The painful way: Having circular conversations with AI tools that take more time than you have and end with less than optimal outcomes that in no way resemble all the hyped capabilities that you see on social media. AI was supposed to be magically delicious but in reality it’s painfully obtuse.

The delightful way: Discovering the cheat code to unlock whatever you need out of AI, no matter the tool or program every time all the time.

Working with AI can be a drag. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Understanding some key differences between how machines operate and how humans communicate can unlock untold creativity and productivity innovation. You can integrate AI into your everyday work life and get great results. This keynote shows you how.

In this 60-minute engagement session audience participants learn:
– How to make their requests “machine-ready,” for better AI outcomes
