatGPT Go, which I access through Chrome's Guest mode. After I'm done working, I close the Guest session, meaning I have to log in each day which prompts Google to send an SMS verification code. My main worry is whether this daily sign-in from the same work device—always using Guest mode—might raise any flags with Google, marking my account as suspicious or risky. Is this sign-in pattern safe, or should I rethink this approach?

I’d be a bit careful with that. While your company might be okay with you using ChatGPT Go, they could be monitoring everything that happens on their devices. Guest mode doesn't change how traffic flows through their network, so just keep in mind that they might have policies against personal use that you're not aware of.
You're right to be cautious, but usually, companies focus more on policy violations than micromanaging personal use. It may be fine unless it goes against any specific rules they have.
Honestly, it should be fine! Using Guest mode actually helps build trust since it treats each session fresh, so you shouldn't worry too much about it being flagged strangely.
I use it for work mainly because ChatGPT Go provides better answers. My company trusts me enough with it. I just don't want my account visible if someone else uses my laptop after me.
