Beyond the Jargon: How AI coaching tools for executives transfom Lives in Real-World Applications

Twenty-five episodes ago, I nervously launched this podcast with a simple vision – to make artificial intelligence as approachable as your favorite cup of coffee. Today, we've reached a milestone worth celebrating as we wrap up Season One of AI Café Conversations!

The journey has been remarkable. We've explored how AI transforms industries from healthcare to entertainment, demystified complex technologies, and focused on practical applications rather than technical jargon. As your AI Whisperer, my mission has always been to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and everyday usefulness.

This special anniversary episode begins with breaking news about Governor Newsom's veto of California's AI safety bill, Amazon's $4 billion investment in Anthropic, and OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model with planned subscription price increases. We then dive into tangible ways non-technical people can harness AI's power, from personal applications like smart assistants and health tracking to business solutions including customer service chatbots and inventory management. I share real success stories from clients like Sophia, whose online boutique saw a 30% sales increase after implementing AI, and provide a simple four-step process to get started with AI without technical expertise.

Looking ahead to Season Two, I'm thrilled to announce we'll feature guest experts and answer your questions about AI. Your curiosity and enthusiasm have fueled this podcast, and I want your voice to shape our future content. Send your questions to [e-mail] as we prepare for an even more interactive and insightful season.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hello, hello, hello.
This is your host, sahar.
I am your AI whisperer.
So how have you been?
Dear listeners and dearpostcasters here, welcome to the
25th and final episode ofseason one of AI Cafe
Conversations.
I can't believe we have reachedthis incredible milestone

(00:38):
together.
I just remember my firstepisode and how nervous I was to
start it.
I wasn't sure if I can sustainit.
And one after the other, andnow I'm in the 25th.
They call that the silveranniversary.
I guess, surprise, surprise.
Next year, 2025, is my weddingsilver anniversary.

(00:58):
25 years, not 25 episodes.
So, uh, it has been an amazing,amazing journey and today we
are making it as memorable aspossible.
But before we do that, as usual, I want to share with you the
newest news that are happeningwith AI in general.

(01:22):
And, if you remember, in thelast couple of or three last
podcasts I had been talkingabout SB1047, which is a
California AI safety bill thatwas on Governor Newsom's desk
and he had to September 30th toapprove it or not.
He actually vetoed it.

(01:43):
He said that he does notbelieve that, though it's well
intended, it was too broad, sohe actually vetoed it.
It's designed.
It wanted, at the surface,safety for AI companies, but it
was opposed by many powerfulplayers in Silicon Valley,

(02:08):
including, believe it or not,house Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
openai and the Chamber ofProgress, who all felt it would
actually prevent the innovation.
Governor Newsom said it focusedtoo much on the biggest AI
model, saying that smaller,specialized models may emerge

(02:30):
equally as dangerous than themodels targeted by SB1047.
The author of the bill, senatorScott Weiner, said that this
decision was a setback foreveryone who believes in
oversight of massivecorporations that are making
critical decisions affectingpublic safety and welfare.

(02:54):
So here you have it it has beenshut down.
I had a feeling it was going tobe shut down because I see both
sides of it, maybe because I'm aLibra, so I see both sides but
I still believe in theprogression and the growth of AI
, because this is the only wayto do it.
Yes, we have to be careful, wehave to look for our safety, but

(03:18):
this looked to me like a veryspecial, interest-created bill.
So we'll see what's going tohappen.
So I promise I'm going to bringyou the results and I do it.
So today it's just like we areOctober 2nd, so that happened
two days ago.
It actually happened on the 30th, on Monday, in other news the

(03:41):
UK was worried about the AmazonAnthropic AI partnership, but it
has actually been cleared.
Amazon invested Jeff Bezosinvested $4 billion in Anthropic
, specifically in Cloud.
That is a Chad GPT equivalent.
I personally really like it alot.

