Want to Try AI but Don’t Know Where to Start?
You might already know what ChatGPT is, but you haven’t actually tried it because you aren’t sure what to have it do.
These 7 tasks were selected because they are things people do every day, you can use Thai immediately, and you will see instant results.
7 Recommended First Tasks
1. Writing Emails or Messages When You Don’t Know How to Start
I am an online store owner. Please write a thank-you email for a first-time customer. Make it friendly and sincere, and keep it under 3 sentences.
The more details you provide, the better the result. Tell the AI the desired tone, the relationship, and the scenario.
Try it with: thanking, apologizing, following up, sharing updates, or requesting a meeting. For any email you’re struggling to start, AI can help.
2. Summarizing Articles or Long Documents
Summarize this article for me in 5 lines, focusing on what business owners need to know.
Provide a link or copy and paste the text you need to read, then type your request.
Perfect for: long news articles, company policies, contracts you need to understand before signing, annual reports, or official documents.
It saves a massive amount of time. A 20-page document can be summarized in 30 seconds.
3. Translating English Text You Don’t Understand
Translate this text into Thai and explain what it means in plain, everyday language.
You’ll get an answer that is much easier to understand than Google Translate, because the AI explains the context rather than just translating word-for-word.
Useful for: emails from foreign vendors, in-app messages, or English contracts.
4. Brainstorming Ideas When You Have No One to Ask
Please recommend a birthday gift for a 70-year-old mother with a budget of 1,000 Baht. It shouldn't be flowers or cake.
Examples you can try right away:
- A dinner party menu for 20 people, including guests who are allergic to seafood.
- Shop or brand name ideas for a small business you are about to launch.
- How to talk to a teenager about their schoolwork without starting an argument.
AI never gets bored, never judges, responds quickly, and offers multiple options.
5. Explaining Unfamiliar Words or Concepts
Explain 'inflation' to me as if explaining it to someone who has never studied economics. Use everyday examples.
Use it for: terms in economic news, medical jargon used by your doctor, insurance terms, legal jargon, or technology terms.
You can ask follow-up questions repeatedly until you understand. AI can explain it in new ways without ever getting tired.
6. Writing Captions for LINE or Facebook Posts
Please write a caption for a photo of food at my restaurant. I want it to look appetizing and friendly, include emojis, and be under 2 lines. Give me 3 versions to choose from.
Tell the AI: what the photo shows, what you want to convey, and the tone you want (funny, heartwarming, informative).
You’ll get several versions to choose from. A quick adjustment and it’s ready to use. It takes less than 2 minutes.
7. Planning Anything That Requires a Lot of Thought
Please plan a 3-day, 2-night trip to Chiang Mai for a married couple in their 50s who love local food and can walk but prefer not to walk too much. Budget is 10,000 Baht.
Examples you can ask for:
- A 3-day-a-week home workout schedule that isn’t too exhausting.
- Step-by-step instructions on container vegetable gardening for beginners with limited space.
- A project plan that needs to be completed within 1 month.
3 Tips for Getting Started
You Can Type in Thai Directly
AI understands Thai very well; there is no need to translate your input into English first. If you want the output to be in English, simply say, “Reply in English.”
If You’re Not Satisfied, Ask for Adjustments in the Same Chat
Simply type follow-up instructions like, “Make it shorter,” “Can you make it more friendly?” or “Change the examples to fit a food business.” You don’t need to start a new chat each time; the AI remembers the context of the current conversation.
Start with Tasks You Already Do
Using AI for familiar tasks makes it clear whether it is truly helpful. If you start with your regular work, you can easily evaluate whether the results are better or faster than doing it yourself.
3 Cautions
Always Verify Before Sending
Especially for numbers, dates, personal names, or details that must be 100% accurate. AI can make mistakes without realizing it. Use AI to write drafts, but always double-check before hitting send.
Do Not Enter Sensitive Personal Information
Avoid entering ID numbers, passwords, bank account details, or important trade secrets. The information you type in might be used to train and improve the system.
The First Output is Just a Starting Point
Think of AI as providing 80% of the draft, and then you adjust the remaining 20%. This mindset works much better than expecting a perfect result on the first try.
