Here are some things I accomplished with AI
tools lately. I used Claude AI to help me edit one of my book transcripts.
Claude wrote a guide for my granddaughter on preparing to register at
university. I used Google Gemini AI to create an infographic explaining how ZIP
files work in a visual way. It showed me all the ways you can find out how long
it’s been since Windows last rebooted. It made me a custom Valentine’s card for
my spouse, which she loved. It created a comic style character of me based on one
of my photos. It listed the top five password managers so far in 2026. ChatGPT analysed
an Excel file I uploaded and advised me on how I could improve its structure
and layout. It gave me new activities to try in an active listening workshop I
teach. It made a tax bracket visualizer for me that shows the deductions that
are subtracted from a gross pay amount on a sliding scale. The visualizer runs
in a web browser. It helped me make adjustments to a thermostat at work that I
was unfamiliar with. It taught me how ethane is produced. It explained to me
the difference between USB-C and Thunderbolt cables. This just scratches the
surface.
You’ll get a chance to meet your
productivity guru on April 12 as I introduce folks to generative AI at our
community centre. Watch for announcements in the newsletter and elsewhere. See
you there!
