What could ChatGPT help you do first?

1. Meet your personal IT guy

See how ChatGPT can use approved apps on your computer. What would you ask first?

2. Open the ChatGPT app on your computer

Find the task mode inside the app and check the access you need.

3. Let ChatGPT see the problem

What lets ChatGPT see the task? Show the relevant app or screen and review its access.

4. Tell your IT guy what is wrong

Say what you wanted to happen and what happened instead. Use your own words.

5. Watch it work and stay in charge

What is it about to change? Watch ChatGPT and review the proposal before approving.

6. Check whether the fix worked

Did that help? Try the original task again and tell ChatGPT what actually happened.

7. When ChatGPT needs more help

Still stuck? Ask ChatGPT for a useful summary for a technician you trust.

8. Give ChatGPT its next everyday task

What else could you ask it to do? Reuse the same ask, watch, review and test approach.
