AI Agents are the next big thing. But what are they? Why are they important? How do I go about using them? In this mini guide I cover - What an AI Agent is - Why it's Important - Why it's not ChatGPT - Tools to Try Yourself - How to Build one And my recommendation to get started! We are still fairly early in the AI agent game. (With most use cases being pretty simple) But tech grows fast, so we need to too. Happy Monday and enjoy the week :) Repost to help others ♻️

I opened ChatGPT to write a message I easily could’ve written myself. It was something super simple - probably a 2-sentence reply. But I caught myself thinking: “Ugh, I just don’t feel like doing this. Let me have AI handle it.” That’s when it hit me... I wasn’t “using AI to be more efficient.” I was using it as a crutch. Because I didn’t want to activate my brain. And I’ve realized… this happens more than we want to admit. We always say AI is just here to assist us. To unlock higher-level thinking. To make us sharper. But if we’re being honest, sometimes it replaces our thinking altogether. It’s subtle. It starts with the little stuff: - summaries - replies - basic tasks But over time, that “assist” can turn into auto-pilot. And that’s a dangerous shift. Because the more we offload, the less we stay engaged. And the less we stay engaged, the more we lose the skill of deep thinking altogether. So how do we fight back? We have to reframe how we use these tools. Instead of saying “AI assists me,” the mindset needs to be: “I’m in the loop - actively. I think WITH the AI, not just after it.” Use it to challenge your thoughts. Use it to extend your ideas. But don’t let it become your default brain. Because the minute we stop exercising our own thinking - That’s when we start losing it. Have you noticed yourself doing this? Repost to share with others ♻️

AI images/videos are getting out of hand... I generated this video in two minutes with Veo 3. Imagine what you could get in two hours... So how do you spot AI content? Here's my best tips: 1. Look for inconsistencies Subtle details can often pinpoint AI generated content. The most common are: - Hands and Fingers - Eyes and Teeth - Backgrounds - Text/Logos - Unusual Objects - Reflections/Shadows 2. It's TOO Perfect If they look like they are shining, likely AI. Here's what to look out for: - Smooth/waxy skin - Lack of imperfections - Unnatural movements - Overly saturated colors 3. It isn't quite adding up Sometimes AI generated content simply doesn't make sense. Some examples include: - Functional Implausibility (hand phases through something) - Sociocultural Implausibility (Something that hasn't happened) - Nonsensical Sequences (Evens in an illogical manner) Sure, we can mostly tell for now. But what about by the end of 2025? Or simply two years from now? Things are moving fast. (Upskilling is a must) Stay safe out there! Repost to help others ♻️ P.S. Teach your loved ones ASAP.

"I finally figured out how to prompt well!" "Cool... but that was soooo last week." This is what it feels like for many right now. Every single day something new comes out, And there's a new trend to watch out for. Just for some reassurance - If you know how to prompt, you are just fine (for now). MANY people are still figuring this stuff out. MANY don't even know what a prompt is. The key is to do your best to stay in the loop. That doesn't mean you need to know how to create your own AI Agent. If you: - Understand how AI can apply to your work - Know how to prompt the tools properly - Have ways to learn the new trends You are gonna be alright.

When people talk about AI, it’s usually business this, productivity that. But sometimes - AI is just about doing the right thing. Like building tools that give blind students the same shot at learning as anyone else. That’s what the team behind Audemy is doing. It’s an AI-powered, audio-based learning platform designed specifically for blind and visually impaired students. It adjusts to each student’s pace. It keeps them engaged through interactive games. It even helps teachers personalize support. Right now, over 2,000 students are learning through Audemy! Learning through their ears, their curiosity, and their own pace. This is the kind of AI story that doesn’t make headlines. But it should. Because it reminds us that AI isn’t just about automation or growth. It’s also about access. Empowerment. Equity. And that’s worth celebrating. Repost to share this amazing initiative with others! Know any other AI projects making a difference like this?👇

85% of professionals say they feel disconnected at work. And team engagement is at a 10-year low. So when companies roll out AI tools with a slide deck and a one-time training? It’s no wonder nothing sticks. People don’t learn by being told. They learn by doing. By exploring. By playing. That’s why we created this guide on gamifying AI learning. It's a more effective approach to make learning stick. The current way of learning AI is - - Unoriginal - Lacks creativity - Easily forgettable But with gamifying your approach? The sky is the limit. Inside, you’ll find: • Why gamification works (and the science behind it) • Four mechanics to try—XP, challenges, leaderboards, etc • A simple quick-start plan to test it with your team Because when learning is fun, curiosity takes over. And that’s where real progress happens! Want the FULL guide we put together? Comment "Guide" and I'll send it! Repost to help others ♻️

Today I am officially 24 years old. I have been blessed with many things in my life recently, And I just wanted to thank you all for being a part of it! These past few years I've had huge growth: - From growing to nearly 12k friends on LI - To helping thousands with learning AI But the thing I'm most proud of? Actually going for it. If you would've told 20 year old me - "Hey you're gonna run your own business" I would've laughed in your face. "No way in a million years" But I took that leap and haven't looked back. Sure there have been: - Setbacks - Huge Failures - Anxiety Filled Days But that's led to where I am today. And I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you all for giving me this opportunity. I couldn't ask for a better community around me!
