HowIAI

I use AI when it solves concrete problems: writing code, automating tedious computer work, querying documentation, and building repeatable workflows. What matters to me is not hype but friction removed.

Coding Assistance

AI-assisted coding is what made a lot of this site possible. It lets me build websites, make small digital products, and create custom tools that fit my exact needs instead of waiting for the perfect software to exist.

Agentic Computer Work

One of the most useful shifts is when AI stops just answering questions and starts acting on files, folders, and documents. That means sorting material, generating documents, running scripts on selected files, grading student work, or reorganizing a messy structure without turning every step into manual labor.

Skills And Workflows

Skills are where AI becomes repeatable. They turn annoying semi-technical routines like clicking through interfaces, copying, pasting, formatting, renaming, and filling templates into workflows I can trigger conversationally. Less friction, fewer errors, and much less time wasted on operations that should never have been manual in the first place.

Grounded Documentation Q&A

Sometimes the best use of AI is not knowing more, but being pointed at the right source material. Instead of only browsing documentation page by page, I can give the agent the relevant docs directly and ask questions against them. It becomes a fast way to troubleshoot, compare approaches, and get unstuck without guessing.

Image And Video Generation

Image and video generation can be useful either as production assets or as the final output. Sometimes that means concept frames, visual references, textures, or supporting media. Sometimes the generated piece is the project itself.
