A plain-English guide for people who didn't grow up with this
And you can keep asking — like talking to a patient, knowledgeable friend. AI for Everyday People shows you how to use free tools like ChatGPT for the things you actually do: writing emails, planning trips, and making sense of confusing paperwork. No jargon. No hype. Nothing to install.

Here's the whole idea
You type a question the way you'd ask a person. It answers. You ask a follow-up. That's it — that's the skill.
No commands to memorize. No settings to fiddle with. If you can send a text message, you can do this. The book simply shows you what to ask — and what to do with the answers.
From the desk of Kathy Prince
Does it feel like the whole world learned something behind your back?
Every news broadcast mentions AI. Your grandkids use it for homework. Your bank, your doctor's office, even your grocery store all seem to assume you know what it is and how it works.
Meanwhile, nobody has ever sat down and explained it to you like a human being. The articles are written for programmers. The YouTube videos talk a hundred miles an hour. And half of what you see online is someone promising you'll get rich with it — which sounds exactly like every other scam you've learned to ignore.
Here's what I want you to know: the technology itself is the easy part. Easier than the VCR was. Easier than email was. You type a question in ordinary English, and it answers in ordinary English. The only thing standing between you and that is nobody ever showing you where to start.
So I wrote the book I couldn't find — a warm, plain-spoken guide that walks you through your very first question and then shows you, one everyday task at a time, how this becomes the most useful thing on your computer. Not someday. This week.

What's inside
Every chapter is built around something you already do — with the exact words to type, and what to expect back.
Where to go, what to click, and word-for-word what to type — so your first five minutes end in success, not frustration.
Thank-you notes, tricky replies, complaint letters, birthday messages — drafted in seconds, polished in your own voice.
Insurance letters, medical summaries, contracts, instructions — hand them over and get a translation you can actually use.
Build a road-trip itinerary, plan a week of dinners around what's in the fridge, or organize a family reunion — by asking.
The one habit that separates people who love AI from people who gave up: keep the conversation going. "Shorter." "Simpler." "What about...?"
What never to share, when to double-check an answer, and how to spot the moments a computer shouldn't have the final word.
