What can you actually do with AI when you are not trying to become an AI expert?
Over two weeks, I put it to work on things already in front of me: writing emails, working through computer problems, organizing plans, and building tools I can use. This episode is a look at that process—not a claim that I have everything figured out.

How can you use AI in everyday life? I share how I put AI to work over two weeks—writing emails, solving computer problems, organizing plans, and building tools I actually use.
In this Level Yourself Up episode, I walk through real examples from my own life and show some of the projects on my computer. If you’ve wondered where to start with AI, this conversation will give you practical ideas to try with a task you already have.
We cover:
- Writing clearer emails while keeping your own voice
- Turning scattered thoughts into useful plans and priorities
- Using AI to work through computer problems
- Building personal tools for notes, links, and everyday tasks
- Reviewing AI’s answers, protecting private information, and staying in control
I also share where AI gets things wrong and why I still review its work before sending, publishing, or acting on it. These projects are a work in progress, and I’m learning as I go.
