How to Talk to ChatGPT: Starting an Artificial Conversation

New technology moves fast. Sometimes it feels like everyone else is two steps ahead, and you’re still stuck figuring out yesterday’s updates. AI is one of those shifts—suddenly, tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, and people are using them to write, plan, brainstorm, and even talk. But if you’re not sure how to start, or what to say, you’re not alone. Talking to AI isn’t hard—it just takes a little curiosity and a willingness to try.

Let’s walk through how to make it easy, useful, and even a little fun.

You’re Not Behind—You’re Right on Time to Learn ChatGPT Voice Mode

One of the biggest blockers for learning new tech isn’t the technology itself—it’s the mindset. That fear of missing out, of being too late or too old or too out of the loop, is totally normal. But here’s the truth: everyone is still figuring this out. Even the so-called “experts” are experimenting and learning on the fly.

Instead of letting fear of being left behind take over, shift your mindset to one of curiosity. AI and ChatGPT Voice Mode isn’t something to fear—it’s something to explore. Whether you’re a small business owner, a teacher, a retiree, or just someone who wants to be a little more efficient, now is the perfect time to start.

The sooner you stop worrying about being perfect, the sooner you’ll realize just how easy it is to get started.

Using ChatGPT’s Voice Mode

Talking to ChatGPT is as simple as having a conversation—but even easier when you use voice mode. Here’s how it works:

• Step 1: Open the ChatGPT app on your phone. Voice is currently available on the mobile app for iOS and Android.
  
• Step 2: Tap the audio icon (featured below) on the bottom right. This activates voice mode.

• Step 3: Start talking. Just like you would with a friend, ask a question or give a command. For example:
  
• “What can I do to help grow my business?”
  
• “What should I make for dinner with only eggs, rice, and spinach?”
  
• Step 4: ChatGPT will respond with a voice answer, and you can follow up by speaking naturally.
  

No typing, no stress—just a simple back-and-forth.

A Fun Example: ChatGPT, Your Business Growth Buddy

You’re driving between job sites or sipping your morning coffee before a busy day.

You open the ChatGPT app, tap the voice icon, and ask:  “Hey ChatGPT, how can I grow my home inspection business?”

ChatGPT replies,  “There are several strategies worth exploring—like building relationships with real estate agents, optimizing your Google Business listing, and offering add-on services like wind mitigation or mold testing. Would you like help drafting a marketing plan?”

You respond, “Yes, and maybe some social media post ideas too?”

“Sure. How about a ‘Myth vs. Fact’ series on home inspections for first-time buyers? I can help you write a few to start with.”

Just like that, your AI assistant becomes a marketing coach in your pocket.

Want to try it yourself? 

Here are 5 fun prompts to say to ChatGPT using voice mode:

1. “Tell me a silly joke to start my day.”
   
2. “Give me a pep talk before a big meeting.”
   
3. “Can you explain Bitcoin like I’m five?”
   
4. “What’s a healthy lunch I can make in under 10 minutes?”
   
5. “Teach me how to say ‘good morning’ in five different languages.”
