You do not need to be a tech person to use AI…
If you can text, you can use AI to save time, spark ideas, and clean up messy writing.
What AI Is
Think of AI as a super fast helper that follows instructions. Clear instructions in, better results out.

Trip planner
Act as a travel planner. Budget is $1,200 for a 3-day trip from [city] in [month]. I like walkable neighborhoods, coffee shops, and museums. Create a daily plan with morning, afternoon, evening, plus two food spots per day.
Teach me fast
Explain the basics of [topic] in plain English. Give a 5-point summary, one real-world example, and a 3-question quiz.
Fix Common Frustrations
- Too vague Ask clarifying questions before you answer. Use only my details.
- Too fluffy Give numbered steps and one concrete example.
- Wrong format Return a table with columns: Task, Owner, Due Date, Status.
Basic Safety
Do not paste passwords or sensitive financial info. Ask for sources when facts matter. Double check names, dates, and numbers.
