Well that just takes the biscuit!

If you want the easiest way, open chrome, on the right of the search window is a button that says AI mode. Click that, then start typing.

You are using Gemini, Google's AI.

If you type in Edge you can also access AI output ( from Copilot). Copilot is also embedded in most MS applications like Excel now.

You can also go to the AI website direct, open the browser and type chatGPT.com and get onto their page. If you typed it in the search window you'll get a link, if you typed it in the address bar at the top you will go direct to their page 

It will probably ask you to sign in, this is if you want to have an account and for it to remember the output. If you don't care, click on the X to close this and then do something with the cookies. Then you can use it.

You can do the same thing in the browser with other AIs.

If you had an upmarket phone, like a pixel 9, you would have Gemini app built in (it is an icon you tap on and it opens, then you just use it).

You could also download apps (just little programs) to install on you your phone for free to access other AIs.

I was a bit apprehensive a year ago.

Note that text type questions are almost unlimited, ignore any popups about using your limit or using a lesser model. If you ask it to read documents, or particularly create images, you will find it can only do a few a day.

It is like a dumb assistant with access to a big library. It just does what you say. The more detailed and accurate your question, the better the quality of the output.

Or you can just chat. Start with hello. Then what you did this morning.

I don't have chrome and I never use edge as it messes with stuff.

How am I using gemini, I've only come on here?

I use firefox on my lap top.

I go to the windows icon at the bottom of the screen and click on it then up comes a menu of options, one of them being co-pilot, I hover the arrow over it and click, or even double click, its lights up, recognising that it's been highlighted, but nothing else happens.

I did once get a page of questions I didnt' understand, either the questions or why they were there. 

I don't want Chatgp or whatever it is, I'm very confused and am starting to wish I'd never asked as it all get so complicated.
