            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By Mandy Rahim | Mandy Everyday Chick</em></p><p>What if ChatGPT could decorate a Halloween room based on everything it knows about your dreams, personality, and goals?</p><p>That’s exactly what I decided to try.</p><p>And I have to say, I love how it turned out!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Wp2k-H_P_64vTDUUBE9ChQ.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DZeVS6utS/"><strong>Spooky Vision Board</strong></a></figcaption></figure><h3>From a Simple Pumpkin to a Spooky Vision Board</h3><p>I started by asking ChatGPT to generate a realistic jack-o’-lantern.</p><p>Nothing complicated. Just a glowing pumpkin with a carved smile.</p><p>Then I uploaded a picture of myself and asked ChatGPT to decorate the room around the pumpkin based on everything it knows about me.</p><p>There was just one additional instruction:</p><p><strong>Keep it spooky!</strong></p><p>Suddenly, that simple pumpkin was sitting inside a beautifully decorated Halloween room filled with meaningful details.</p><p>There were references to my interests in AI, digital products, building a business, teaching others, family, and personal goals.</p><p>It felt like my vision board had gotten dressed up for Halloween.</p><h3>Want to Create Your Own?</h3><p>Here’s a beginner-friendly prompt you can copy and paste into ChatGPT.</p><p><strong>The Prompt:</strong></p><p>“Use my uploaded jack-o’-lantern image as the centerpiece. Transform the surrounding room into a photorealistic, spooky Halloween dream room inspired by everything you know about my personality, goals, passions, and aspirations.</p><p>Fill the space with thoughtful decorations that visually represent my interests, career dreams, creative ambitions, family priorities, and the future I’m working toward.</p><p>Add bats, cobwebs, candlelight, mysterious ravens, rich fall colors, and cozy Halloween details. Make the room atmospheric, beautiful, and a little spooky.</p><p>Keep the original pumpkin recognizable, use meaningful visual details, and make the finished image look like a realistic photograph. Only include personal facts I have provided.”</p><p>If ChatGPT doesn’t know enough about you, add your three biggest goals and a few favorite interests to the prompt.</p><h3>Why I Love This Exercise</h3><p>It’s more than a Halloween image.</p><p>It’s a reminder that AI can be a creative tool for exploring ideas, visualizing goals, and expressing your personality.</p><p>You don’t have to be a professional designer to experiment with it.</p><p>You just need an idea, a few clear instructions, and the willingness to see what happens.</p><p>I’m continuing to explore ways beginners can use AI to create digital artwork, journals, printables, and other creative products.</p><p>I’m also working on a learning community where I’ll be sharing more of these skills.</p><p>For now, I’d love for you to try this challenge.</p><p><strong>What would your spooky dream room look like?</strong></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mandyeverydaychick">@MandyEverydaychick</a> for more creative AI prompts, beginner-friendly tutorials, and digital product ideas.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1abc41312959" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Copy, paste, customize, and teach.</em></p><p>Teachers do so much more than teach.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XyGOYaLv0-HGFESFknf6cw.png" /></figure><p>They plan lessons, create activities, differentiate instruction, write discussion questions, prepare assessments, and find ways to make learning feel relevant for their students.</p><p>That’s a lot to carry.</p><p>And while AI isn’t a replacement for good teaching, it <em>can</em> be a powerful assistant when it comes to brainstorming, organizing, and speeding up the lesson-planning process.</p><p>If you’ve ever wished for a little help getting started, this article is for you.</p><p>Today I’m sharing <strong>five AI lesson planning prompts every teacher should save</strong>. These are simple, practical, and easy to customize for your own classroom. You can use them with tools like ChatGPT or similar AI assistants to help you generate ideas faster and plan more efficiently.</p><p>The key is this: <strong>AI gives you a starting point. You bring the professional judgment, classroom knowledge, and student understanding that make the lesson truly work.</strong></p><p>Let’s get into it.</p><h3>Engaging Lesson Ideas</h3><p>One of the hardest parts of planning can be coming up with fresh lesson ideas that are both engaging and aligned to standards.</p><p>This prompt helps you brainstorm creative lesson options while staying focused on your subject, grade level, and instructional goal.