Just getting started with AI? Try this Prompt

Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool of choice:

I'm new to generative AI.

Act as a teacher to help me understand how I can use generative AI in my work as [your job role and industry].

I'm interested in learning about [your area of interest].

I'm concerned about privacy, risk, accuracy and relevance.

Step me through so that I can understand what generative AI is, how I can use it, the risks I should be aware of and how I can mitigate them.

Ask me questions one at a time until you have all the context you need to provide a relevant, concise and easy to follow guide for me.

Which AI Tool Should I Start With?

When people ask me which tool to start with I always ask questions like:

Where do you get most of your work done? If you use Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams etc) then start with Copilot. If you work in Google Workspace then Gemini is a great place to start.

What do you want to do? ChatGPT is a great generalist AI tool. If you are more creative then an AI image tool like Midjourney might interest you.
