Grassroots AI: The Future of AI is Personal

Forget giant corporations dictating the AI future. The real AI revolution is personal, and it's starting now! 

In this episode of the Verlicity AI Podcast, hosts Cristian Worthington and Sandra Giffin show you how to become an active builder, not just a passive user, in the evolving age of Artificial Intelligence. 

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The "Personal AI Stack" Concept: Learn how to think of AI tools (like Gemini, Claude) and your existing digital platforms (Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps) as "AI Lego bricks" that you can snap together to create customized solutions for your unique needs.    
• AI for Everyone - No Coding Required: We explore how you can build these AI Stacks without needing to be a software developer, focusing on intuitive assembly and emerging tools that simplify the process.    
• Practical Automation Today:
  • See a real-world example of building an AI Stack to automate meeting reports in just 5 minutes using Google Drive, Gmail, and Gemini – turning scattered notes and emails into concise summaries with action items.    
  • Understand how a property developer could use an AI Stack with tools like Google Drive and Gemini to analyze zoning laws, planning regulations, and site-specific data to generate compliant development proposals quickly.    
• The Evolution of AI - From Mainframes to Your Desktop: We draw parallels between the current AI landscape and the early days of personal computers, predicting a similar explosion of grassroots innovation.    
• Understanding the Tools & Ecosystems: We discuss the current AI landscape, from large-scale corporate AI to the tools available for individuals, including integrated ecosystems like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, and the rise of AI Orchestration Platforms.    
• Beyond Chatbots - The Power of AI Agents: Look ahead to AI Agents that can autonomously perform tasks and how they'll integrate into your Personal AI Stacks.    
• Empowering Your Future: Our goal is to give you a sense of the surprising ways AI might invade your job and how you can start developing your skills to be ready for this revolution, turning it into an opportunity.    

Get ready to not just witness the AI revolution but to actively shape it. Join Cris and Sandra to learn how the future of AI is becoming more accessible, customizable, and personal than ever before.