</p><p><strong>Copy-ready prompt:</strong></p><p><strong>Give me 5 creative and engaging lesson ideas for [subject] for [grade level] that align with [standard]. Include a brief activity description and materials needed.</strong></p><h3>Why this prompt is useful</h3><p>This helps you move beyond “What should I teach?” and into “How can I teach this in a way that students will actually connect with?”</p><h3>Example use</h3><p>You might type:</p><p><em>Give me 5 creative and engaging lesson ideas for science for 4th grade that align with a standard about ecosystems. Include a brief activity description and materials needed.</em></p><p>From there, you can review the ideas, choose the one that fits your students best, and adjust it for your classroom.</p><h3>Differentiated Activities</h3><p>Every classroom includes students with different needs, readiness levels, and learning styles. Differentiation matters — but creating multiple versions of an activity can take a lot of time.</p><p>This prompt helps you generate differentiated options more quickly.</p><p><strong>Copy-ready prompt:</strong></p><p><strong>Create 3 differentiated activities for [topic] for [grade level] — one for students needing additional support, one at grade level, and one for advanced learners. Include clear instructions for each.</strong></p><h3>Why this prompt is useful</h3><p>It can help you think through how to support a wider range of learners without starting from scratch every time.</p><h3>Example use</h3><p>You might type:</p><p><em>Create 3 differentiated activities for fractions for 5th grade — one for students needing additional support, one at grade level, and one for advanced learners. Include clear instructions for each.</em></p><p>This can give you a useful first draft that you can then adapt based on your classroom, pacing, and student needs.</p><h3>Discussion Questions</h3><p>Classroom discussion can be one of the most powerful parts of learning — but strong questions don’t always come instantly, especially when you’re planning under pressure.</p><p>This prompt helps generate a range of discussion questions that go beyond simple recall.</p><p><strong>Copy-ready prompt:</strong></p><p><strong>Generate 10 thought-provoking discussion questions about [topic] for [grade level]. Include a mix of recall, analysis, and real-world application questions.</strong></p><h3>Why this prompt is useful</h3><p>It helps you create richer conversations and gives you a mix of question types that can deepen student thinking.</p><h3>Example use</h3><p>You might type:</p><p><em>Generate 10 thought-provoking discussion questions about the water cycle for 3rd grade. Include a mix of recall, analysis, and real-world application questions.</em></p><p>You can then select the strongest questions for whole-group discussion, partner work, journals, or exit tickets.</p><h3>Assessments &amp; Rubrics</h3><p>Creating clear rubrics and student-friendly assessment tools can be time-consuming, especially when you want expectations to be both useful and easy to understand.</p><p>This prompt helps you create a strong rubric draft in minutes.</p><p><strong>Copy-ready prompt:</strong></p><p><strong>Create a rubric to assess [type of project or assignment] for [grade level]. Include 4 performance levels with clear, student-friendly descriptions.</strong></p><h3>Why this prompt is useful</h3><p>Instead of staring at a blank page, you get a structure you can revise and tailor to your assignment.</p><h3>Example use</h3><p>You might type:</p><p><em>Create a rubric to assess a persuasive writing assignment for 5th grade. Include 4 performance levels with clear, student-friendly descriptions.</em></p><p>This can help you build a clearer assessment tool and communicate expectations more effectively to students.</p><h3>Real-World Connections</h3><p>Students learn better when they understand why something matters.</p><p>This prompt helps you connect classroom content to everyday life so lessons feel more meaningful and memorable.</p><p><strong>Copy-ready prompt:</strong></p><p><strong>Give me 5 real-world examples or scenarios to help students understand [topic]. Include a short explanation of how each example connects to everyday life.</strong></p><h3>Why this prompt is useful</h3><p>It supports relevance, engagement, and comprehension by helping students connect abstract ideas to real experiences.</p><h3>Example use</h3><p>You might type:</p><p><em>Give me 5 real-world examples or scenarios to help students understand decimals. Include a short explanation of how each example connects to everyday life.</em></p><p>That could lead to examples involving money, measurements, sports statistics, recipes, and shopping — all things students may better relate to.