The complete guide to generative AI, from your first prompt to organisational policy. Twelve chapters covering ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot, with the verification habits that keep the output trustworthy.
What you send a generative model isn't really a question. It is closer to a work order.
Role, context, task, format, constraint β the more of these you supply, the less your results vary from one run to the next.
The part beginners leave out most often is format. Ask a model to "tidy this up" and you get a different shape every time. Say "a table, three columns, forty characters per cell" and the output becomes repeatable.
Repeatability is what moves prompting from a hobby into work.

Spread four books at once. Turn pages the way paper turns. Then ask the AI a question that cuts across all of them β no app to install, it opens in your browser.
Try the readerEvery other reader's assistant answers from inside the one book you have open. Ours sees all four at once. "How do these four explain the same idea differently?" β that question becomes askable for the first time.
Browse all books βNothing to install and nothing to configure. Three steps and you're reading.
Start with a single book, or open the entire library.

New releases, reading notes, and what our editors are working on.
A textbook spread in front of you, references propped up beside it β studying has always worked this way. Keep one book open wide and three standing behind it, then pick any of them up and swap places whenever you like.
Read more βNot a button that swaps one screen for another. Take hold of the corner and the page lifts as far as you pull it. Let go halfway and it settles back; carry it over and the shadow travels across the paper with it.
