Every session is tailored to your comfort level and goals. No question is too small, no pace too slow. I’m here to support you until you feel truly confident with your technology—whether that takes one visit or several.
What Is AI, Really?
You’ve probably heard about AI (artificial intelligence) in the news or from family members. Maybe you’re curious, skeptical, or both. That’s completely normal.
At its simplest, AI is technology that can understand questions, provide information, help with writing, and assist with everyday tasks—kind of like having a very knowledgeable assistant available anytime you need one.
But unlike a search engine where you hunt for the right link, AI can have a conversation with you, answer follow-up questions, and explain things in ways that make sense to you.
Why You Might Want to Learn About AI
AI isn’t just for tech experts. It can genuinely help with everyday tasks:
Get answers to questions – Ask about recipes, health information, historical facts, or anything you’re curious about
Help with writing – Draft emails, birthday cards, or thank you notes with a little assistance
Learn new things – Get explanations about topics that interest you, at your own pace
Organize information – Summarize long articles, create lists, or help plan events
Creative projects – Get ideas for gifts, activities, or hobbies
Common Concerns (And Honest Answers)
“Is it safe?” – When used properly, yes. I’ll show you what to share and what to keep private, just like we talk about with email and online shopping.
Plan meals from what you have – Tell AI what’s in your fridge—chicken, carrots, rice, and some herbs—and it can suggest complete meals you can make right now, no grocery trip needed
“Is it hard to learn?” – The basics are actually quite simple. If you can send a text message, you can use AI. We start with easy tasks and build from there.
“What if I make a mistake?” – You can’t break anything by asking questions. AI is designed to be conversational and forgiving.
What We’ll Cover Together
I’ll teach you:
- How to access AI tools on your phone, tablet, or computer
- What kinds of questions to ask and how to ask them
- What information is safe to share (and what to keep private)
- How to verify information and think critically about AI responses
- Practical everyday uses that match your interests
- How to recognize AI limitations and when to rely on human expertise instead
We Start Where You Are
Some people want to understand AI because their grandchildren talk about it. Others are curious about specific uses—planning a trip, researching family history, or getting help with a hobby.
Whatever your reason for wanting to learn, we’ll focus on what matters to you. This isn’t a generic class—it’s personalized guidance based on your goals and comfort level.
Safe, Practical, and Judgment-Free
I won’t overwhelm you with technical details you don’t need. We’ll focus on practical, safe uses that genuinely improve your daily life. And just like with all my tech support, there’s no judgment—only patient, clear explanations.
You don’t need to become an expert. You just need to understand enough to use AI confidently when it’s helpful, and to know when it’s better to ask a real person instead.
