AI Tools For Everyday Life

By Xavi Kasper

A plain guide for people who are not technical, have no interest in becoming technical, and simply want to know whether these tools are worth bothering with.

There has been an enormous amount of noise about artificial intelligence, most of it either breathless enthusiasm or dire warning, and very little of it useful to someone trying to decide whether to use it.

The honest position is duller than either extreme. These tools are genuinely useful for a specific and reasonably well- defined set of tasks. They are unreliable for others. Knowing which is which is most of the skill, and it takes about an afternoon to learn.

This book starts with the single most useful idea: these are language machines, not knowledge machines. They are remarkable at anything where good output is a matter of wording - drafting, rephrasing, summarising, explaining, structuring. They are unreliable wherever the answer depends on a specific fact being correct. Everything else follows from that.

From there it covers how to ask well, how to get consistently useful results, and then works through the everyday tasks where these tools genuinely help: writing and email, getting through long documents, planning, learning something new, the working day, and home life.

Two chapters deal with what prevents actual problems. One on what to verify and how, because a fabricated answer arrives in exactly the same confident tone as a correct one. One on privacy, judgement, and where not to use these tools at all.

Deliberately, this book avoids step-by-step instructions for specific products. Those change constantly and any book telling you which button to press is wrong within months. What does not change is the underlying skill, which transfers between tools and survives updates.

Includes a full prompt library, organised by task, that you can copy and adapt.
