Find my starting point

About eight questions, three to four minutes. There are no trick questions: "I don't know" is a good answer when it is true. Your answers stay on this page; only the recommended starting point is kept in this browser.

Where are you today with AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot…)?

I have never used them I know the names, but I have hardly ever tried I use them from time to time I use them regularly for real tasks

What have you already done yourself with an AI? Tick everything that is true.

Summarise or rephrase a text Prepare a document: an email, meeting notes, a presentation Fix an answer by saying what was wrong Let an AI read and change files on my computer (Claude Code, Codex or another agent) Set up a task that runs on its own with an AI None of these

You want help writing to your landlord about a water leak. Which request will give the best result?

"Write an email about a water leak." "Write a short, polite email to my landlord: leak under the sink since Monday, I am asking for a repair this week. Suggest two versions." "You are the best writer in the world: write the perfect email." I don't know

For a presentation, the AI gives you a precise date and figure. You have doubts about whether they are accurate. What do you do?

I keep them: it sounds sure of itself I check them in a reliable source before using them I ask the same question a second time: if it repeats, it is right I don't know

The answer is too long and the tone does not suit you. What is the best next step?

Open a new conversation and ask the same question again Say, in the same conversation, what is wrong: shorter, simpler, a more direct tone Keep it as it is: the AI knows better than I do I don't know

You need to summarise a ten-page document for a meeting. Which method is the safest?

Paste the document and write "summarise" Give the document, say who the summary is for and in what form, then check the figures and names Ask for the summary and send it as it is: AI does not make mistakes when summarising I don't know

What is the main difference between a chatbot (ChatGPT in the browser, for example) and an agent such as Claude Code?

The agent is simply smarter The agent can act on its own: read and change files on your computer, run commands None: they are two names for the same thing I don't know

An agent offers to delete 40 files to tidy up your folder. What do you do?

I let it: that is its job I ask for the list, check that I have a copy, then approve it myself I stop everything: you can never trust an AI with your files I don't know

What would you most like to do with AI?

Learn the basics Get help with my studies and everyday life Save time in my work Create content: texts, visuals, videos Have an agent work on my projects Automate tasks or build tools
