AI Assistants: Your New Helper

Everyone’s talking about AI; almost nobody explains it in plain English. This class does — then puts an assistant to work on your real life: letters, recipes, plans, and the questions you’d rather not ask anyone else. Clear-eyed about what it gets wrong, too.

It’s for the curious reader who keeps hearing about ChatGPT and wants in — without feeling foolish.

Questions worth asking

Do I need to buy or install anything?

No — the free versions of the big assistants are plenty to start, and the class shows you where to find them.

Which assistant does it teach?

The ideas work in all of them — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and the one already on your phone.

Is AI safe to use?

With the habits this class teaches, yes — and it’s honest about the flaws. Lessons 5 to 7 cover the wrong answers, the privacy rules and the new scams squarely.
