A conversation can take it from there.In Making a New Friend, Shawn Taylor shares how everyday conversations with an AI assistant became practical help for planning, shopping decisions, work, creativity, learning, and personal growth. It is written for hesitant beginners and curious skeptics, in plain language, with no technical background needed.Inside, you will find: - A short first-conversation walkthrough, from a simple request to a useful revised message- Hundreds of adaptable prompts you can copy, change, and make your own- Examples of follow-up questions that turn a so-so reply into one that fits- Ways to use AI to organize your week, compare purchases, brainstorm, work smarter, and have fun- Plain guidance on privacy settings, memory, and checking sources before you rely on an answerThe book uses ChatGPT for its main examples so you have one clear path to follow, and the same conversational approach works with other assistants too.AI is not a replacement for real people or your own judgment. You bring the purpose and the decisions. The conversation gives you something to work with.
