Answering your questions about business and technology

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”

• • 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
    

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.
