Curious to see which AI app you find most helpful - so far Copilot seems most natural, but does seem to make quite a lot of mistakes/hallucinations - what are you views?

We've all heard how powerful an idea can be. I had a new one, back in March of this year. It was for an app, and at the time, I thought Apple's App Store was the only way to go. And I thought Apple would only accept apps written in their Swift language. So I tried to learn Swift. It took over a month of lessons on YouTube to realize I couldn't learn programming. Not fast enough. At 77, I'd never programmed anything beyond my VCR. Then I saw a guy on You Tube talking about using AI to write the code. He actually put together a simple app in 15 minutes on the internet! OK, it looked doable. So, April 20, I decided to dive in. It was tough at first. I was using an AI named Claude, in an IDE called Cursor. For two weeks, on weekends, I sat in my room for about 16 hours each day, hitting wall after wall. I didn't know how to work with this Claude "guy." Didn't know he had no memory, unless he was told to. Didn't know he had a way of barging ahead with his idea of what should be done to the app I'd designed and he was coding. It took two weeks of that, climbing a steep learning curve, for me. Then, in early May, I realized I was the jockey of this incredibly fast, smart thoroughbred machine. That's my analogy. It's like that—a fast, energy-infused racehorse that has to be taught, controlled, directed, held back at times, etc. Once I realized that and held the reins firmly, the clouds parted. (Cue: angel choir.) A month later, my first app was completed, tested and ready to go. It's been submitted to Apple. Then, I kept having ideas hit me so fast I could hardly keep up. Now, I'm using Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Warp, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Lovable and Rocket, and I've got one app active on the internet (not in App Store) named HomeStagerPro.ai (it adds digital furnishings to empty or under-furnished room photos) two others almost ready, and more in my head ready to come out. But I'm worse than LAME at marketing. I'll be 78 next month and I want to quit my daytime "retirement" job. I want to generate some consistent income! So, I'm hoping this program will offer some marketing info for this modern age.

So I understand that a lot of this will be for people to leverage AI for their businesses, but what if you don’t have a business, or are only in the stage of figuring out what you even wanna do? like me? am I in the right place or am I just in the way here?

Im in Auckland New Zealand and 🍀 Im writing this from the FUTURE ! 🍀 How? because we see the sun before the rest of the world. For example right now its my WEDNESDAY morning, its 7.25am For many of you its still TUESDAY - New York its 2.25pm Tuesday - Indianapolis its 2.25pm Tuesday - San Francisco its 11.25am Tuesday - London 6.25pm Tuesday - Barcelona 6.25pm Tuesday Compared to me many of my customers are literally living in the past !! 🤣 as they are in the USA and Im always ahead of them in time. Even my Aussie friends are a few hours behind we kiwi's. So what City are you in? Is that home or are you travelling?

You know who should be using AI right now, today, immediately? The person who says: "I'm too busy to learn AI right now." Because that's EXACTLY why you need it. Let me explain the trap you're in: The Busy Trap: → You're drowning in tasks→ Every minute is spoken for→ Your to-do list grows faster than you can complete it→ You're working nights and weekends just to stay afloat→ Someone suggests: "You should look into AI"→ You think: "I don't have time to learn that"→ You stay drowning See the problem? You're using "too busy" as a reason to avoid the one thing that could actually give you time back. It's like saying: "I'm too out of shape to go to the gym""I'm too broke to learn about investing""I'm too disorganized to implement systems" The logic doesn't work. The problem IS the reason you need the solution. Here's what "too busy for AI" actually means: It means you're spending 3 hours writing emails that AI could draft in 15 minutes. It means you're spending 2 hours researching something AI could summarize in 10 minutes. It means you're spending all day creating content AI could help you produce in an hour. You're not too busy to learn AI. You're too busy WITHOUT it. Let's do the math: Time investment to start using AI: 30-60 minutes to learn one basic tool Time saved per week: 3-5 hours (conservative estimate) ROI: You "spend" 1 hour to save 5+ hours every single week forever That's a 400% return on investment. Weekly. Would you spend $100 to make $400 every week? Of course. Why won't you spend 1 hour to gain back 5 hours every week? The breakthrough: The busiest people aren't too busy for AI. They're the ones who need it most desperately. Because while everyone else is overwhelmed trying to do everything manually, they could be: ✅ Using AI to draft their emails in seconds ✅ Using AI to create content outlines in minutes ✅ Using AI to summarize research instantly ✅ Using AI to organize information automatically ✅ Using AI to handle repetitive tasks they hate
