AI (Artificial Intelligence) is technology that can help you think, write, plan, and solve problems.

You can ask it questions or give it a task, and it will generate ideas, summaries, or suggestions in seconds.

Think of AI as a helpful assistant that can save time on everyday tasks.

There are many free AI tools you can try. Each produces different results and may be better suited to different tasks.

When you’re starting out, choose one tool and get comfortable using it. Later, you can experiment with others.

A good place to start is ChatGPT or Claude.

A prompt is the instruction or question you give to an AI tool.

It tells the AI what you want help with.

For example, a prompt could be:

Help me plan simple meals for the week.

The more specific and detailed your prompt, the more useful the answer will be.

Many AI tools have free versions, including ChatGPT and Claude. These are usually enough when you’re starting out.

Paid plans typically cost around NZ$34 per month, which gives more features and higher usage limits.

If you find you are using AI everyday you may choose to pay for a monthly subscription. I recommend finding the AI you like the best and only subscribing to one.
