How to Learn ChatGPT in One Week (Kenyan-Friendly Plan)
A seven-day plan to go from total beginner to comfortably using ChatGPT in your studies, job or business. Each day is one small lesson with practice prompts — fit it around your normal schedule.
Day 1 — find and open ChatGPT
Open chat.openai.com in your phone browser, create a free account, and ask one real question about your life or work. The goal is simply to see it work. You do not need an app or a laptop.
Day 2 — ask better questions
Practice the four-part prompt: who the AI is, the task, the context, and the format you want. Example: 'Act as a maths tutor. Explain fractions to a Class 6 student. Give two examples, then three practice questions.'
Day 3 — apply it to school or work
Pick a real task: summarise a long document, draft an email, plan a week of study, or write a work report. Compare ChatGPT's draft with what you would have written — that comparison is where learning happens.
Days 4 to 7 — build your library
Each day tackle one real problem and save the prompt that worked. By day 7 you will have a personal prompt library. For a faster, guided version, the ChatGPT Basics course compresses this week into structured lessons with a certificate.