</p><h3>How to Use These Prompts Well</h3><p>These prompts can save time, but the best results happen when you treat AI as a planning assistant — not as an autopilot.</p><p>Here are a few quick tips:</p><ul><li><strong>Be specific.</strong> The more detail you give, the more useful the response will be.</li><li><strong>Customize the output.</strong> Edit ideas so they fit your students, goals, and teaching style.</li><li><strong>Check for accuracy.</strong> Always review AI-generated content for correctness.</li><li><strong>Align to your standards.</strong> Make sure the lesson matches your curriculum requirements.</li><li><strong>Protect student privacy.</strong> Never enter identifiable student information into an AI tool.</li></ul><p>AI can help you brainstorm faster, but your knowledge of your students is what makes the lesson meaningful.</p><h3>Why Teachers Should Save These Prompts</h3><p>The truth is, teachers don’t need more busywork.</p><p>They need tools that help them reclaim time, spark ideas, and support the real work they’re already doing.</p><p>These five prompts are useful because they’re flexible. You can use them for elementary classrooms, middle school, high school, homeschooling, tutoring, or even educational content creation.</p><p>And the best part?</p><p>You don’t need to reinvent your process every time. You can save these prompts, reuse them, and adapt them whenever you need fresh planning support.</p><h3>Want More Ideas for Using AI in Education?</h3><p>If you’re interested in exploring how AI can support teaching, lesson planning, classroom creativity, and educational resource creation, I recommend checking out the <a href="https://aiandeducationsummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>AI Education Summit</strong></a>.</p><p>It’s a helpful resource for educators, creators, and anyone curious about how AI can be used thoughtfully in education.</p><p><strong>👉 </strong><a href="https://aiandeducationsummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>Explore the AI Education Summit here</strong></a></p><p>Whether you’re brand new to AI or already experimenting, it’s a great place to keep learning and discover new possibilities.</p><p>AI won’t replace great teachers.</p><p>But it <em>can</em> help teachers save time, generate ideas, and reduce some of the pressure that comes with planning everything from scratch.</p><p>So if lesson planning has been feeling heavy lately, start simple.</p><p>Save these five prompts. Try one this week. See what helps.</p><p>You might be surprised how much easier planning can feel when you have a creative assistant to help you get started.</p><p><strong>Which of these five prompts would you use first?</strong></p><p>This article contains an affiliate link to the AI Education Summit.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Less time planning, more time teaching! Discover practical AI tools for lesson plans, worksheets, classroom activities, and engaging learning experiences.</em></p><p>By Mandy Rahim | Mandy Everyday Chick</p><p>Teachers, can we talk about something?</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/512/1*JrEHRjqzZTn636zEMpuDgg@2x.jpeg" /></figure><p>Teaching is so much more than what happens in front of the classroom.</p><p>There are lesson plans to prepare, worksheets to create, assessments to review, presentations to design, and students with different learning needs to support.</p><p>And somehow, educators are expected to fit all of that into an already packed schedule!</p><p>That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about how artificial intelligence is changing education.</p><p>With my background in education and my love for creating digital learning resources, I’ve been exploring how AI can make everyday tasks easier for teachers, parents, homeschoolers, and educational creators.</p><p>And here’s what I keep coming back to:</p><p>AI isn’t here to replace great teachers. It can help give them more time to do what they do best — teach, inspire, and connect with students.</p><p>So today, I’m sharing five AI tools and features worth exploring.</p><p>You don’t have to be a technology expert to start. You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to try something new.</p><ol><li>ChatGPT — Your Creative Lesson-Planning Assistant</li></ol><p>Explore ChatGPT</p><p>Have you ever stared at a blank lesson plan wondering how to make a topic more exciting?</p><p>That’s where ChatGPT can come in handy!</p><p>ChatGPT can help educators brainstorm creative lesson ideas, design classroom activities, develop discussion questions, and organize instructional content.