I need to read far more than average in my professional work. That led me to create personalised “effective reading” manuals using AI. What I’ve realised is that reading itself is a very essential skill worth optimising when using AI replies. There are two sides to the equation: 1. What AI generates - which depends on how well we use it (prompts, context, techniques learned in bootcamp, etc.) 2. How well we read and process - how fast we absorb, understand, and consequently how fast we turn ideas into action. If you overlooked the second part, and you think you'd benefit from reading AI faster, you can also improve it using AI - especially now that we have personal clones. You'd be surprised (or maybe not that much) at the variety of suggestions to make reading a better experience altogether. A simple approach that you could try: (1) Give the AI some further context and ask it to interview you, one question at a time, about your reading habits (e.g. screen vs book, technical vs leisure reading, AI outputs, language level, environment, focus - leave it up to AI). (2) Then ask it: “Create a personalised list of 10 AI prompts to improve my reading effectiveness and reading speed.” (3) You’ll notice the prompts naturally fall into Before Reading, During Reading, and After Reading. (4) Open a new chat and run each prompt one by one. Answer any clarifying questions it asks so the output becomes even more personalised. (5) Have it compile three short manuals (like I did): before, during, and after reading. I printed the manuals on a PDF and I'm implementing them one by one (slowly but surely, not necessarily all at one go).

Here's the mistake we see everyone making: trying to master every AI tool that hits the market. ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Notion AI, Jasper, GG, Runway, Stable Diffusion... the list never ends. Result? Analysis paralysis. Tool overload. Zero progress. Here's what actually works: Pick ONE tool. Get really good at it. Use it until it saves you real time and money. THEN add the next one. We call it the "AI Staircase" approach: - Step 1: Master ChatGPT for your most time-consuming task - Step 2: Once it's automatic, add ONE specialized tool - Step 3: Repeat (but only after step 2 is effortless) The truth: You don't need to know everything about AI. You need to know the RIGHT things for YOUR business. Most successful entrepreneurs we know use 2-3 AI tools really well, not 20 tools poorly.

What are the best AI tools right now? I’m looking for both the well‑known ones and some lesser known tools that only a few people are using

Hey everyone, I’m an AI Consulting student (320 hours / 41 days in or so! after the AI bootcamp). I just wasted huge chunks of time troubleshooting a "technical" failure that turned out to be a simple AI quirk. If you are an AI power user like me generating images/assets and your "Download" button on those images suddenly stops working (dead clicks, errors), read this before you touch your PC browser settings. 🛑 The Trap (What I Tried & Failed) I thought my computer security was blocking the files, or thought my browser was giving me problems. I went down a deep rabbit hole and LOST 1.5 hrs. of my life and did all of this, and NONE of it worked: - ❌ Disabled every browser extension on Microsoft Edge. - ❌ Cleared all cache and cookies three times - ❌ Reinstalled the PWA GEMINI PRO APP (Taskbar App) twice. - ❌ Disabled Antivirus & Privacy protections (iolo/System Mechanic). - ❌ Disabled Windows Defender SmartScreen. - ❌ Whitelisted every Google URL: gemini.google, googleusercontent. and content.googleapis - ❌ Checked Windows Defender Settings Result: The download button was still broken and I couldn't download more images from my Chat on GEMINI PRO! ✅ The Reality: Its called SESSION STATE CORRUPTION BUGS in all LLMS like GPT CHAT and GEMINI PRO. You won't know this until you spend hours and hours using AI, even if you have 10 different chats assigned for different task like videos, images, research, pdf file manipulation. It wasn't my computer. It was the chat thread itself that broke the session. But it doesn't tell you won't' even know. Yes, you can keep talking to it but you won't be able to download NEW images like me for png transparent purpose so you can use them on other artwork or platforms. WHEN YOU ARE A POWER AI USER ON LLMS- ESPECIALLY WHEN GENERATING LOTS OF IMAGES - SESSION STATE CORRUPTIONS OR GHOSTING IS INEVITABLE!! - It happens on both GEMINI PRO and CHATGPT . That's my practical observation. - The "handshake" between your specific chat window and the server breaks. - The file exists, but your current session token is "burnt" and can't retrieve it. - There is no fix for this right now. Sessions just break constantly under heavy load.
