Hey there,
Welcome back to AI, Eh? and a warm welcome to anyone joining us for the first time. Really glad you're here.
Before we dive in, here is a quick recap of where we have been so far in case you missed anything or want to share these with someone who is just getting started:

📌 Issue 1: 4 AI tools worth trying this week (no tech skills needed) 📌 Issue 2: How to write a prompt that actually gets you what you want |
In Issue 1 we introduced four free AI tools. In Issue 2 we covered how to talk to those tools so you actually get useful results. Now it is time to put it all together.
Choose a tool and try one prompt
For all of the prompts in this issue you can use any of these three free tools. Just open one up, paste the prompt in and see what comes back:

🤖 Claude — claude.ai — great for writing and explaining things clearly 🤖 ChatGPT — chat.openai.com — the most well known, very easy to get started with 🤖 Gemini — gemini.google.com — perfect if you are already in the Google ecosystem |
This week we are looking at 5 everyday tasks you can hand off to AI starting today. Each one includes a fill in the blank prompt and a ready made example you can copy and paste right now.
5 everyday tasks you can hand off to AI today

1. Responding to customer reviews Whether it is a glowing five star review or a frustrating complaint, responding to customer reviews takes time and the right words do not always come easily. AI is remarkably good at helping you craft responses that are warm, professional and on brand, without you having to stare at a blank screen wondering what to say. This works for Google reviews, Facebook reviews, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or anywhere else your customers leave feedback. Fill in the blank prompt:

2. Writing emails Most of us write dozens of emails every week. Some are easy, but the ones that require a delicate touch, asking for something, delivering bad news, following up without being pushy, those are the ones that eat up way more time than they should. AI can draft almost any email you need in seconds. You still need to read it, adjust the tone, and make it sound like you, but it gets you 80% of the way there instantly. Fill in the blank prompt:

3. Drafting your professional bio Almost everyone has a professional bio that is either outdated, too long, too stiff, or all three. Whether it is your LinkedIn about section, your website about page, a speaker introduction, or a bio for a community organization, keeping it current and well written is something most people dread. AI is excellent at this. Give it the raw facts about who you are and what you do and it will organize them into something clear, engaging and appropriately professional. Fill in the blank prompt:

4. Researching and comparing options Before you buy a new piece of equipment, switch suppliers, choose an insurance plan, or make any significant decision, you usually need to do some research. That research can take hours. AI can compress it significantly. You can ask AI to compare two or more options, explain the pros and cons of each, and flag things you might not have considered. It gives you a much stronger starting point in a fraction of the time. Fill in the blank prompt:

5. Writing thank you notes and follow up messages After a job interview, a client meeting, a networking event, or really any interaction where you want to leave a good impression, a well written follow up message makes a real difference. Most people know they should send one. Most people also put it off because they are not sure what to say. AI makes this effortless. Give it the basic details of the interaction and ask it to write a warm, genuine follow up message. It takes thirty seconds and the impression it leaves can last much longer. Fill in the blank prompt:

AI assisted, Human led. Whatever AI produces for you, always read it, verify it, and make it sound like you. AI is an incredible first draft machine. Your judgment, your voice, and your values are always the final layer. |
As always, I read every reply personally. Which of these five tasks are you going to try first? Hit reply and let me know. Your answers help shape future issues!
If you found this useful, feel free to forward it to a friend, family member, or colleague who could benefit. The more Canadians who feel confident using AI the better!
