Let's skip the AI buzzwords and get straight to what matters: practical tools that can actually make your workday better and smarter ways to get useful stuff out of AI.

I'll walk you through a handful of AI tools that are genuinely worth your time—the ones that can automate those repetitive tasks you hate, help with research, or handle things that used to eat up hours of your day. No fluff, just tools that work.

But here's where it gets interesting: most people are barely scratching the surface of what language models can do. Sure, everyone knows they can write emails and summarize documents, but what about using them to create decision frameworks, generate multiple perspectives on complex problems, or build structured data from messy information?

I'll show you creative ways to prompt LLMs that go way beyond basic Q&A—techniques for getting them to think through problems step-by-step, role-play different stakeholders, create templates and frameworks you can reuse, and even help you spot gaps in your own thinking. These aren't advanced tricks that require technical skills; they're just different ways of asking that can unlock completely new types of output.
