1. Pick one assistant
Start with one of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. All have free tiers — don’t overthink it.
2. Give context, not just a question
Instead of “write an email”, say who you are, who it’s for, and what outcome you want.
3. Iterate
Reply with “shorter”, “more formal”, or “give me 3 options”. The first answer is a draft.
4. Verify facts
Assistants can be confidently wrong. For anything important, ask for sources and check them.