</p><p>Here’s what you can use it for:</p><ul><li>Brainstorming engaging lesson ideas</li><li>* Creating discussion and critical-thinking questions</li><li>* Developing age-appropriate writing prompts</li><li>* Drafting exit tickets and assessments</li><li>* Exploring different ways to explain challenging concepts</li><li>* Suggesting activities for different learning needs</li></ul><p>Try this AI prompt:</p><p>“Act as an experienced elementary school teacher and instructional designer. Create an engaging 45-minute lesson plan for 5th-grade students about ecosystems. Include a learning objective, warm-up activity, teacher explanation, hands-on activity, five discussion questions, a short exit ticket, and three ways to differentiate instruction. Make the activities interactive, age-appropriate, and easy to implement with basic classroom supplies. Identify anything I should verify against my curriculum standards.”</p><p>Now imagine taking that first draft and asking ChatGPT to turn it into a worksheet, classroom game, or short presentation!</p><p>Of course, the teacher still reviews everything for accuracy, age appropriateness, and alignment with their school’s curriculum.</p><p>Why I love this use case: You aren’t starting from a blank page every time. You’re starting with ideas you can refine and make your own.</p><p>2. Canva Magic Studio — Beautiful Classroom Resources Without Starting From Scratch</p><p>Explore Canva</p><p>Let’s talk classroom visuals!</p><p>Whether you’re creating a science worksheet, classroom poster, vocabulary activity, or presentation, good design can help make information easier for students to understand.</p><p>But not every educator has time to become a graphic designer.</p><p>Canva’s AI-powered design features, including Magic Studio, can help educators generate ideas, draft content, and build visual materials.</p><p>Here are a few things you can create:</p><ul><li>Classroom posters and anchor charts</li><li>* Printable worksheets and activities</li><li>* Educational presentations</li><li>* Vocabulary flashcards</li><li>* Visual schedules and graphic organizers</li><li>* Classroom announcements</li></ul><p>Try this classroom design idea:</p><p>Create a colorful, kid-friendly poster explaining the water cycle for elementary school students.</p><p>Include four labeled stages: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Use simple descriptions, clear illustrations, large readable lettering, and a layout suitable for an 8.5 × 11-inch classroom printable.</p><p>You can use AI to help draft the content and generate design ideas, then review and arrange the final visual in Canva.</p><p>Remember to check every label, spelling, and scientific explanation before sharing it with students.</p><p>Why I love this use case: Classroom materials can be educational and visually engaging without requiring hours of formatting.</p><p>3. MagicSchool AI — AI Tools Designed Around Teacher Workflows</p><p>Explore MagicSchool AI</p><p>Unlike general-purpose AI chatbots, MagicSchool focuses specifically on education.</p><p>Its tools are designed to help teachers with everyday tasks like lesson planning, rubric creation, assessments, and instructional materials.</p><p>Teachers can explore features for:</p><ul><li>Creating structured lesson plans</li><li>* Developing rubrics and assessment questions</li><li>* Generating classroom worksheets</li><li>* Drafting instructional explanations</li><li>* Differentiating classroom activities</li><li>* Organizing teaching resources</li></ul><p>Here’s a practical example:</p><p>Imagine you’re teaching a fifth-grade science unit on ecosystems.</p><p>You could use MagicSchool’s lesson-planning tool to draft a standards-aligned lesson, then explore its rubric generator to create assessment criteria for a student ecosystem project.</p><p>Instead of building every resource from scratch, you have an initial structure to customize.</p><p>MagicSchool can also help educators brainstorm ways to support different learning needs. However, AI suggestions should never replace an educator’s professional judgment, a student’s established accommodations, or the formal IEP decision-making process.</p><p>Why I love this use case: The tools focus on tasks teachers already handle every day.</p><p>4. Diffit — Make Learning Materials More Accessible</p><p>Explore Diffit</p><p>Every classroom has students with different strengths, reading levels, and learning needs.</p><p>That’s one of the biggest challenges educators face.</p><p>How do you teach the same important concept while making it accessible to students who may need different levels of reading support?</p><p>Diffit can help educators create and adapt instructional materials without preparing every version completely from scratch.