ChatGPT / Getting Started / Free guide
YOUR AI STARTER CHECKLIST
You do not need a complicated stack. Pick one task you already do, use a tool to get a draft, and decide what is worth keeping.
1. Choose the task, then the tool
- ChatGPT or Claude: brainstorm, organize, draft and critique words or ideas.
- Canva AI: make a first visual direction, then refine the details yourself.
- CapCut: speed up a rough video edit and captions.
- Instagram Automations: explore how to deliver a resource after a comment, once the resource is ready.
Try one tool first. Adding five accounts in one day is usually a distraction.
2. Copy one of these prompts
To start: “Ask me five questions about [task], one at a time. Then help me make a simple first draft for [audience].”
To improve: “Here is my draft. What is unclear, missing or too generic for [audience]? Give me three specific changes.”
To act: “Turn this into three practical steps I can finish this week. Include the first 15-minute action.”
3. Your first week
- Day 1: write down one recurring task and what a good result would look like.
- Days 2–3: test one prompt using your real information. Remove private details you do not need to share.
- Days 4–5: check the output for accuracy, tone and missing context. Edit it yourself.
- Days 6–7: save the improved prompt and note what you changed. Use it again next week.
The win is a repeatable step that saves you effort, not a perfect answer on the first try.
