How to Start Your Adventure with AI Chats? 

Introduction – What Are AI Chats and Why Use Them? 

AI chats are advanced assistants in chat form that use artificial intelligence to communicate with users in natural language. In other words, these are programs (so-called AI chatbots) with which you can converse as you would with a human—asking questions or giving commands, and they generate responses based on vast knowledge learned from the data they were trained on. Thanks to this, they can tell stories, explain concepts, offer advice, and even help solve problems. 

Why is it worth using AI chats? First and foremost, they can save time and increase productivity. They automate routine tasks (like writing emails or reports), provide quick answers to questions, support brainstorming and idea generation, and are available 24/7—so you can get help any time. Importantly, using these tools doesn’t require any specialist knowledge—interaction is simply through conversation. For beginners (even in industries like pharmaceuticals or cosmetics), AI chats can be an accessible entry into the world of artificial intelligence, letting you experience its practical potential in everyday work and learning. 

In summary, AI chats represent a new way of interacting with technology that can make our lives easier—so it’s definitely worth trying and starting your own AI adventure. 

A Bit of Theory: How AI Works (Simply and Visually) 

Modern AI, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok, are so-called large language models (LLMs). You can think of them as super-advanced autocomplete keyboards that have “read” millions of books, articles, and web pages. Such a model doesn’t understand the world like a human—it simply predicts the next words or elements of a response based on patterns learned during training. Thanks to advanced neural networks, AI can maintain the context of a conversation, analyze images, sound, and even video, generate creative texts, and solve complex problems.

Prompt Writing Rules – How to Ask AI for the Best Answers 

To get a satisfying answer from an AI chat, you need to ask the right way. Such a command or question you enter is called a prompt. The quality of the answer often depends on how clearly and precisely you formulate your prompt. Here are some key prompt-writing rules:: 

  • Clearly define your goal and context: State exactly what you want. Avoid vague commands. If you need a specific outcome, mention it. 

Example: Instead of just “Create a presentation,” specify the topic and details:“Create an outline for a 5-slide presentation on new trends in organic cosmetics, emphasizing ingredient safety and effectiveness.”This tells the AI what the topic is, the scope (5 slides), and highlights (safety and effectiveness) 

  • Provide context or extra info: If the question is about a specific situation or needs to include some data, mention it in your prompt. AI can’t read your mind or know what you didn’t write. The more relevant details you provide, the better the answer.  Example: “You’re an assistant in the marketing department. Our company is launching a new vitamin C face cream. Write a Facebook post promoting this product, aimed at young adult women.”This gives context (marketing assistant, vitamin C cream) and the audience, making the AI’s post more on-target. 
  • Specify the answer format: •  If you need the answer in a particular form (e.g., bulleted list, table, code, abstract), mention it in your prompt. You can say “bullet-point the answer” or “present the solution as a step-by-step list.” AI will adjust its style. 

Example: “Give me a list of 5 new tea flavor ideas, each with a short (one sentence) description.” 

Here, you clearly ask for a list and what it should include. 

  • Set the desired detail and length:  Indicate how detailed the answer should be. Do you want a short paragraph or a half-page explanation? You can say, “write in two sentences…” or “prepare a detailed report (~200 words)…” This avoids overly short or too long answers.  
  • Break complex tasks into steps if needed: For complicated queries, it’s better to split them into smaller parts or have a step-by-step dialogue. You might ask for a general explanation first, then ask for details. AI “remembers” previous exchanges within a chat, so you can refine your questions. This iterative method helps achieve a better result than a single, huge prompt. 
  • Avoid ambiguity:  Make sure there are no sentences in your prompt that AI could misinterpret. If something could be understood in two ways, clarify it. Example: Instead of “develop a medicine” (which AI might read as a scientific process), say “give ideas for improving the formula of drug X on the market”—if that’s what you mean. 

Remember: practice makes perfect. The art of writing good prompts (sometimes called prompt engineering) is about experimenting. Don’t be discouraged if the first answer isn’t perfect. Edit your questions, clarify, and try again. You’ll quickly get a feel for how to get exactly what you need from AI chats. 

Overview of AI Chat Applications 

AI chats are incredibly versatile—you can use them in many areas of your professional and personal life. Here’s an overview of potential uses, split into two categories: work and daily life. 

