My name is TJ, and I am here to learn AI automation. I am a beginner, and I could use any advice to get started. What is the easiest and best way to start. How to start and what to do to become successful. My goal is to change my life and retire from being an ADT Security installation tech and become an AI Automation expert.

Any other caregivers here? This is a big commitment for so many of us and a regular part of our daily lives. Caregiving has run quietly alongside my professional life for most of my adulthood. At age 19 I became a caregiver for my mom while serving in the U.S. Navy, and I carried that role for 28 years alongside full time work, raising a family, and managing long term medical needs across changing stages of care. The mental load has never turned off. I track, plan, anticipate, and make decisions constantly, often without visibility or support. I’m so grateful for the AI tools we have now! I wish they were available back when I REALLY needed them. That experience shapes how I think about everyday cognitive support. I look past productivity hacks and focus on practical ways of reducing friction and mental overhead. My life in a 7 person multigenerational household is complex and emotionally loaded. My household ranges in age from 5 years old to 92 years old. I’m interested in what tools, systems, or approaches other caregivers find genuinely helpful while balancing caregiving with their work and daily responsibilities, even just small things that make life feel more manageable. I’m right here in the trenches with you, Sandwich Generation friends. Hugs.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Preston, 24. I recently graduated college and am currently working in restaurant operations/management, alongside doing some part-time fitness coaching. I’m also exploring a future transition into sales and real estate. I’ve been using AI for about two years, and at this point it’s a daily tool for me. I use multiple AI tools to help with thinking, learning faster, research, planning, and generally optimizing how I run my life. The main area I want AI to help me with is optimization and efficiency — helping me identify what actually matters for my goals and building systems that allow me to move faster with less wasted time and effort. I joined this community to learn how others are using AI as a practical life and productivity tool, and to sharpen how I apply it to work, personal systems, and long-term goals. Fun fact: I used AI to help me polish this intro and I’m a huge Auburn football fan. Looking forward to learning with everyone here 👊
