How to use ChatGPT Effectively

Are you familiar with the Simsimi or Replika app? This AI-based chatbot available for Android is a popular choice as a 'chat buddy'. You can chat with the bot within the app.

Simsimi is an adorable bot that can be taught to communicate in multiple languages. On the other hand, Replica is chatbot that is capable of role-playing as a friend, best friend, or even girlfriend, resembling a human in appearance and allowing gender customization.

These days, there are many chatbot apps and websites. Among them, ChatGPT has gained popularity since its launch. The Carisinyal team will provide a complete guide on using ChatGPT, to answer the curiosity of people who are interested in this chatbot.

What is ChatGPT?

OpenAI, a US-based research lab, introduced the Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in November 2022. Although still a prototype, the product attracted enormous interest. Tempo reported that within two months of its release, ChatGPT had over 50 million users.

What makes ChatGPT interesting? The answer undoubtedly lies within its features. Not only is this chatbot good at human-like conversations, but it is also capable of doing what was once considered 'impossible' for a chatbot. From composing poems and song lyrics to playing games, answering questions and even writing essays, ChatGPT is impressive.

How to Use ChatGPT?

If you are curious, the Carisinyal team will provide a guide to using ChatGPT. Please follow the steps outlined below:

• Visit the official OpenAI website for the ChatGPT service at www.openai.com/blog/chatgpt. You can access it through your mobile browser, PC or laptop.

• Look for the "Try ChatGPT" button and click on it.

• Sign up for an account. If you have never used ChatGPT before, please register by clicking the “Sign up” button.

• Create an OpenAI account using your email address. Alternatively, you can choose to sign up directly with your Google or Microsoft account. For example, the Carisinyal team chose a Google account during the registration process.

• Fill in your full name. Enter your full name in the field provided and proceed by clicking the "Continue" button.

• Enter your phone number. OpenAI will send a verification code to your phone via SMS. If you have a WhatsApp account, you can select the "Yes" option next to the question about your WhatsApp account. OpenAI will then send the verification code to your WhatsApp.

• You will be redirected to the next page, where a pop-up will appear. Click "Next" to continue. If the pop-up does not appear, simply click "Done".

• Click the "New chat" button located on the far left side of the screen to start a new conversation with ChatGPT.

• Compose your message in the input field located at the bottom of the screen. For instance, the Carisinyal team requested help from ChatGPT for an essay on King Henry VIII of England. Click the paper airplane icon to send the message.

• Let ChatGPT do its magic. The Carisinyal team patiently waits for ChatGPT to create the essay. If you think the answer is enough, you can press the "Stop generate" button.

• If the answer is not as what you expected, use the "Regenerate response" button to have ChatGPT create and refine a new answer to your question.

Driven by curiosity, the Carisinyal team decided to test ChatGPT's ability to create romantic song lyrics. As a result, ChatGPT managed to create beautiful song lyrics, as seen in the following image.

However, ChatGPT does not guarantee accurate answers to all questions or messages. Sometimes, it can still produce errors or give unclear answers. Other than that, the chatbot is reportedly capable of generating JavaScript code.

Indeed, during the team's experiment, ChatGPT easily provided examples of basic JavaScript programs. ChatGPT offers additional features such as a dark mode to display a dark-themed interface, and a special button to delete an entire conversation.

ChatGPT Plus

OpenAI provides a premium service called ChatGPT Plus, in addition to the free version. By subscribing to this paid service, you get access to various ChatGPT features.

In particular, you can utilize the chatbot even during peak usage periods, ensuring uninterrupted service. Also, ChatGPT Plus gives a faster response time compared to the regular version. If you are interested, you can explore the subscription option and give it a try.

Alternative Apps to ChatGPT

A common question arises: Is there any Android app available for OpenAI's ChatGPT? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Don't worry, though, because there are some alternative chatbot apps worth considering. The Carisinyal team has compiled a list of recommended choices for your convenience. Here is the list:

1. AI Chatbot - Nova

AI Chatbot - Nova is one of the best AI applications powered by ChatGPT, offering features similar to the OpenAI program. The Carisinyal team tested this application by asking for a 1000-word essay in English and Spanish, with satisfying results.

Besides writing essays, we also asked Nova general questions about famous personalities such as Bill Gates. Impressively, Nova provided accurate answers.

There are so many more things you can do with this app. AI Chatbot - Nova works as a reliable tool for searching flight tickets, offering relationship advice, scheduling tasks, and answering academic questions. Also, this app can be seamlessly integrated with smartwatches and Google Assistant.

However, it should be noted that certain features are limited on the free version. Users can only ask three questions per day. For those interested, a subscription option is available. You can download AI Chatbot - Nova for Android via the Google Play Store.

2. Character AI

This Character AI is more flexible than similar apps. You can interact with multiple chatbots and even create your own. Also, the customization options allow you to customize the character to your preferences.

As the Carisinyal team tried to create their own AI character, we were free to include a picture and description. If you don't like creating one, pre-existing AI characters are available. For example, Stella is an intelligent AI chatbot.

There are also AI characters specialized in helping with academic tasks and engaging in debates. Interested in trying out this app? Download Character AI for Android from the Google Play Store.
