AI isn’t just for work. And it isn’t just for “tech people.”

It’s a practical tool you can use in your everyday life—right now—to solve real problems, reduce friction, and make your days a little easier and more interesting.

This book is a collection of 10 real stories of how I’ve personally used AI outside of work: planning travel, rebuilding a passion project, organizing decades of ideas, launching a newsletter, making better decisions, prototyping apps in under a minute, and even navigating a crisis when my passport expired the night before an international flight.

Each chapter follows a simple, powerful framework:

Need → Problem → Solution

Instead of focusing on tools or jargon, I focus on:

What I actually needed
What was in the way
How I used AI as part of the solution

The point isn’t to impress you with technology—it’s to show you the thinking process behind small, practical wins that anyone can replicate.

Whether you’re curious about AI, overwhelmed by it, or unsure how to start, this book gives you a clear, human way in. It’s approachable, story-driven, and written for people who don’t want to become experts—they just want to solve a problem.

Inside, you’ll learn how AI helped me:

Turn scattered ideas into organized creative projects
Launch a newsletter after years of procrastination
Build working software prototypes in under 60 seconds
Transform voice journaling into a powerful thinking system
Visualize my entire life in weeks to see patterns and plan intentionally
Create a smarter, more engaging trade show experience
Stay calm and find clarity during a real-world travel emergency

These are not theoretical examples—they’re everyday use cases pulled directly from my life.

Why I Wrote This Book

This all began with a lightning talk, where I tried to share ten AI uses in ten minutes. Each story was too big for a one-minute summary, so I built deeper write-ups and short video overviews. Eventually, those grew into this book—something readers could explore at their own pace.

My goal is simple:

Show you what’s possible, spark an idea, and help you run your own Need → Problem → Solution experiments.

If one chapter helps you solve a problem, think differently, or feel more confident using AI in your daily life, then this book has done its job.
