# The Silver Bridge: Use AI with Confidence After 60

> A calm, plain-English guide to using AI assistants (such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini) in everyday life, written for people over 60 and for the families who help them. By Jaime Navarrete and Felix Gascon, 2026. Chapter 1 is free at https://www.thesilverbridge.org

The Silver Bridge teaches older adults to use AI assistants for real, everyday tasks: writing letters that get results, preparing for doctor visits, checking financial offers and suspicious messages, preserving family memories, planning travel and staying connected. It starts from zero, explains every step and every term, and treats the reader as a capable adult. It includes a 10-Minute Setup guide, 47 ready-to-use prompts and a 50-word plain-English dictionary of digital terms.

Who it is for: adults over 60 who are new to AI; retirees and grandparents; adult children looking for a gift or a patient guide for a parent; librarians and senior-center instructors.
