Learn how to use ChatGPT for the first time by turning a messy complaint into a professional email.

Steps

  1. Open your web browser and go to chat.openai.com.
  2. Click 'Sign up' to create a free account using your email, or log in if you already have one.
  3. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a long text box. This is where you type your message to the AI.
  4. Copy the prompt template below and paste it into the text box.
  5. Replace the words inside the curly brackets {like this} with your own information. For example, change {recipient} to 'the phone company'.
  6. Press the arrow button next to the text box (or press Enter) to send your message.
  7. Read the email ChatGPT writes for you. If you want it changed, type a new message in the same box like 'Make it shorter' or 'Make it sound more friendly' and press Enter.
  8. Copy the finished email and paste it into your normal email app to send it.

Prompts to Use

You are a professional assistant. I need to write an email to {recipient} about {issue}. I want the tone to be {tone}. Please write a short, polite email that explains the problem clearly and asks for {desired_outcome}. Keep it under 150 words and use standard email format.
