ChatGPT is a conversational AI assistant that can help with writing, studying, planning, coding, and files; important facts and decisions still need checking.
From question to a useful draft
Begin with one task: an email, a study plan, a document summary or a small piece of code. Explain your goal, give the necessary context, and specify the format and review criteria. Use information you are authorized to share; remove private details that the task does not need.
The assistant can produce a draft and help you revise it. A confident answer can still contain errors. Open cited sources, check dates, and compare calculations or quotations with the originals. Features and usage limits depend on your account and can change.
Practice before relying on an answer
Try the same task with a clear prompt and a vague prompt. Compare how much review each result requires. Save the prompt that works for your task, together with the checks you used.
