Learning and tutoring

ChatGPT is often strong at explaining a hard topic at different levels, generating practice questions and walking through mistakes. Ask it to teach, not just answer.

Gemini can be useful when study materials live in Google Docs, Drive or search results.

Essays and research

Use AI for outlines, feedback and understanding. Do not let it invent citations or write work you are expected to produce yourself.

For research, open the sources yourself. Both ChatGPT and Gemini can sound confident when they are wrong.

School policy

Follow your institution’s AI rules. If disclosure is required, disclose. If AI is not allowed for a task, do not use it for that task.

A safe use case is asking for a concept explanation, quiz questions or feedback on your own draft.
