Simple, friendly guidance on what today's computer helpers can do — and how to try them yourself.
You may have heard the words "Artificial Intelligence" or "AI" in the news. Do not let those words worry you. A computer helper is simply a program that can understand your questions and give you helpful answers — a bit like having a very patient, knowledgeable friend available any time of day.
Think of it like this: instead of calling someone for help, you type (or speak) your question into a box on the screen — and the computer gives you a friendly, clear answer straight away. You do not need to know how it works to use it. You just need to know what you would like help with.
Wondering about a medicine? Not sure what a word means? Want to know today's weather? Just type your question and get a clear answer.
Not sure how to word something? The computer helper can write a message to your doctor, a letter to your landlord, or a note to a family member — and you just review and send it.
See something written in a language you do not speak? The computer can translate it for you right away.
Found a long article but do not want to read the whole thing? Ask the computer to give you a short summary in plain, simple words.
Stuck on something? Describe your problem and the computer will walk you through the steps — slowly and clearly.
Feeling a little lonely or just curious about something? Computer helpers are always happy to have a conversation, answer questions, or tell you something interesting.
After an appointment, you can ask the computer to explain medical words in plain English. Always follow your doctor's advice — the computer just helps you understand.
Describe what you are trying to do on your phone or tablet, and the computer will explain each step clearly, as many times as you need.
Not sure which product to buy? Ask the computer what to look for and it will give you honest, straightforward advice.
Ask for book recommendations, recipe ideas, crossword hints, or tips for your garden. The computer can be a wonderful companion for your interests.
You do not need any special equipment or accounts to get started. Come to one of our free workshops and we will sit with you, answer your questions, and help you try it yourself — step by step.
