AI FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

SESSION 01 · START WITH YOUR LIFE

MAKE AI
EARN
ITS KEEP.

Bring one real annoyance. Leave with something useful—not a tour of buttons.

60minutes to turn a real problem into a usable result

Use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or another AI assistant. The buttons may differ; the process stays the same.

START WITH SOMETHING REAL

What is taking up space in your head right now?

1

Something to decide

A purchase, plan, tradeoff, or next move.

2

Something to make

A message, list, schedule, explanation, or idea.

3

Something annoying

A task you keep avoiding or repeating.

Choose one small, privacy-safe thing. You will use the same thing all session.

LIVE WITH BRADY

Give AI a weak request.
Watch what it guesses.

Example: “Help me plan my weekend.”

Sounds fine

The wording may be polished.

Fits your life

It may miss your time, people, money, or finish line.

Room question: What did AI have to invent?

NO MAGIC WORDS

Give AI the details that change the answer.

You do not need your whole life story. You need a clear job and the facts that matter.

1JOB: What should AI help you finish?
2FACTS: What must it know?
3LIMITS: What must the answer fit?
4FINISH: What should you receive?
5ASK: What should AI clarify first?

THE ROOM DIRECTS · BRADY PERFORMS

Turn one weak request into something AI can actually use.

Call out details

The room supplies what AI needs to know.

Run it live

Brady sends the improved request and narrates what changes.

Judge it

Would somebody actually use this answer?

Performance rule: do not hunt for a perfect prompt. Direct the conversation until the result earns its place.

THE 12-MINUTE BUILD

Make something you can actually use.

Open Student Tools. Start with the thing you chose at minute 3. Give AI the useful details, answer its question, and get a first result.

Finish line: a decision you can explain, a message you can send, a plan you can follow, or a list you can use.
12:00
MAKE IT READY TO USE

ONE CHANGE · SAME CHAT

Name what is wrong.
Direct one improvement.

Keep

Name one part that already works.

Change

Name one thing that makes it less useful.

Try again

Ask for that repair without rebuilding everything.

Example: “Keep the three options. Put the cheapest first and tell me what I give up by choosing it.”

USEFUL IS NOT THE SAME AS TRUE

The more it matters,
the more you check.

Use fast

Ideas, rough drafts, organization, low-stakes practice.

Check the source

Prices, dates, rules, product facts, and quotations.

Keep a human in charge

Health, legal, financial, safety, and relationship decisions.

Choose the single detail in your result that would hurt most if it were wrong.

LIGHTNING SHARE

Show the first answer.
Show the useful answer.

Before

What was generic, missing, or guessed?

After

What changed because you directed AI?

Two or three people. Twenty seconds each. The room listens for a move worth stealing.

TAKE THIS WITH YOU

You do not need the perfect prompt.

You need a real job, the details that matter, and the judgment to say “not yet.”

Bring one answer worth checking to Session 2.
