Came across this interesting article today! 🤪 TD;DR: Traditional Chinese Medicine has long used tongue colour and texture to assess health. Now researchers are merging this ancient practice with AI. A 2024 study using standardized lighting and machine learning analyzed over 5,000 tongue images, achieving 96.6% accuracy in predicting conditions like diabetes, anemia, asthma, and even COVID severity. The challenge has always been subjectivity and lighting variation, but new systems use controlled LED kiosks to capture consistent images. Researchers found correlations such as: - White tongue: possible iron deficiency - Bluish-yellow coating: diabetes - Purple/fatty layer: certain cancers - Deeper red hues: more severe COVID While promising, experts warn that tongue color alone isn’t enough for diagnosis, AI tongue analysis should complement, not replace, other medical tools. I wonder what it would tell me after I have had a curry? 😅

AI is no longer “future tech.” It’s today’s advantage for small business owners. Here’s what’s new (and worth knowing): 💡 GPT-5 goes all-in — Create text, images, audio, and video from one place. Perfect for proposals, visuals, or training materials—instantly. ⚙️ Microsoft Copilot Studio 2025 — Build no-code automations that connect to your daily tools. No programming. Just click, test, and save hours. 🧠 Agentic AI for daily ops — Systems now act like virtual operations managers—spotting trends, automating reports, and freeing you up to lead. 🔒 Claude Sonnet 4.5 — For data-heavy or regulated industries (finance, legal, healthcare). 💻 Meta Devmate — A developer’s dream for automating code and digital product updates. Takeaway: AI isn’t about replacing people—it’s about removing the repetitive stuff that slows them down. 👉 What’s one tool here you’d love to try in your business this week?

I’ve tried a few different AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — and noticed they all feel a bit different. For example, I really liked Claude for focus-driven tasks. Yesterday it kept me on track and helped me get loads done… it even “told me off” for wasting time 😂 I’m curious:💭 Which AI tools do you use? Do you pay for AI, or stick to fr ee versions? What do you use AI for?

Today I was wondering about the way we interact with AI. I think it's quite awkward to say hello to a bot, not to mention saying please and thank you. In writing it feels like it's a little bit too much. At the same time, prompts by voice are different. If you get a "human-like" response spoken out loud, it seems much more natural to approach the conversation as if that person is an actual person. However, there is ups and downs, as with everything. What's particularly interesting is that being polite is "costly" in terms of the electricity bill, because everything that does not specifically contribute to a prompt does not necessarily add to the output of what it is your prompting to AI, but it does require lots of energy when all the the polite "Good mornings" and "'Thank you for your help's" on a global scale accumulate. Still, I personally believe the price of becoming less polite and respectful in our communication would eventually come at a much higher price (and there is already so much to improve on this to begin with). What are your thoughts on this? Do you talk to AI as if it was a human (🔥) or as a bot (❄️) who doesn't care about your manners?

One of the things I’ve really appreciated about this space is how much more confident I’ve started to feel with AI. When I first joined, I remember overthinking every prompt (and sometimes being too nervous to even try). But with @Jhoanna Rius clear, step-by-step guidance, it’s starting to feel less intimidating and more like an everyday skill I can actually trust myself to use. It got me thinking - there are little signs along the way that show we’re growing. Maybe it’s writing faster prompts, trying a new tool without fear, or catching yourself saying, “Oh wait, I can automate that!” What’s one small sign that tells you you’re getting better with AI? It doesn’t have to be big, even noticing a tiny mindset shift or new sense of curiosity counts.