At Work (Professional Use) 

  • Text creation and editing: AI is great as a co-author. It can help you write a company blog article, product description, report, or polish an existing text for style and grammar. Just provide a draft or the key info, and you’ll get a refined piece. Especially handy when starting from scratch. 
  • Writing emails and offers: In office work, we often send similar messages or offers. AI can generate drafts for professional emails, like client reminders, thank-you notes, or payment follow-ups. It can also help create business proposals—just describe what you want, and the model will suggest polished wording. 
  • Preparing presentations: Making presentations can be time-consuming. AI can help by creating slide outlines on a topic, suggesting headings, bullet points, and content. Some tools (like SlidesAI) can auto-generate outlines from your text, so you don’t start from a blank slide. 
  • Data analysis and reporting: While AI chats won’t replace advanced analytics tools, they can help interpret and summarize data. If you paste sales results or other data as text (e.g., a copied table), you can ask AI to extract key conclusions or write a short report. AI can spot trends, note dependencies, and suggest recommendations—like summarizing data for a manager. 
  • Social media and marketing: In marketing, AI chats are great for creating social media content. They can suggest catchy slogans, post topics, write drafts for sponsored articles or scripts for short promo videos. AI makes it easier to generate many ideas for a campaign or prepare a posting calendar. The model can tailor its tone to the target group—different for youth on Instagram, different for LinkedIn. 
  • Customer service: AI chatbots are increasingly used as the first line of customer service. On websites, they can answer FAQs, help solve simple problems, or accept requests 24/7. Staff can also use AI as an assistant—to draft polite replies or summarize long correspondence. This speeds up work and ensures more consistent answers. 

(Of course, these are just a few examples. In nearly every industry—from finance, HR, to R&D—there are tasks where AI can help, though always with human oversight.) 

In Daily Life (Personal Use) 

  • Planning and organization: Want to organize your time better? AI chat can act as a virtual assistant, planning your day or week, creating study schedules, or laying out a prep plan for big events (like a wedding or a move). Just describe your goals and time constraints, and AI will suggest an optimal plan. 
  • Cooking and meal planning: Unsure what to cook from what’s in your fridge? Or want a weekly meal plan? AI chats are great for culinary inspiration. List your ingredients, and AI will suggest recipes. Or ask for a multi-day meal plan (e.g., for a vegetarian diet or set calories). The model can also create a shopping list. It’s like having a virtual dietitian and chef. 
  • Travel and leisure: Planning a trip can be overwhelming—choosing places, attractions, hotels. AI chat can be a personal travel advisor. Based on your preferences (e.g., “we like museums and local food”), it’ll plan your trip, suggest cities to visit, map out itineraries, recommend how long to stay, and suggest restaurants or dishes. Similarly, you can ask for weekend activity ideas, things to do with kids, or book recommendations. 
  • Education and learning: As a home tutor, AI is surprisingly effective. You can ask it to explain complex topics in simple terms, walk you through math problems step by step, or even role-play an oral exam. For language learners, AI can conduct conversations, correct your sentences, and explain mistakes. The educational potential is huge—from elementary school to university and specialized courses (though info should always be verified). 
  • Personal finance: Managing household budgets or understanding complex financial concepts can be tough. Here, AI can serve as a financial consultant (though it won’t replace an advisor!). You can ask for help planning a monthly budget—AI will suggest how to allocate money, where to save, how much for treats, based on your income and expenses. It can also explain loans, deposits, or insurance in layman’s terms. When planning big expenses (car, home), AI can list what to check and compare options. Note: treat AI’s financial advice as guidance—always consult important decisions with an expert. 

As you can see, AI chats have very broad applications. Every user can find different benefits—from minor daily help to significant work improvements. It’s worth experimenting and discovering new areas where AI can support you.

Work (professional use): 

  • “Analyze the following sales data from last quarter: [insert data]. Then write a report (in 5 points) with the key trends, conclusions, and suggested actions for the next period.” (Data analysis/reporting) 
  • “Write a polite email reminding a client about an overdue payment for invoice no. 123, sent 10 days ago. Keep a professional tone and ask for feedback if there are any questions.” (Client correspondence) 
  • “You are a social media specialist at a cosmetics company. Prepare a LinkedIn post promoting our new retinol face cream. Highlight the scientifically proven effects of retinol and mention that the product is now available at a 20% discount.” (Marketing/social media) 

Daily life: 

  • “Plan a weekly menu for a family of four. Include healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for 7 days and make a shopping list of needed products.” (Meal planning/shopping) 
  • “Help me organize a 5-day trip in Italy, visiting Rome and Florence. Suggest a daily plan: key landmarks to see, local foods to try, and evening activities. Also provide estimated costs of the main attractions.” (Trip planning) 
  • “Suggest a few creative indoor activities for children aged 6–8 for a rainy day. Briefly describe each and list any needed materials.” (Ideas for kids’ activities) 

