Guides
Plain, practical guides on getting real value from an AI assistant, and on knowing when not to trust it.
These guides are written by the Taufa team for people who use AI for study, work and daily life, many of them in India. They are about habits that work with any assistant: asking clearly, checking what comes back, and keeping your own judgement. We update them when things change, and the date on each page shows when it was last reviewed.