(04:03):
So your Alexa from now on isgoing to be more or less
governed or operated by cloud,not its own in-house, but they
might start charging money ormembership fees for that.
What else?
The other important news isthat Chad GPT, or OpenAI, is

(04:27):
planning to raise the price ofthe individual GPT Chad GPT from
20 to 22 by the end of the yearand they are expecting by 2029.
It's going to jump to $44because OpenAI wants to reduce
its losses and appeal more toits investors.
The thing the problem is thatthere is a concern that this

(04:51):
rapid price increase couldtrigger a huge backlash from the
10 million Chad GPT customers.
Everybody thinks already that$20 per month is too much.
It reminds me of when Netflixall of a sudden increased the
prices and they lost a lot ofcustomers because of that.
In other news, if we are talkingabout Google, gmail has a new

(05:18):
development where they say itgot smarter.
It has something called SmartReply.
It will provide responsesuggestions so you don't have to
manually type a reply.
The new feature, also calledcontextual smart replies, it
takes the entire thread of theemail into account when
providing responses.
I have been kind of skeptical,honestly, about Gemini and

(05:42):
Google.
I love Gemini, I'm sorry.
I love Chrome, don't get mewrong.
I love Google and I use it likeevery single day, but when it
comes to AI, I am a little bitskeptical about it.
It has had a lot of biases, alot of mistakes, and they
release it and then they pull it, and then they release it and

(06:03):
then they pull it.
So I'm taking it with a grainof salt and I'm not applying
everything right away.
I just wait to see what's goingon.
The other thing is this isavailable.
Whatever I told you about,which is the smart reply and the
contextual smart replies, arenow offered only in English to

(06:24):
Google Workspace and Google OneAI premium users.
What else I want to share withyou today?
Let me see.
In other news.
Microsoft will relaunch itsRecall screenshot tool with
improved privacy features,features making it opt-in only,

(06:47):
easy to uninstall if you feellike it, and available on your
copilot plus computers inNovember.
Other news AI bots can now passCAPTCHA with a hundred Kept
chess with 100% success Wow.
The other big news for OpenAI isthat three top executives.

(07:12):
There is a shaking of topleadership in OpenAI because
OpenAI has shed its non-profitstatus and it becomes a
for-profit company.
That's probably why they arelooking at increasing the
memberships.
So Sam Altman, the president,said that leadership changes are

(07:34):
a natural part of companies,especially companies that grow
so quickly and are so demanding.
So we don't know what's goingto happen by that.
I mean it was great in thebeginning as a nonprofit, but
now, like I said, it's becominga for-profit.
Openai is about to get aninjection of $6.5 billion in a

(08:00):
record-setting funding round.
For better or for worse, we'llsee a lot of high-profile
resignation to slow down itsmomentum.
So we'll see AI is moving fastand we're going to see a lot of

(08:22):
stuff that we didn't think aregoing to happen.
I'll keep you posted as much asI can on that stuff.
What else I want to share withyou?
I want to share, maybe, acouple of tools with you.
One of them is SQL and you getinstant insights and visuals by

(08:42):
simply asking questions aboutyour data, a prompt that, um,
you can use on and I love it on.
You know how you can customizeyour chat gpt through your
settings, so this way you don'thave to repeat yourself all the
time.
What you can do also is thatyou can go for it on chat and

(09:07):
I'm speaking specifically onchat gpt either the free or the
paid version.
Of course it's better on thepaid version, but but on the
free one you can enter hi, myname is so-and-so, this is the
name of my company.
Go in details about what thecompany does in fine boring
details, what it does and thenenter who your target market is,

(09:30):
again in boring details.
If you have to work thesedetails before you do that, do
that right and enter whereyou're going locally and what
are you targeting, say what arethe pinpoints of the clients
that you're going after, andthen ask Chad GPT to remember.
You Ask it, chad GPT, I wantyou from now on to remember who

(09:53):
I am.
Can you do that?
And you ask can you do that andsee the response it's going to
give you and from now on you canjust go back to that and it
will remember.
You don't have to reenter anyof that over and over again.
I found this actually veryproductive and it saved me a lot
of time for me, and now,whatever I ask it, it remembers

(10:14):
exactly who I am.
This is what I wanted to share.
Now I want to go to the core ofour episode today.
Again, it's the 25th episode.
I can't believe this.
So grab your favorite cup ofcoffee, make it a special one

