Use AI on an iPad or Tablet
Tablets are great for AI because the text is big and the keyboard is roomy. Setup takes minutes.
Step by step
- Download the app or open the site. Use the app store or the assistant's website.
- Increase the text size. In Settings, choose Display and Text Size.
- Use dictation. Tap the microphone on the keyboard.
- Use a stand. Prop the tablet at eye level.
- Take breaks. Rest your eyes and wrists.
What to expect
Expect a larger, easier reading experience, with voice dictation for longer questions.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not squint at small text. Avoid typing long messages on screen if a keyboard case is available.
A good next step
Raise the text size in settings and try dictation.
A prompt you can copy
Type this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
