AI isn't just a search engine. It can help you think through a hard decision, organize your house, plan your retirement, and sometimes — if you let it — say exactly what you needed to hear. Small Steps with AI is hosted by Jill from the Northwoods, a real person figuring out how this technology fits into real life. No coding. No hype. Just small steps.

I looked up from my screen one night and it was two in the morning. That’s not how my nights normally go, I’m usually the one who taps out first in any group project. But I was deep in a presentation with ChatGPT, and it
I have years of bird sightings sitting in a file I didn’t know what to do with. I also had an idea for a book series that might run 50 books, with no idea how to research it. AI knew exactly what to do with both. This ep
When you first got into AI, did you find yourself wondering what you were even supposed to do with it — like being handed a toolkit with no idea what to build? Most of us default to asking “what can I do with this tool,”
Most people open a new AI chat the same way they’d open a search bar — straight into a question, no context, no introduction. Then they wonder why the answers feel generic. In this episode, I walk through the three speci
I had a conversation with AI that started with a simple question about my bedtime routine and somehow ended up covering ADHD, extroversion, remote work, and retirement. If you’ve ever felt like a failure because someone
Binoculars around my neck, standing at the edge of a marsh — that’s how I started this morning, and it’s also how I want to start this episode, because today is about something practical: what AI actually looks like when
I was listening to a podcast interview with a former CIA hacker talking about AI, and his framing of how people use it was so different from my experience that I had to stop and figure out why. His version had AI as some
My backyard had been beating me for years. It’s big, woodland, weedy — and I love nature, but I have never loved gardening. Every spring I’d tell myself “this is the year,” and every summer I’d come back from birding or
My backyard had been beating me for years. It’s big, woodland, weedy — and I love nature, but I have never loved gardening. Every spring I’d tell myself “this is the year,” and every summer I’d come back from birding or
I didn’t expect a performance review to become a podcast episode. But that’s exactly what happened when I sat down to write my annual self-evaluation, asked AI to take a look at it, and AI told me — in no uncertain terms

I went back to the retirement conversation — but this time, I didn't bring numbers. I brought the feelings. In Part 1, I ran through the scenarios, looked at the variables, and watched some of the fog lift. But even with
I asked AI a question I'd been carrying around for years: am I going to be okay in retirement? Not a generic question — I gave it real scenarios, honest fears, and a budget. What I got back wasn't a magic answer. It was
Someone said to me recently: you have the most interesting conversations with AI. And I thought about it, and I think they’re right. I have questions I’ve been carrying for years — things that felt too small to research,
You didn’t miss the AI revolution. You’ve been living in it for decades — you just didn’t have a name for it. In this episode of Small Steps with AI, we trace the AI you’ve already been using your whole life: the recomme
I have written emails at two in the morning that I never sent. I have drafted letters in my head during a long drive and then sat down at my keyboard and couldn't get a single sentence right. Writing has always been the
I bought a refurbished slush machine. No instructions. And what happened next turned into one of the best examples I’ve had of what AI actually is — not a magic answer machine, but a thinking partner who helps you work a
Sam Altman says people saying please and thank you to ChatGPT costs OpenAI tens of millions of dollars in electricity. His response? “Well spent — you never know.” I agree with him. In Episode 4 of Small Steps with AI, I
You've been navigating unreliable information on the internet for years — you just didn't call it a skill. Checking sources, wondering about agenda, noticing when something sounds off. AI needs exactly that same kind of
Most people who try AI and find it unhelpful are having the wrong kind of conversation. They're typing in quick searches the same way they used Google, getting generic answers, and deciding the technology is overrated. I