(10:35):
today, okay, and settle in.
It's a very special day for me.
We are brewing up an extraspecial blend of insights,
reflections and practical tipsthat will not only resonate with
you but also empower you toenhance your business and

Together, we have demystifiedAI, making it as approachable
and enjoyable as a cup of yourfavorite coffee.
Remember when we compared AI tothat mysterious new coffee

(11:44):
blend at the cafe.
Intriguing but a bitintimidating.
These 25 episodes we have tastedand tested, explored and
explained bringing AI into therealm of everyday conversation.
We have discussed how AI istransforming industries from

(12:07):
healthcare to entertainment, andhow it's creeping into our
daily lives in the form of smartassistance.
Creeping into our daily livesin the form of smart assistance,
personalized recommendationsand a lot more, and we have done
it all without getting tootechnical, focusing instead on
practical applications andinsights.

(12:27):
As I said from the beginning,I'm not a techie and I promised
you it's not going to betechnical jargon in my podcast.
So how are we making AI workfor us?
Today's episode is not just atrip down memory lane.
I want to leave you withsomething tangible, practical

(12:48):
ways you can harness the powerof AI to improve your business

Now I want to share with youreal-life success stories.
To illustrate, here are somestories of individuals who

(14:44):
embraced AI without being techexperts, and I'm proud to say
they are some of my clients.
Sophia's online boutiqueSophia's online boutique.
Sophia integrated an AI chatbotinto her website.
It answered customer questions,guided them through the
purchase process and evensuggested products.

(15:05):
Her sales increased by 30% injust three few months.
Mark Mark's fitness journey.
Mark used an AI-driven fitnessapp that adjusted his workout
plans based on his progress andfeedback.
He achieved his health goalsfaster and with more enjoyment

(15:29):
than he ever thought possible.
So these are simple steps to getstarted with AI.
You might be thinking thissounds great, but where do I
start?
I'm not a techie.
Hey, remember, I'm not a techieeither.
So here is a simple roadmap,one step one identify areas for

(15:52):
improvement.
Look at your daily routines orbusiness processes.
Is there a task that isrepetitive or time consuming?
That's a good place to consideran AI solution.
Step two research user-friendlyAI tools.
There are plenty of AI powertools designed for non-techies.

(16:15):
For personal use, apps likeTodoist or Todoist T-O-D-O-I-S-T
use AI to prioritize your tasks.
Grammarly or Quillbolt helpsimprove your writing in real

(16:36):
time.
For business use, platformslike Hootsuite employ AI to
optimize social media posts.
Quickbooks uses AI for smarteraccounting.
And on a personal level, you canopen your camera, go through
your pantry and your fridge andask AI to put a dinner menu for

(17:02):
you based on what you haveavailable, and then you can ask
it to give you individualrecipes, step by step.
This is how beautiful it is.
You can also ask it to give youa regimen or a diet for three
weeks that is keto or dirty ketoor low carb, or how can you go

(17:27):
into ketosis, and it can give itto you, and you can ask it for
recipes as well?
You can also ask it.
I have a busy schedule, but Ineed to work out 20 minutes to
get the best results in the nexttwo months.
I want to lose so many poundsin the next 60 days.
I have 20 minutes three times aweek.

(17:49):
I am that tall.
I weigh that much.
This is how old I am female ormale.
How can I achieve it, step bystep?
The next thing that we need tolook for, after identifying
areas of improvement andresearch, user-friendly AI tools

(18:10):
.
Step three is start small.
Begin with one tool orapplication.
Get comfortable with it beforeexpanding to others.
This prevents overwhelm andallows you to see tangible
benefits quickly.
Step four engage withcommunities.
Join forums or groups wherepeople share their experiences

(18:31):
with AI tools.
Websites like Reddit orLinkedIn groups can be valuable
resources.
Looking forward to the futureby the way, I'm not an affiliate
with any of that.
So to make it clear, world tothe future.
By the way, I'm not anaffiliate with any of that.
So to make it clear, as westand at the cusp of this new
era, remember that AI is notabout replacing humans, but

(18:59):
enhancing our capabilities.
It's like having that perfectcoffee companion who knows just
how you like your brew andanticipates your needs.
