How RGE Works

Our ApproachAt Red Glen Electronics, the goal is simple:
help everyday folks feel comfortable using their technology — without pressure, jargon, or upselling.
Here’s how we do that.

“These principles guide how every training session and recommendation is designed.”Jim Kallaugher
Home Tech Consultant


1. Vendor-Neutral, AlwaysAdvice first. Products second.No pushed brands. No bundles you don’t need.
Every recommendation is based on what works best for you.

2. Simplicity Comes FirstClear steps. Plain language. No assumptions.We slow things down and explain why things work — not just which button to tap.If it can’t be explained simply, it isn’t finished yet.

3. You Stay in ControlNo pressure. No deadlines. No “must-dos.”There’s no required path.
You choose what to explore, what to skip, and when you’re done.

4. Teaching, Not Just FixingToday’s solution should make tomorrow easier.Whenever possible, we show you how things work — so you’re more confident next time.The goal isn’t dependence.
The goal is confidence.

5. Human Help, Backed by Smart ToolsAI assists the work — the judgment stays human.
People stay at the center.
Modern tools (including AI) help explain and document —
experience and judgment guide every recommendation.

Quick Take:• ChatGPT works perfectly well on its own.
Chip is optional — he just makes things friendlier and slower.
No app, no extra fees, no credit card required.
• Use the "Chip Prompt (see Sample Prompts below) to install it.
• You ask the questions. You stay in control.
ChatGPT is the tool. Chip is the smile. And you're always in charge.Read more (optional):At Red Glen Electronics, we created Chip as a guide and sidekick to help you use ChatGPT comfortably.Chip doesn't replace ChatGPT or make decisions for you. He helps you clarify questions, ask them more effectively, and double-check your answers.Think of yourself as Sherlock Holmes, the decision-maker, and ChatGPT as Dr. Watson, the helper.
Chip simply makes Watson feel more familiar.
Our goal isn’t to push AI. It’s to help people feel confident, stay in control, and learn at their own pace.Note: ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) offers faster responses and better handling of long text, but the free version is more than enough for most people.
