How it works
Step 1 — Tap the attach button
In the chat box, look for a paperclip or a "+" / camera icon. Tap it and choose a photo from your phone, or take one on the spot.
Step 2 — Ask a real question
Attach the photo, then type what you want to know: "What does this warning mean?" or "Explain this label in simple words." A good photo is close, well-lit, and straight-on.
Step 3 — Follow up
Just like text chats: "What should I do about it?", "Is this safe to eat after this date?", "Read me the dosage part again, slowly."
Things photos are great for
- Manuals and appliances — error codes, blinking lights, which button does what.
- Labels — medicine instructions, food dates, care labels on clothes.
- Forms and letters — "what is this form asking me in box 4?"
- Plants and objects — "what is this plant, and how do I care for it?"
- The fridge question — photograph what's inside: "What can I cook with these?"
Photo safety
- Understand, don't delegate. AI can explain a medicine label; your pharmacist decides what you take. Same rule as Lesson 1: important things get verified.
- Keep private things out of the frame. Never photograph bank cards, ID documents, passwords, or letters showing account numbers. If a document matters, cover or crop the sensitive parts first.
- Check the reading. If AI reads a number from your photo, compare it with the original — small print can be misread.
Try it now (5 minutes)
Photograph one page of any household manual, or a plant, or your fridge shelf. Ask:
"Explain what this is, in simple words — and tell me the one thing I most need to know about it."
Follow up with one question of your own. That loop — photo, question, follow-up — is a skill you'll use every week.
Remember
- Paperclip icon → photo → plain question. That's the whole trick.
- Great for manuals, labels, forms, plants, and error messages.
- No bank cards, IDs, or account numbers in photos — and verify what matters.
