Knowing what to ask, which model to pick and when not to trust an answer makes a big difference to what you get out of an AI chat. These guides are short, practical and written for everyday users, not specialists. Each one includes examples you can try straight away in the Llama chat.

Get better answers

Start with how to write prompts, which shows the difference between a vague request and a clear one, with before-and-after examples. AI writing tips covers drafting and editing with AI while keeping your own voice. If you are not sure which of our four models to use, read how to choose the right Llama model.

Use AI for study, code and work

Students can learn how to use AI to understand material rather than skip it in AI for students. AI for coding explains how to get useful help with code and how to check it. AI for job search walks through CVs, cover letters and interview practice.

Understand how it works and stay safe

How large language models work explains, without math, why a model can write fluent text and still make things up. Open-source AI explained covers what "open weights" means for models like Llama. How to fact-check AI answers gives a simple routine for checking claims, and AI privacy and safety lists what you should never paste into any chatbot.

Every guide is free to read, and you can open its examples in the chat with one click.
