At Plus One Foundation, we’re always looking for ways to help you live your best possible life, especially when it comes to using technology. We understand that technology can be overwhelming, but we believe that artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to make things easier for you. There are undoubtedly frustrations and challenges that come with using smartphones and computers. You may find yourself repeating tasks, like downloading the same files over and over, but there are AI tools that can help you with these tasks.
AI tools, like ChatGPT, can be incredibly helpful. Founder and President Kacey Kroeger uses ChatGPT daily to help with tasks ranging from writing letters to finding articles online, saving time and keeping track of things for her. AI helps make communication easier and can organize your information, making everyday tasks smoother. It’s like having a helpful assistant right at your fingertips! The challenge isn’t always how AI works, it’s knowing what’s out there and how to use it. Kacey explained, “Not only is it hard to navigate to find these tools, but it's also very beneficial to have someone walk me through how to use them a few times. Once this happens, I then have the ability to maximize the uses on my own”.
Now let’s talk about how to use ChatGPT:
You can find ChatGPT by searching “ChatGPT” or “OpenAI” in any browser and navigating to the “Start now” or “Try ChatGPT” buttons. You can also install the ChatGPT app on your phone in Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store. Once you get to the prompt screen that says “What can I help with?”, type any question or request into the chat box as if you were speaking with a human assistant. You can ask it to help with writing, planning, or even just having a conversation. As you use it more, it will become easier to see how it can be helpful for your day-to-day tasks. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need someone to walk you through it!
We’re excited about how AI can make life easier for you. Plus One is here to support you every step of the way as you explore these helpful tools. Stay tuned for more resources, tips, and workshops to help you get started with AI and how to utilize it for some of your everyday tasks.
