Why do we need them?
They help us save time by answering questions, writing things, or helping us think through problems without us having to do all the work ourselves [1][2].
What can they do?
AI assistants can answer questions, help you write emails, explain hard topics, brainstorm ideas, and lots of other helpful things you ask them to do [2][3].
How do you use them?
You just type or talk to them like you're chatting with a person, and they try to understand what you need and help you [1][3].
