Cover of ChatGPT for Mom and Dad, a 45-prompt guide

If you're buying this for a parent

You've tried explaining ChatGPT twice already. This is the version that doesn't need you in the room — plain language, copy-paste prompts, zero tech jargon.

If you're buying this for yourself

You keep hearing people talk about ChatGPT and feel behind. This gets you from "what do I even type" to actually using it in about twenty minutes.

Three prompts from inside

Every entry works the same way: what it's for, exactly what to type, and how to make ChatGPT's answer better if it's not quite right.

01 — Understand a confusing letter

You get a letter from the bank, the government, or your insurance company and have no idea what it's asking.

I received this letter and I'm not sure what it means. Explain it in simple, everyday language, as if you're explaining it to someone who doesn't deal with paperwork like this often. Tell me: - What this letter is actually about - Whether it's asking me to do anything, and what - Whether there's a deadline, and when it is - Anything unusual I should be aware of If anything is unclear, tell me rather than guessing. [PASTE OR UPLOAD THE LETTER]

16 — Fix a computer problem

Something's wrong with your computer and you don't know the technical words to describe it.

I'm having a problem with my computer. Here's what's happening: [DESCRIBE PROBLEM]. I'm not very confident with computers, so ask me a few quick questions if you need more information. Then give me simple, one-step-at-a-time instructions, starting with the safest option first.

36 — Record a family story

You want to write down a family memory before it's forgotten — but don't know where to start.

I want to write down a family story so future generations can read it. Ask me questions one at a time to help me remember the details — who was there, when and where it happened, and small sensory details.

Questions people ask before buying

Do they need a paid ChatGPT account?

No. Every prompt works on the free version of ChatGPT at chatgpt.com — just a free account, no subscription. The free plan does cap photo/document uploads to a few per day, so on the handful of prompts that involve uploading a letter or bill, that's worth knowing going in. Everything else is unlimited.

What if they're not confident using a computer at all?

That's exactly who this is written for. There's no setup section because there's nothing to set up — just a web browser and a place to type. The included "Note for Sons, Daughters & Grandchildren" page has a suggested first sit-down session.

Is this just AI-generated fluff?

The prompts are simple on purpose — that's the entire point. Each one has been written and organized around real, everyday situations (bills, letters, recipes, doctor visits), not generic "10 ChatGPT tips" filler.

How do I get it after I pay?

Instant download link on the confirmation screen, plus an emailed copy. It's a PDF — open it, read it, or print it.
