The screen can look busy at first. But you only need a few buttons.

The big box at the bottom is where you type your question. That is the main one.

There is usually a button to start a new chat. It gives you a clean, fresh start.

Other icons are extra helpers, like voice. You can ignore the rest until you are ready.

Try this
  1. Find the box at the bottom. That is where you type.
  2. Look for a 'new chat' button to start over anytime.
  3. Tap the voice icon if you would rather speak.
  4. Leave the other buttons alone until you feel curious.

You do not need to learn every button. The typing box is all you truly need to start.
