Try one real task today: summarizing, explaining, brainstorming, or making a checklist.

3

Choose a beginner-friendly assistant such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot.

Practice three starter prompt patterns: explain, summarize, and action plan.

Adopt a safety habit: avoid sensitive data and verify important answers.
