Getting Started with ChatGPT

A simple guide to help you ask better questions and get clearer answers.

So, you’ve heard of ChatGPT… maybe even opened it once… and then quietly closed the tab because you weren’t sure what to type. You’re not alone.

If AI tools like ChatGPT feel a bit intimidating or overhyped, you’re exactly who Magnum AI was built for.

This isn’t about becoming a tech wizard — it’s about saving time, simplifying tasks, and boosting creativity using tools that are actually meant to make life easier.

Here’s how to get started (and actually enjoy the process):


1. Start with something small and personal

Ask ChatGPT to help you write a thank-you note, suggest dinner ideas, or plan a weekend away. You’re not trying to impress anyone — you’re just learning the ropes.

Try this:

“Write a polite thank-you message to a friend who helped me move house last weekend.”

or

“Give me three healthy dinner ideas using chicken and sweet potato.”


2. Don’t stress about perfect prompts

You don’t need to speak in code. Just talk to it like a friendly assistant. If something’s unclear, it’ll usually ask you to clarify.


3. Ask it to explain things like you’re five

Literally. One of ChatGPT’s most useful features is being able to simplify anything — whether it’s a confusing email, a contract, or a business idea.

Try this:

“Explain cryptocurrency like I’m five.”

“What does ‘mutual indemnification’ mean in simple terms?”


4. Use it for things you already do

Writing social posts, organising a trip, planning your week, brainstorming gift ideas — it’s all easier with a bit of AI help.
