Santa’s New Helper: How AI Can Help You Wrap Up Your Holiday Shopping

We recommend OpenAI's ChatGPT, and it has a good free version that's easy to use. And frankly, it's what we use here at NerdWallet. But there are others such as Claude and Google's Gemini that folks can explore. I think the easiest way to get started with ChatGPT is on its website. So you'll first need to create a username and a login.

And once you're logged in, it looks sort of just like a messaging app that you're used to or a chatbot. You can just start your query right in that message box. You can also access ChatGPT by downloading the app if you'd rather use your phone or your tablet. And there's also a desktop app if you're a laptop girl. You can find those apps through the Apple Store or through Google Play.

Something that's also a bit different between ChatGPT and Google is your tone. This is something I've had to like kind of tell myself as I've been using it more. I'm like, okay, Amanda, don't be afraid to tell ChatGPT what to do. Like you can be a little bit bossy and a little firm.

Yeah, right? So here's an example of what that might sound like from my own life. I open Google and I might type something like best toys for five-year-old girls. But with ChatGPT, I'd start with something like create a list of the top 10 toys for five-year-old girls that cost $50 or less. Don't include anything that makes sound. Parents, if you know, you know. Yeah.

It would be awesome if each toy had an educational element. Every toy on the list should have a minimum average rating of four stars on sites like Amazon or Target. In this example, not only is my starting point more of a command. With Google, what are the best toys versus create a list and don't include. So your starting point is more of a command than a question.