</p><p>You can use Diffit to:</p><ul><li>Adapt reading passages to different reading levels</li><li>* Generate vocabulary activities</li><li>* Create comprehension questions</li><li>* Develop student worksheets and graphic organizers</li><li>* Support multilingual learners</li><li>* Add scaffolds while maintaining shared learning goals</li></ul><p>Try this example:</p><p>You’re teaching students about the American Revolution.</p><p>You have an informational reading passage, but some students need additional reading support.</p><p>With Diffit, you can start with your source material, choose appropriate reading levels, and explore differentiated passages and activities.</p><p>Students can work toward the same essential understanding while accessing the content in different ways.</p><p>Be sure to compare the generated versions with the original material and verify that important concepts and historical facts remain accurate.</p><p>Why I love this use case: Differentiation matters, but educators shouldn’t have to recreate every learning resource from the beginning.</p><p>5. Canva AI Audio — Bring Lessons to Life With Sound</p><p>Explore Canva’s Audio Features</p><p>Here’s one that people sometimes overlook!</p><p>We often think about AI in education as writing and images, but audio can be another creative classroom resource.</p><p>Canva includes audio features such as music, sound effects, and AI-generated voiceovers.</p><p>Depending on your account and available features, you can use these tools to create narrated presentations, short educational videos, and audio-enhanced activities.</p><p>Think about the possibilities:</p><ul><li>Voiceovers for instructional presentations</li><li>* Narration for teacher-created videos</li><li>* Short audio directions for classroom activities</li><li>* Sound effects for educational games</li><li>* Background music for an original learning video</li><li>* Audio introductions to a new lesson or unit</li></ul><p>Try this classroom idea:</p><p>Create a short presentation about the planets in our solar system.</p><p>Write a brief, age-appropriate narration for each planet, add a spoken voiceover, and consider using gentle background music where it supports learning rather than distracting from the content.</p><p>Students now have a learning resource that combines text, visuals, and sound.</p><p>Always review pronunciations, captions, accessibility, and your school’s rules about audio and student-facing AI content.</p><p>Why I love this use case: A simple presentation can become a more engaging learning experience with a little creativity.</p><p>Note: Canva AI Audio is a feature within Canva, so this list covers five tools and features across four platforms. Some audio-generation features require a paid plan.</p><p>How to Start Using AI in Your Classroom This Week</p><p>Here’s my biggest piece of advice:</p><p>Don’t try to learn every AI tool at once.</p><p>Start with one task that takes up too much of your time.</p><p>Maybe it’s creating weekly lesson plans.</p><p>Maybe it’s making worksheets.</p><p>Or maybe you’re constantly trying to find new ways to engage students.</p><p>Here’s a simple workflow to experiment with:</p><p>Step 1: Use ChatGPT to brainstorm a lesson and its learning objectives.</p><p>Step 2: Use MagicSchool AI to develop a more structured lesson plan or rubric.</p><p>Step 3: Use Diffit to adapt the learning materials for different student needs.</p><p>Step 4: Use Canva Magic Studio to create classroom visuals or printable resources.</p><p>Step 5: Add Canva audio if narration or sound would genuinely improve the activity.</p><p>You don’t have to use all five every time. The goal is to find the combination that helps you work more efficiently.</p><p>One important reminder: never enter identifiable student records, private IEP information, health details, or other sensitive student data into an AI service unless your school has specifically approved that use. Follow district policies, review the outputs, and keep educators in control of instructional decisions.</p><p>Want to Learn More About AI in Education?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why teachers, parents, homeschoolers, creators, and AI beginners should be part of the conversation.</p><p><em>As a mom, digital creator, and lifelong learner, I’m interested in what happens when we use AI to support learning without losing the human touch.</em></p><p>I’m going to tell you something.</p><p>One of my favorite things about AI isn’t how fast it can write something or how realistic it can make a picture look.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*BGWTKqLDbKWgvkXNirKyug.png" /></figure><p>It’s what happens when you take an idea that once felt complicated and realize, “Wait a minute. I could actually create that!”</p><p>Not too long ago, I took artwork my kids created and experimented with turning it into an interactive game.</p><p>Think about that for a second.