What are your tips for using AI safely? I have created and tested plenty of custom Skills, Routines and custom Claude setups, but I'm really curious on what your practices are, on every level. How do you protect your data? How do you make sure your files don't get lost? One main tip - never treat any AI chat as storage! Many people lost their AI-generated files inside chatGPT or other LLMs, for various reasons. Always save all your resources to your computer, or to a safe, separate online storage like a private online drive.

Met a 72 year old guy who is absolutely in love with Claude. He joined a local AI meetup I organised. He said Claude made him 40 years younger and changed his life! He calls himself "recableado" (rewired). Within a couple of months, he learned everything from scratch and now runs his solo travel agency from his "Mission Control" on his phone. 15 specialised "AI brains", Vercel, MCPs, n8n, agents, connectors, ..... just wow. And on top of that, many facebook groups! ZERO tech background. 72 years old. Solo business since 1954. I saw him last year - quiet, drink in hand, talking about retiring. Now - vibrant, buzzing, bursting with energy. He couldn't contain his excitement sharing what he's built!! (And I couldn't stop listening and stayed 2h longer!!) "AI causes brain rot? Look at me!! I've never thought more, or been more busy and happy in my entire life!" He has just started writing a blog where he describes his story and what he is building. "A 72 year old traveller discovering the last continent". "Current state: 72 years old, 42 years of experience, 30+ Skills in Claude, 0 gin & tonics." Goosebumps!! I shared his story on Linkedin - such examples are so inspirational! I'm collecting your questions for a video with him - ask yours in comments! Do you know any other stories like that?

It is one of the most common questions in business right now. Not, “What is the best tool?” Not, “What prompt should I use?” Not even, “Will AI replace this role?” It is this: Where do I even start? That question matters because it reveals where a lot of people really are. Not resistant. Not lazy. Not behind on purpose. Just overwhelmed. There is so much noise, so many tools, so many opinions, and so much pressure to catch up fast that people freeze before they begin. And that is the real risk. Not starting. Because in this moment, the people who build an advantage with AI are not always the most technical. They are the ones who start simple, learn quickly, and turn small wins into repeatable ways of working. They do not wait until they understand everything. They begin where the friction already is. That is the answer more people need. Start where work feels unnecessarily slow. Start where time keeps leaking. Start with the task that repeats every week and drains more energy than it should. Writing a first draft. Summarizing notes. Planning the week. Organizing ideas. Responding to common messages. Turning scattered thoughts into something usable. AI becomes valuable fastest when it solves a problem that is already costing time. That is why the starting point is not the tool. It is the friction. This is where a lot of people get stuck. They think they need a perfect system before they begin. They think they need to master prompting, understand every platform, and know the full strategy upfront. They do not. The best place to start is with one use case, one workflow, one recurring task that can be made faster, clearer, or easier. That creates momentum. Because once someone sees AI help them save 20 minutes on a task they do every week, the conversation changes. It stops feeling abstract. It stops feeling intimidating. It becomes practical. From there, confidence grows. Then experimentation gets better. Then adoption becomes intentional. That is how real progress happens.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Aside from the holidays, I have spent the last 30 days in full business recovery mode following a disastrous workspace migration in ChatGPT on November 30th. I didn’t want to come back until I had something positive to report. Over the summer, before joining the AI Advantage I launched my startup using a ChatGPT Plus account tied to my personal email. As a (now) professional founder, I eventually realized it was necessary to separate my personal data from my business for IP protection, liability, and future HIPAA compliance with the app I’m building. When I started my ChatGPT account I hadn’t even thought about starting a company yet. Everything was mixed up. All my personal topics and my business building topics were in one account. Which is not a good thing. I knew enough to upgrade to a ChatGPT plus account when I started iterating business ideas, because I did not want them being trained on any of open AI models. I did everything by the book. I followed the documentation and even used ChatGPT to build a migration checklist. What happened next took my business out at the knees. ChatGPT wiped out every last bit of my data. Their support was nonexistent—no apology, no refund, and no path to recovery. $632.00 spent for a two year Business Workspace and nothing to show for it, everything gone. While my "founder discipline" meant I had backed up my core IP and design docs locally, I lost months of context and chat logs that served as the backbone of my cognitive scaffolding system. It was a disaster of epic proportions. I’ll admit it: I cried. Sobbed actually. I’m normally not a crier, but I had worked so damn hard for several months building something that I know is going to help people. I refused to let it be the end. I have spent December reconstituting my operations from the ground up, but I didn't go back to what broke. After learning that this has happened to dozens, if not hundreds of other founders and businesses, I migrated my entire company to Google Business Workspace (Enterprise Standard) and Gemini. The difference in professional stability and support has been night and day. Because of this move, I’ve recovered enough momentum to stay on track for our first product launch this January.

ChatGPT Health is led by Instagram’s former VP of Product. The person who spent 12 years optimizing for engagement at Instagram and Meta - keeping you scrolling, clicking, coming back - is now designing OpenAI tools for health decisions. What do you think can be the consequences? And do you use AI for your health?
