First, read the privacy page. It applies to every AI.
Privacy: what to keep out of any AI
Each guide has two links: its name opens it for you to read, and "Text file for your AI" downloads a plain-text copy you can attach in your AI app's chat.
Then pick the button that sounds like you. At work, use only the AI your employer approves.
Not sure which to pick? Start with the chooser. Then there is one guide each for Claude, Muse and ChatGPT: what each is good at, how to set it up on your phone, and what the desktop app or computer adds.
Privacy basics, checking an AI's work, staying inside your subscription, and how to try a new tool safely.
Plain guides for helping family start with AI safely, including how to spot AI voice scams.
Use only the AI your employer approves. Guides for setting up your work AI so it keeps its context between conversations, plus templates and prompts you can copy and adapt.

People and sources worth learning from, with a status for each.
On a phone: open the file, download it as Word or PDF, then attach it in your AI app's chat and ask it to use the file as a reference.
If your AI can read web links: give it the "Text file for your AI" link; it opens the same text with no sign-in.
At work: your employer's rules come first. Save a file into your work AI's approved folder only where your company allows it.
If your AI app supports custom connectors, add https://commons.travishavens.com/mcp and ask it to find a Commons guide. Setup steps are at commons.travishavens.com. Every guide also keeps its "for your AI" link, which works on any plan.
No personal, client or employer information, and no passwords or account details. Nothing here is legal, financial or medical advice. Files marked DRAFT are early and may change.
