Learn ChatGPT, step by step

ChatGPT is the generalist most people start with. Getting good at it is less about secret prompts and more about framing the task, pushing back on the first answer, and checking the result.

Good for: Anyone starting out, and anyone who wants one assistant for writing, planning and questions.

The tool: ChatGPT (OpenAI), at chat.openai.com. AILE teaches it to learners 13 and older, in line with the provider's terms.
