Your first question, one step at a time.
If you can send a text message, you can do this. Press "Next step" when you are ready; nothing moves on by itself.
- Open the ChatGPT app. It is free on any phone or tablet. On a computer, go to chatgpt.com.
- Tap the box that says "Ask anything".
- Type your question the way you would say it to a friend.
- Tap the arrow to send it.
- Read the answer. Not quite right? Say what to change, in plain words.
You are early, not late.
Most people your age have not started yet. The ones who have use it for small, everyday things: a letter, a recipe, a word on a bill they did not understand.
You type a question in your own words, and it writes back. That is the whole idea; the e-book does the rest, at your pace.
Small jobs, done in a minute.
Real kinds of requests, with the kind of answer that comes back. The e-book shows dozens more, with the words to use.
Copy, change one detail, send.
Press "Copy this request", open ChatGPT, press and hold in the box and choose Paste. The e-book has 100 of these, sorted by what you want to do.
Explain what "standing charge" means on my electricity bill, in three short sentences.
Write a short thank-you note to my neighbour for watering my plants while I was away. Warm, not too long.
Plan a day out in Bruges for two people who prefer short walks, a good lunch and somewhere to sit by the water.
Give me 3 questions to ask my doctor about my new blood pressure tablets. I want to understand my options.
Helpful, and sometimes wrong. The e-book shows you both.
Checking what AI assistants tell people is our daily work at Visibian. They are often a great help, and sometimes they sound certain and are wrong. Chapter 11 shows how to check an answer, and what never to type:
- Your bank card or account number
- Passwords, PINs and the codes sent to your phone
- Your passport or ID number
- Private details about other people
Scammers use AI too. Our other guide, Is this a scam?, shows the new tricks.
Twelve short chapters and 100 requests.
Each chapter takes about 15 minutes, ends with one thing to try, and can be read again whenever you need it.

Fair questions, plain answers.
Do I have to pay for ChatGPT?
No. Everything in the e-book works with the free version of ChatGPT, as it was in November 2026. A paid plan is optional; the e-book explains what it adds, so you can decide.
Phone, tablet or computer?
Any of them. The e-book shows each step on a phone and says where a tablet or computer is different.
Is ChatGPT safe to use?
It is safe when you keep a few rules: never type bank details, passwords or ID numbers, and check important answers with a person. Chapter 11 covers this step by step.
Is this e-book from OpenAI?
No. ChatGPT is made by OpenAI. This is an independent e-book by the team behind Visibian, and OpenAI has not reviewed or endorsed it.
What if the app changes?
Apps change their look often. For 12 months after the e-book arrives, you get updated editions free, by email.
What about Gemini, Copilot and the others?
Chapter 12 shows the same skills in Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Once you can use one, the others feel familiar.

Who writes it?
The team behind Visibian. Our daily work is checking what AI assistants such as ChatGPT tell people. Before a chapter is final, a panel of readers over 55 tests it and tells us what was unclear. You can join the panel when you join the waitlist.
