How to learn ChatGPT as a beginner

Start by using ChatGPT for one daily task, like rewriting a message or summarising an article. Then learn prompting basics: give context, a clear task, an example and the format you want. Practise on real work, check every answer for accuracy, and build a list of prompts you reuse.

A 4-step path

  • Week 1: everyday tasks (rewrite, summarise, explain)
  • Week 2: prompting basics: context, task, example, format
  • Week 3: work tasks: emails, posts, plans, spreadsheets
  • Week 4: build reusable prompts and check accuracy

Common mistakes

  • Vague one-line prompts
  • Trusting answers without checking
  • Sharing private information