</p><p>Something that started with my children’s imagination became something they could play with!</p><p>AI didn’t replace their creativity. It helped me explore another way to bring that creativity to life.</p><p>And that got me thinking about something much bigger.</p><p><strong>What could AI make possible for teachers, parents, students, creators, and everyday people who have great ideas but don’t always have the time, tools, or technical skills to bring them to life?</strong></p><p>That’s why I’m looking forward to the <strong>AI Education Summit</strong>, happening October 22–24, 2026.</p><p>And yes, registration is completely FREE!</p><h3>AI in Education Is About More Than the Classroom</h3><p>When people hear the words “AI in education,” I think they sometimes imagine robots replacing teachers or students letting ChatGPT do all their homework.</p><p>But I think the conversation needs to go a lot deeper.</p><p>What about the teacher spending hours preparing classroom materials?</p><p>The parent whose child needs a little extra help with reading?</p><p>The homeschool family trying to create engaging activities?</p><p>The entrepreneur who wants to turn their knowledge into an educational product?</p><p>Or someone in their 40s or 50s who wants to learn new skills without feeling overwhelmed by technology?</p><p>Those are the conversations I want to have.</p><p>The summit brings together more than 40 experts from different industries, with sessions on teaching, leadership, creativity, responsible AI, business opportunities, and much more.</p><p>Here are five questions I’m bringing with me.</p><h3>1. Can AI Help Teachers Save Time Without Losing Their Personal Touch?</h3><p>I’ve always believed that great teaching is about more than handing someone information.</p><p>It’s about understanding how people learn, recognizing when they’re struggling, and knowing when to try something different.</p><p>I don’t think we should lose that.</p><p>But imagine being able to spend less time on repetitive preparation and more time connecting with students.</p><p>The summit includes sessions such as <strong>“From Teacher to AI-Powered Educator: Build Your First AI Helper”</strong> with Dr. María E. Meléndez-Tirado and <strong>“Give Teachers Back to Their Students: From One Idea to an Entire Learning Experience”</strong> with Karen Mamone.</p><p>I’m curious to see how these ideas work in practice.</p><p>Because if AI can support educators without replacing their expertise, that’s a conversation worth having.</p><h3>2. What Could AI Mean for Parents and Homeschool Families?</h3><p>As a mom, this one is personal.</p><p>Every child learns differently, and sometimes finding the right activity or explanation takes trial and error.</p><p>I’ve explored AI for learning materials and creative activities, and one of the things that interests me most is the possibility of making learning more personalized.</p><p>Not to replace parents, teachers, or books.</p><p>But to give us more ideas.</p><p>Maybe it’s a reading activity built around a child’s favorite animal.</p><p>Maybe it’s a different way to explain a math concept.</p><p>Or a hands-on project that makes a difficult topic easier to understand.</p><p>Miriam Yenga is presenting <strong>“The AI-Assisted Homeschool: Plan Smarter, Personalize Learning, and Stay Human.”</strong></p><p>That last part really stands out to me.</p><p><em>Stay human.</em></p><p>Because technology should support the relationship between children and the people teaching them, not take its place.</p><p>Of course, we still need to check AI-generated information, protect children’s privacy, and make sure activities are appropriate for their ages.</p><p>But there are possibilities worth exploring.</p><h3>3. Can One Simple Idea Become an Entire Collection of Learning Resources?</h3><p>Okay, digital creators, this one is for us!</p><p>Have you ever thought about creating your own worksheets, educational printables, flashcards, workbooks, or learning activities?</p><p>Maybe you’ve had the idea sitting in your notebook for months.</p><p>You know what you want to create, but designing everything feels like such a huge project.</p><p>What if AI could help with some of that preparation?</p><p>One of the sessions I’m especially interested in is Mesha Bazemore’s <strong>“From One Lesson to a Resource Suite: Using AI to Create Classroom-Ready Workbooks, Posters, and Learning Materials.”</strong></p><p>Now THAT caught my attention!</p><p>As someone who enjoys creating digital products, I love exploring how one idea can be developed into something useful for other people.</p><p>And for creators interested in selling educational resources, it’s worth learning about quality control, accessibility, copyright, licensing, and what customers actually need.