To learn the tech, all you have to do is ask

chatbot about its own features and just ask, "How do I use you?" Or show me how to use your top features. It’s just that new users don’t know this as they’re too wary of trying in the first place.All the popular chatbots have a Live mode that new users are hesitant to use, for fear they’ll do something wrong or even broadcast something out to the internet if they’re not careful. It’s an underrated capability.

The voice mode is like a private phone call that allows for natural, hands-free dialogue. The AI persona is constantly refined to be more human, even detecting the user’s tone and adapting.Using these modes and the camera pointed at a problem, one can ask anything, including learning how to use the tech itself. A screen-sharing function lets one ask questions about what is currently on the screen and be guided step-by-step on how to use a feature.I recently met a group of people who were keen to understand AI, but in a safe and easy way.

Some were unaware of what a chatbot was and why one should be using LLMs at all. The fear of AI use proving too technically challenging, new privacy issues, and the sheer noise of the AI revolution have left many frozen in place. They feel like they’ve missed the first few chapters of a very long book and now can’t find their place.

But the reality is that AI onboarding isn’t happening in a classroom or through a manual; it’s happening through osmosis in the apps we already use. It’s going to be difficult not to use AI, which means AI literacy is more important than ever.Take Google Maps. It used to be a digital version of a paper atlas.
