3 min read Always free

ChatGPT is a free helper you can chat with. You type a question, and it types back.

A company called OpenAI made it. You do not need to know them to use it.

It can help you write, plan, explain things, and answer questions. You talk to it in plain words.

It is not a person and it is not perfect. But it is patient and never judges you.

Try this
  1. Go to the ChatGPT website or app.
  2. Type your question in the box, like you are texting a kind friend.
  3. Press send and read the reply.
  4. Ask more if you want. It will not get tired.
A message you can copy

I am new to ChatGPT. Can you explain what you can help me with in simple words?

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
