1. Getting Started with AI Tools

Before beginning, you’ll need to create a free ChatGPT (alternatively, you can use Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, or CoPilot) account using your email or a Google, Microsoft, or Apple account. Visit the ChatGPT website and click “sign up.” Verify your phone number and confirm your email to complete signup. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard to start chatting.

Users can also opt to subscribe to ChatGPT’s pro plan, which is $20 per month for an individual user. A paid plan unlocks enhanced features, including faster response times, priority access to new features and updates, and increased usage limits.

Sending Your First Message
