This episode helps beginners ease into the world of artificial intelligence by sharing a simple, five-step approach anyone can follow—no tech background required.

Rather than getting caught up in the hype or fear, listeners are encouraged to treat AI with curiosity and explore it through tools they already use. From testing out chat-based tools like ChatGPT to leveraging built-in AI features in everyday software like Gmail, Microsoft Word, and Canva, small, consistent use can lead to big confidence gains.

The key is not to overthink it—just start where you are, use it for things you already do, and build from there. And when you're ready to level up, we share a trick for writing better prompts to get the most out of AI tools.

5 Simple Steps to Start Using AI:

  1. Approach AI with curiosity instead of complexity.
  2. Try chat-based tools like ChatGPT using voice or text.
  3. Use AI to assist with tasks you're already doing regularly.
  4. Explore AI features built into software like Gmail, Canva, or Microsoft Copilot.
  5. Practice writing more specific prompts for better results.


Top Takeaways:

  • You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use AI.
  • Start small and build your confidence over time.
  • Use tools you already know to make AI less intimidating.
  • Better prompts = better results.
  • Practicing weekly can turn AI into a powerful everyday assistant.
