Question

I’m getting frustrated with ChatGPT and someone recommended Gemini.  Where should I start?

~ Jaime

Answer

Hi Jaime,

If you are already familiar with ChatGPT, Gemini shouldn’t take you long to get used to.

    • Go to gemini.google.com
    • Click on the area in the center where it says “Enter a prompt for Gemini”A screenshot of the Gemini AI dark-mode user interface. The text at the top reads, "Hi Damien," followed by an announcement: "Fast is now powered by 3 Flash. Try it," with a purple arrow button. A central text input field contains the placeholder "Enter a prompt for Gemini." At the bottom, five pill-shaped buttons offer quick actions: "Create image," "Write anything," "Help me learn," "Boost my day," and "Explore visually."
    • Type in your first Gemini prompt.  If you can’t think of anything, here are some ideas
      • Ask it a question
      • Ask it to tell you a random fact
      • Ask it to generate a random image
      • Or try “How can someone new to Gemini get started using it?”
    • If you would rather talk than type, click on the microphone to turn on dictation mode
      A screenshot of the Gemini AI user interface, identical to the previous image, with the addition of a prominent orange arrow pointing directly to the microphone icon located at the far right of the text input box. The arrow highlights the voice input feature within the interface.

There are a lot of similarities with ChatGPT and there are many things that are different with Gemini.  Explore, try things out and come back with any new questions.

Hope that helps.
