Section 5 / Always Remember

The daily rules

These matter every single time you use AI.

1Check before you trust. AI can sound 100 percent sure and still be wrong. Double-check facts, numbers, names, and dates.

2Keep private things private. Never paste passwords, account numbers, ID numbers, health details, or your home address.

3You own what you send. Read every answer before you use it. "The AI said so" is not an excuse.

4Be clear in your ask. Say what you want and who it is for. A better question gives a better answer.

5AI is a first draft, not the final word. Your judgment makes the call, not the tool.

6Stop for big stuff. For legal, medical, money, or major decisions, confirm with a real person or trusted source.

7It can be out of date. For anything that changes fast, like prices, rules, or news, check the latest.

Section 6 / Try It Now

Hands-on, under 10 minutes

Use any free tool from the Start Here section.

1Open one free tool and start a new chat.

2Pick any prompt from this module and paste it in.

3Change the words in [brackets] to fit your real life.

4Read the answer, then ask for one change: "make it shorter" or "make it simpler."

What to notice: how much closer the answer gets once you add your own details.

Section 7 / Daily Toolkit

Free tools you can use every day

All of these have a free version. Use them for home life, errands, and the small jobs in between.

Phone AI apps

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini all have free phone apps. Talk instead of typing, or snap a photo of a letter and ask what it means.

Google Translate / DeepL

translate.google.com / deepl.com. Translate a message, menu, or letter. Point your camera at a sign and it translates on the spot.

Canva (free)

canva.com. Make invitations, flyers, and posters for family or school events. Magic Write helps with the words.

Grammarly (free)

grammarly.com. Checks spelling and tone as you type emails and messages, so they read clean before you hit send.

Goblin Tools

goblin.tools. Breaks a big chore into small steps. Great when a task feels too big to start.

Perplexity

perplexity.ai. Answers with links to the source, so you can check it. Good for prices, rules, and anything that changes fast.

Copilot in Edge

The free Copilot button in the Edge browser sums up a web page or PDF you have open.

Tip: add the ones you like to your phone home screen, so help is one tap away.

Section 8 / What's Next
