AI is everywhere, but how do you actually use it in a way that saves time and makes your work easier? When people ask me where to start with AI, my answer is almost always the same: don't try to learn everything. Start with one problem you want to solve. It feels like there's a new tool, update, or headline every day, making it easy to think you need to master it all. But the biggest wins often come from finding a few ways AI can eliminate repetitive tasks so you have more time to focus on the work that matters most. This week, I had the chance to sit down with AI expert and software engineer Kesha Williams to talk about moving beyond simple prompts and using AI to build systems that handle repetitive work. We cover everything from identifying tasks that are perfect for automation to creating guardrails that keep AI helpful, reliable, and human-centered.
