We also share three bonus tricks to make AI actually useful in your day-to-day: iterate like a conversation, control the format (tables, bullets), and set limits/jargon filters so you get clear, actionable output—fast. Expect practical, relatable examples (travel planning, work docs, summaries for non-technical teammates) you can copy today. Episode based on the “smart friend” mindset.
