# Basic LLM Familiarity

## Prerequisite: Basic LLM Familiarity

**Why it's needed:** Required to understand the transition from basic prompting to building autonomous agents.

The speakers assume the audience has basic experience interacting with chat interfaces like [[entity-chatgpt|ChatGPT]] or [[entity-claude|Claude]]. They do **not** spend time explaining:
- How to log in or create an account
- What a prompt box is
- Basic interaction patterns (typing a question, getting a response)

If you're new to LLMs, start by experimenting with [[entity-chatgpt|ChatGPT]] or [[entity-claude|Claude]] for simple questions ([[concept-oracle-genie-agent|Oracle level]]) before engaging with the summit's more advanced agent-building content.

The key mental model to internalize before proceeding: AI is a [[concept-ai-as-guesser|Predictive Guesser]], not a thinking machine.
