Where it genuinely helps
- Explaining medical terms in a lab report in plain language
- Preparing questions for your doctor, lawyer or bank adviser
- Summarising a long contract and pointing out unusual clauses
- Comparing loan or savings offers you already have
- Explaining how a procedure or an office works
Where it must not decide
Diagnosis and treatment, stopping medication, signing a contract, investing savings or meeting a legal deadline: here a mistake is expensive and the AI bears no responsibility. Use its answer as preparation for a conversation with a professional, not as a replacement.
Local rules differ
Assistants often answer with the rules of the USA or another country. Always say where you live (“in Slovenia”) and check laws, deadlines and tax rates at the official source — for Slovenia, for example PISRS for laws and FURS for taxes.
Protect sensitive data
Health and financial data are among the most sensitive. Remove your name, ID numbers and account numbers before pasting a report or a statement — the explanation will be just as good.
A good safety prompt
- “Explain this in simple words, list what I should ask my doctor, and tell me which symptoms would need urgent care.”
