Label: AI Toolbox
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we work, learn and solve everyday problems. Almost every week, a new AI tool is launched claiming to be faster, smarter or more powerful than the last.
But which ones are actually worth your time?
Welcome to The AI Toolbox, a new weekly series on Striv where I explore one AI tool at a time and answer the questions that matter most to ordinary people.
This week, we’re starting with the world’s most popular AI assistant – ChatGPT.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-powered assistant developed by OpenAI. You can ask it questions in plain English, just as if you were chatting with another person.
It can help you write emails, generate ideas, explain difficult topics, summarise documents, create blog posts, improve your CV, plan holidays and much more.
Think of it as having a knowledgeable assistant available 24 hours a day.
Is it free?
Yes.
There is a free version that offers plenty of features for beginners. There are also paid plans that provide additional tools and higher usage limits, but you don’t need to pay anything to start learning how AI works.
What can ChatGPT do?
Here are just a few examples:
- Write professional emails.
- Improve your CV.
- Help prepare for job interviews.
- Explain complex subjects in simple language.
- Brainstorm business ideas.
- Create blog posts.
- Summarise long articles.
- Help students study.
- Assist authors with research and planning.
The better your question, the better the answer.
What are the drawbacks?
No AI is perfect.
ChatGPT can occasionally provide inaccurate information or misunderstand a question. That’s why it’s always important to double-check facts, especially when dealing with legal, medical or financial matters.
It should be viewed as a helpful assistant rather than a replacement for human judgement.
Can ChatGPT help you make money?
Yes—but not by itself.
Many people use ChatGPT to:
- Write content for websites.
- Create eBooks.
- Offer freelance writing services.
- Produce social media content.
- Research products and services.
- Save hours on repetitive tasks.
The real value comes from using ChatGPT to improve your productivity, creativity and efficiency.

If you’re completely new to AI, ChatGPT is the best place to start. It’s easy to learn, incredibly versatile and useful for almost anyone.
Final Thoughts
The world of AI is expanding rapidly, but you don’t need to try every new tool that appears online.
My goal with The AI Toolbox is to test these tools one by one and tell you, in plain English, whether they’re genuinely useful.
If ChatGPT is your first step into AI, you’re starting in the right place.
