AI Without the Hype · How to really use ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude + 100 prompts (PDF guide)

If you use ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude and get generic answers that sound like a brochure, or you don’t know whether to believe them, this guide is for you. AI Without the Hype is a 63-page PDF guide to using artificial intelligence at work, in your studies and in everyday life, with no jargon and no miracle promises. Available in English and Spanish: choose the language before you buy.

What’s included

• The 5-piece method (role, task, context, format and limits) for asking any AI for anything, with before-and-after examples and a bank of options for each piece.
• What to say when the answer comes out wrong: 20 follow-up phrases, a diagnosis table and example conversations.
• 100 prompts ready to copy in 10 areas: work, job hunting, studying, money and paperwork, preparing for medical appointments, home and family, decisions, your business, social media, and languages and travel. Many come with the line to continue the conversation.
• 10 complete workflows, step by step: landing a job, preparing for an exam, complaining to a company, reading a contract before signing, making an important decision and five more.
• 6 custom assistants with the instructions written out (proofreader, tutor, meal planner, emails, critic and customer service), and how to set them up in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
• 12 techniques and the features almost nobody uses: web search, deep research, files, voice, photos and study mode.
• Privacy step by step and seven risks with documented real cases: made-up facts, answers that just agree with you, cloned-voice scams, agents and AI detectors.
• 30-day plan with checkboxes, weekly routines and a one-page printable cheat sheet.
• 23 cited sources: studies published in Science, PNAS and The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Harvard Business School, official guides and help centres from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, INCIBE and the European AI Act.

Who it’s for

For anyone who uses AI now and then (or never) and wants to get real value from it: employees, students, freelancers and anyone curious. No technical knowledge needed. It’s designed for the free versions of the tools; the guide flags which features may be paid or limited.

What it isn’t

It isn’t a technical or programming course. It doesn’t promise income or a specific number of hours saved. It doesn’t replace a doctor, lawyer or adviser: it teaches you to use AI to prepare better for those conversations. The tools change often; the guide is up to date as of October 2026 (2nd edition). It isn’t affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or Microsoft.
