ChatGPT

ChatGPT is where most people meet AI for the first time, and it is also where most people quietly give up on it. They type one vague question, get a mediocre answer, and conclude the hype was overblown. The gap between that experience and getting real value is smaller than it looks, and it is mostly about knowing what the tool is good at and how to ask.

These guides come from my own daily use, not from press releases. I explain what ChatGPT actually does under the hood in plain language, where the free tier ends and the paid one begins, and the handful of habits that turn a frustrating first session into something you reach for every day. When ChatGPT is the wrong tool for a job, I say so and point you at what I would use instead.
