Simple AI: From Curious to Confident - A Live Visual Guide to ChatGPT’s Features

Most people use ChatGPT like a search engine, but it’s actually more like a skilled assistant waiting for clear instructions.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by that blinking cursor in an empty chat box, or wondered what all those new buttons and settings actually do, this session is for you.

We’ve all heard the AI hype, but few are using it to actually make their daily lives easier. In fact, most people are only using about 10% of what ChatGPT can truly do. It’s time to move beyond the "search box" mentality and start treating AI like the powerful partner it is.

For our second January catch-up, I’m taking the training wheels off. At Aiven Australia (AI Ventures), we believe technology should be straightforward and practical. That’s why there will be no "tech-bro" talk. Instead, I’ll be sharing my screen to show you exactly how I navigate the 2026 interface to save hours every week.

We’ll move from curious to confident by looking at the brand-new "Go" tier that just launched in Australia this week, showing you how to get the results you need the first time.

We won't be talking about complex theories, we will be looking at how to navigate the 2026 interface to make your daily life and work simpler. This is your step-by-step guide to making ChatGPT your most practical everyday tool.

What we will explore together:

• A Guided Interface Tour: A visual map of the settings and features that matter most in 2026.
• Commanding the Tool: How to use the built-in options to get reliable results the first time.
• Practical Workflows: Real-world examples of using AI for planning, drafting, and organizing.
• Live Q&A: Your chance to ask "How do I do this?" in a relaxed environment.

The Takeaway: To help you put this into practice, everyone who joins the live session will receive the Aiven Simple AI: ChatGPT Essentials Cheat Sheet, a one-page PDF guide designed to be your permanent reference.
