   Getting started with an AI assistant

   Learn

   ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are separate products made by OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. You sign up with each provider directly; Buddy2Build teaches how to use them well.

   Each has a free tier with limits and paid plans with more features. Plans and features change, so check the provider's own site.

   Practise This

   Sign up for one assistant you have not used yet and ask it to explain what it can and cannot do.

   Comparing tools on the same task

   Learn

   The best way to choose a tool is to test it on your own real work. Different assistants have different writing styles and strengths.

   Give each the same prompt and compare clarity, accuracy and tone rather than relying on reviews.

   Practise This

   Send the same prompt to two different assistants and write down which answer you would actually use, and why.

   Working with files and longer projects

   Learn

   Many assistants can read documents you upload and keep context across a conversation, which helps with longer work.

   Break big jobs into steps: outline first, then draft each section, then review the whole piece.

   Practise This

   Upload a non-sensitive document and ask for a one-paragraph summary plus three key action points.