Education/learning: 

  • “Explain in simple words what photosynthesis is. Provide a definition and describe the process as if you were explaining to a 10-year-old.” (Explaining complex concepts) 
  • “Prepare a quiz with 5 multiple-choice questions about lab safety rules. For each, provide 4 possible answers, mark the correct one, and add a brief explanation.” (Creating educational/testing materials) 
  • “Help me learn 10 basic polite phrases in Spanish (e.g., good morning, thank you, sorry). Provide the Polish phrase, its Spanish translation, and phonetic pronunciation in brackets.” (Learning foreign languages) 
  • Each of these prompts is worded to clearly define the task and expectations for the answer. You’ll notice details are included (e.g., target audience, children’s age, number of quiz questions)—all of which help AI better understand the context and deliver a better response. 

Feel free to use these as inspiration for your own queries. 

Useful Tools for Working with AI 

Besides chat models themselves (like ChatGPT or Claude), there are many tools and apps that use AI to make various tasks easier. Here are a few handy tools to support your work with AI and expand its possibilities: 

Perplexity.ai – An AI-powered search engine. It works like a regular web search, but instantly provides you with an answer to your query, often citing sources. This is handy when you need a short answer from up-to-date data and like to know where AI gets its info (increasing trustworthiness).

Upload your PDFs, notes, presentations, or even video transcripts, and NotebookLM analyzes the content and becomes an expert in your materials. You can ask questions about your docs (“Summarize the main findings,” “List key recommendations,” “Explain concept X from the document”), and AI answers based only on your sources. NotebookLM can also create summaries, key point lists, timelines, FAQs, or even audio podcasts from text. Ideal for researchers, students, analysts, managers—anyone working with lots of documents who wants to extract the essentials fast. 

Of course, there are many more tools—almost every week new AI improvements appear. It’s worth following industry blogs and forums to stay up to date. The examples above are a great starting point, showing the range: from text, through graphics, to presentations and document analysis. 

Security & Ethics – What to Remember When Using AI 

Finally, a very important topic: security and ethics when using AI chats. Like any technology, AI is a tool to use wisely. Key rules to keep in mind: 

  • Privacy and data confidentiality: Never assume a conversation with a public chatbot is 100% private. Most services (like ChatGPT) store your queries and may use them to further train models or improve the service. Never share sensitive data—personal data, confidential company info, trade secrets, or patient data. This is especially important in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries due to secret formulas, research data, or client info. If you must use such data, consider on-premise AI solutions or those guaranteeing full 

encryption and data processing only within your organization. 

  • Verify facts and results: AI chats are not always correct. The model may sound confident, but sometimes gives wrong or even made-up information (so-called AI hallucinations). Especially in professional use, always confirm key info from an independent source. AI doesn’t understand reality—it works on word statistics, so it can make blunders. It may mix up numbers, misattribute sources, or invent fake scientific articles as references. Always read AI answers critically and treat them as suggestions or drafts, not infallible solutions. 
  • Awareness of limitations and biases: AI models learn from huge internet datasets. This means they can inherit biases present in the data. Sometimes, AI may generate stereotypical, biased, or even offensive content—even if that’s not your intention—because of training data. Be aware AI may not be fully objective. If you’re asking for advice, remember AI doesn’t have its own wisdom—it aggregates what it’s seen in data. On sensitive, worldview, or ethical issues, use particular caution, as AI may not account for cultural context or the latest social changes. 
  • Ethical use of the tool: Use AI ethically. Don’t use AI chats for illegal activities, spreading disinformation, or plagiarizing others’ work. If you use AI to create content (like articles, assignments, posts), be transparent—don’t claim AI-generated ideas as your own, and never use AI to cheat (e.g., in exams or by stealing others’ creative work). In some situations (e.g., scientific publications or official documents), it’s best to state that AI assistance was used. Remember, certain fields (like medicine, law) have special regulations—AI does not replace a professional doctor or lawyer. It can help write or explain, but the final responsibility is always human. 
  • Use trusted sources and versions: Many apps claim to be AI or use older, less secure models. Choose reputable platforms (official OpenAI, Anthropic, Google sites, etc.) or recognized tools mentioned above. Avoid entering your login or financial data into suspicious apps promising “miracle AI”—unfortunately, scams are common alongside the AI boom. 

In conclusion: AI chats are powerful, exciting tools that have only recently become widely available. They can greatly ease work, study, and everyday tasks—but the key is wise and responsible use. By sticking to safety and ethics principles and staying open to experimentation, you’ll definitely get plenty of value from this technology. Good luck with your AI chat adventure!
