1 contribution to AI Agents For Beginners
Determined Old Lady
Hi all, I'm an 84 year old Canadian woman, and I used to work in the Computing Services dept at a university in Ontario. I have a continuing keen interest in things technical, and am really jazzed (and a bit worried) about how AI is reshaping the world. I want to explore how best it can be used by seniors to assist in their daily living. I live now in a retirement residence and I know many seniors still use their computers and smartphones, but they have no idea of how to use AI, nor how it can help them in any way. Most online AI Learning "tutorials" lean toward business uses, but seniors want to have a few simpler, practical things, like a reminder system for appointments & other commitments, or help summarizing information input, or suggestions for financial and legal and health decisions in their own province of Canada. There are so many practical things for everyday living that my Claude helps me with, and I'm sure I will use "him" more as I learn about creating agents. Trust is my big issue. Do I let Claude look at my financial information files on my laptop? Do I let "him" actually DO things with my files on my computer? I'm hoping that being in this group will help me with all that. Then I can teach other seniors!
