One of my best friends ended up in ER nearly across the "border" with renal failure and high potassium levels on Christmas Eve. Myself and other friends mobilized each with our own areas of expertise. I started a chatGPT project questioning my intuitive assumptions about what might have led to this which it validated and explained. The doctors and hospital staff were wonderful but the renal dietician gave her only an overview. I spent three hours with ChatGPT working on safe groceries and diet. My friend ate like a saint as a result and within three weeks was off dialysis. It was not just AI's help of course. She had a fantastic team of medical professionals, and hundreds of prayers, as well as a strong healing focused intent. But AI did come in for the assist when she was just home from the hospital and not sure how to overhaul eating habits :) This means more to me than any business assist. It has also helped my mom find things she can eat with a SIBO condition which, in her late 80s,, has made it not only ok to go on a restricted diet but somewhat fun to learn and chat with chat about snacks. Amazing.

I've been using AI since months after chatGPT came out. What follows is a long list of sample ways I use it in business and life in case this can inspire anyone! • Taught my 87 year old mom to use chatGPT. She now uses it for recipes, medical info, helping her navigate services and reviews, and most fun of all, she now uses the live voice version to help translate when she interacts with non-English speaking travellers. • Introduced it to my dad, who is a physicist who still actively participates in research, also at 87. With AI expert colleagues and genius students has set up an online repository of papers in the field which they are now using agents to search and permutate to further their understandings. • It tutored me on how to set up an LLC in conjunction with my lawyer so I could intelligently discuss options and execute the changes without pulling my hair out :) • It tutored me on how to migrate my quickbooks account to the new business and do the accounting in a compliant manner • It helped me debug my website when it crashed in the middle of the night, figure out quirks in a wide variety of apps, and taught me how to use them better. It has on occasion, even though it won't admit it, mysteriously fixed things for me. • I use it to edit my weekly newsletter and unlike other editors it will maintain my words and tone of voice rather than AI-ifying it. Takes about 30 seconds vs an hour of frustration with other editors. • Formats my reminder emails to clients per my spec depending on how they wish to connect. For client privacy reasons I send my own emails still. • I recently had it tutor me on how to use a free Zapier account - I can now update one line in a google sheet which will trigger zoom to set up a meeting for me. Singing Alleluia about that since I do 10-20 zoom meetings a week! • It helps me debug health issues for those I love so they can talk intetlligently to their doctors. For example a friend's cat bit her, but the prescribed antibiotic was doing no good. AI helped me figure out it was cat scratch fever which requires a different antibiotic. My friend worked with the doctor, got on the right one and healed.
