A running list of ways I want to use AI — to learn faster, work smarter, and explore new ideas.

Learning

  • Summarize a long article into 3 bullet points before reading it in full.
  • Generate a quiz from notes I just took, to test what stuck.
  • Translate a concept I half-understand into an analogy from a domain I know well.

Writing

  • Draft a first pass of an email or doc, then rewrite it in my own voice.
  • Ask for three different framings of the same idea and pick the strongest.
  • Use AI as a critic: paste a paragraph and ask what a skeptical reader would push back on.

Coding

  • Explain unfamiliar code line-by-line.
  • Generate tests for a function I just wrote.
  • Bounce architectural decisions off it before committing to one approach.

Everyday

  • Plan a week of meals from what’s already in the fridge.
  • Turn a messy brain-dump into a clean to-do list.
  • Draft thoughtful replies to tricky messages.

Bigger experiments

  • A personal “second brain” that reads my notes and surfaces forgotten ideas.
  • A weekly review assistant that asks me reflection questions every Friday.
  • A reading companion that connects what I’m reading now to what I read last month.
