chatgpt free tier is easiest to start with imo. claude is better for writing but the free limit is tiny

Claude.ai free tier is the easiest start imo. Just make an account and ask it something you actually need help with - a work email, explain a concept, debug some code. The free limit is small (tested at ~15 messages per 5 hours as of June 2026) but it's enough to see if you like it.
