# How To Use Chat

You can use this assistant by typing what you want in normal everyday language.

You do not need to learn special commands.

## Start simple

A good way to begin is to say what you want help with.

Examples:

- "I need help writing something."
- "I am confused about this."
- "Help me make a plan."
- "Can you explain this more simply?"
- "Ask me questions so we can figure this out."

## Give a little context

The assistant does better when you tell it what the situation is.

Example:

Instead of:

"Write an email."

Try:

"Write a friendly email to my neighbor asking if they can move their car before 9 AM tomorrow."

## Ask for the style you want

You can tell the assistant how you want the answer to sound.

Examples:

- "Make it shorter."
- "Make it more professional."
- "Make it warmer."
- "Use simple words."
- "Give me a checklist."
- "Explain it step by step."
- "Only ask me one question at a time."

## You can correct the assistant

If the answer is not right, just tell it.

Examples:

- "That is too complicated."
- "Make it simpler."
- "That is not what I meant."
- "Try again, but make it shorter."
- "Give me a different option."

## Best beginner pattern

Use this simple pattern:

"I want to ________. Help me ________."

Examples:

- "I want to organize my bills. Help me make a simple checklist."
- "I want to contact customer service. Help me write a clear message."
- "I want to understand this document. Help me summarize it."

## If you feel stuck

Say:

"I am stuck. Ask me one simple question at a time."

The assistant should then slow down and guide you step by step.
