You'll be using AI in about 5 minutes. No tech skills needed — if you can send a text message, you can do this. Kit will show you exactly where to tap.
1 What is an AI chat, in plain words?
It's like texting a very smart helper who never gets tired of questions. You type (or say) what you need — "Explain my phone bill", "What can I make with eggs and spinach?" — and it writes back in seconds. It can be wrong sometimes, so double-check anything important.
2 Pick one AI and sign up (it's free to start)
Tap one to see exactly where to tap on its website. Not sure? Pick the one already on your phone — they all work with FixKit prompts.
1234- Tap “Sign up” (or “Sign in” if you have an account)
- This big box is where you type or paste
- Tap + to add a photo or file
- See a cookie box? Tap “Reject All” — it’s fine
Grok Bot is different from plain Grok. Plain Grok is the free chat — you ask, it answers. Grok Bot gives you helper bots that keep doing chores for you while you’re away (a morning news brief, watching for a refund, finding shows near you). It lives inside Grok: sign in, then open the left menu → Bots → Grok Bot. Grok Bot is part of Grok’s paid plans.
1234- Tap “Sign up” (or “Sign in” if you have an account)
- This big box is where you type or paste
- Tap + to add a photo or file
- See a cookie box? Tap “Reject All” — it’s fine
Grok is the free chat app from xAI — ask anything and it answers, with up-to-date news from the web and X. It’s also on iPhone, Android and in many Teslas. Want helpers that do chores for you on their own? That’s Grok Bot (see the Grok Bot tab).
1234- Tap “Sign up for free”
- This box is where you type or paste
- Tap the microphone to talk instead of type
- Tap + to add a photo or file
Once you’re signed in, the same box is at the bottom of the screen. Your old chats are listed on the left.
1234- Tap “Sign in” — use your Google (Gmail) account
- This box is where you type or paste
- Tap the microphone to talk
- Tap + to add a photo or file
Gemini uses your Google account, so if you have Gmail you already have a login.
123- Easiest: tap “Continue with Google”
- On an iPhone or Mac? “Continue with Apple” works too
- Or type your email, then the code they email you
After you sign in you’ll see a big box that says “How can I help you today?” — that’s where you paste.
12- Type your mobile number or email
- Tap “Continue”, then enter the code they text you
You can also message Muse right inside WhatsApp. Muse checks with you before it sends an email or buys anything.
123- Easiest: tap “Continue with Google”
- Or “Continue with Apple”
- Or type your email or phone number, then tap Continue
Hark Pro is free to start. It checks in with you before anything that needs your approval.
1234- Tap “Sign In” (bottom left)
- This box is where you type or paste
- Tap the microphone to talk
- See a cookie box? Tap “Got it” or “Decline optional”
Perplexity is best for questions where you want the sources listed.
Pictures show each website before you sign in (October 2026). Websites change their look sometimes — the buttons usually keep the same names.
3 Send your first message
Press the orange button. It copies this message and opens your AI. Then paste it in the box and press send (the ↑ arrow).
Hi! I'm brand new to AI. In 5 short bullet points, tell me the most useful things you can help me with at home — like you're explaining to a friendly 10-year-old. Then ask me one question to get started.
4 How to paste
📱 On a phone or tablet
- Press and hold your finger inside the message box for 1 second.
- A little menu pops up — tap Paste.
- Tap the send arrow ↑.
💻 On a computer
- Click inside the message box.
- Press Ctrl + V (Windows) or ⌘ Command + V (Mac).
- Press Enter.
5 Talk instead of type 🎤
Typing is hard on a phone. Look for the microphone in the message box. Tap it and just talk, like leaving a voice message: "I got a letter from my insurance and I don't understand it. Can you help?" Many apps also have a voice mode (a sound-wave button) where you can have a spoken conversation.
6 Show it a picture 📷
Tap the + (or the paper clip) next to the message box, choose Camera or Photos, and snap the bill, letter or recipe. Then ask: "What does this mean in plain words?"
🔒 Before you take the photo, cover your name, address, account numbers and ID numbers with a sticky note or your finger.
7 If the answer is confusing, just say so
You can't break it. Copy one of these and send it:
Too many big words?
Explain that again like I'm 10 years old.
Not what I meant?
That's not what I meant. Let me explain again: [say it a different way].
Want steps?
Give me step-by-step instructions, one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step.
Not sure it's right?
How sure are you? What should I double-check, and where?
It said it can't help?
I'm not asking for advice — just help me understand it and list questions to ask a professional.
8 Stay safe
- Never type passwords, bank or card numbers, or Social Security numbers into an AI.
- Use only the official apps and websites — the buttons on this page go to the real ones.
- AI can be wrong. For health, money or legal things, use it to understand and prepare — then check with a real professional.
- Kids: ask a grown-up before using AI, and never share where you live or go to school.