</p><p>AI can help with creation, but useful products still require thoughtful human decisions.</p><h3>4. How Do We Teach People to Use AI Responsibly?</h3><p>Here’s something I think deserves more attention.</p><p>AI can sound very confident even when it’s wrong.</p><p>And that’s a big deal when we’re talking about learning.</p><p>We need to know how to question the answers, verify information, recognize bias, and protect sensitive information.</p><p>The summit includes discussions of AI literacy, teaching, leadership, and ethics.</p><p>One session that caught my eye is <strong>“Don’t Ban It. Teach It.”</strong> with Lee Ann Prather.</p><p>I think that’s an interesting starting point for a conversation.</p><p>What should students understand about AI before they rely on it?</p><p>How do educators decide when AI is useful and when it’s distracting?</p><p>And how can families introduce AI without making every learning experience dependent on a screen?</p><p>Those are questions I want to explore.</p><h3>5. What Opportunities Could AI Open Beyond Education?</h3><p>Here’s the part that excites me for everyone who isn’t a teacher.</p><p>Learning about AI isn’t only about classrooms.</p><p>It’s about learning new skills, solving problems, improving workflows, and discovering new ways to create.</p><p>For some people, that might mean creating their first digital product.</p><p>For others, it could mean improving how they work, learning a new skill, developing a business idea, or simply feeling more confident using new technology.</p><p>I especially want people who consider themselves complete beginners to know that they belong in these conversations too.</p><p>You don’t need to be a programmer.</p><p>You don’t need to know every AI tool.</p><p>And you definitely don’t need to have everything figured out.</p><p>You can start by being curious.</p><h3>Why I’m Sharing This Event</h3><p>If you’ve followed Mandy Everyday Chick for a while, you know I enjoy experimenting with new tools, figuring out what works, and sharing what I learn.</p><p>Sometimes that means creating a digital design.</p><p>Sometimes it means experimenting with something for my kids.</p><p>And sometimes it’s discovering an event that makes me stop and think about how much more there is to learn.</p><p>That’s what this summit represents for me.</p><p>An opportunity to hear different perspectives, discover practical ideas, and think about how AI can support the things we already care about.</p><p>And because the event is free, I wanted to make sure you knew about it too.</p><h3>Join Me at the AI Education Summit!</h3><p>Here are the details:</p><p><strong>Event:</strong> AI Education Summit 2026</p><p><strong>Dates:</strong> October 22–24, 2026</p><p><strong>Time:</strong> 10 AM–4 PM Eastern each day</p><p><strong>Location:</strong> Live online</p><p><strong>Registration:</strong> FREE</p><p><strong>Speakers:</strong> 40+ experts across multiple industries</p><p>Whether you’re a teacher, parent, homeschooler, entrepreneur, digital creator, business professional, or someone who is simply AI-curious, take a look at the agenda.</p><p>You might find a session that gives you a completely new perspective.</p><p><a href="https://aiandeducationsummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>Register FREE for the AI Education Summit here</strong></a></p><p>And I’d love to hear from you.</p><p><strong>What’s one thing you’d love to learn how to do with AI?</strong></p><p>Leave me a comment.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A practical next step for creators — and two other paths if your goal is agents or consulting</strong></p><p>By Mandy Rahim</p><p>I attended the AI Business Summit, and today I joined a follow-up training that made me think about how I want to help people who have been following along with me.</p><p>The most useful place to start is a question: what do you actually want to do with AI?</p><p>Maybe you want to create videos without setting up a camera every time. Maybe you want help with the repetitive work that follows you around all week. Or maybe you want to help other businesses figure out where AI fits.</p><p>Those goals point in different directions. Choosing a program gets easier when you name yours first.</p><p>The post-Summit enrollment deadline is Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. For my East Coast readers, that is Thursday, October 8, at 2:59 a.m. Eastern.</p><p>That gives you a window to look at the options thoughtfully. Here is how I would narrow them down.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4OFIZEvkmkIstPHCO49KTA.png" /></figure><p>Affiliate disclosure: I am an affiliate and may earn a commission if you purchase through a link I share, at no additional cost to you.</p><p><strong>The $297 Micro-Drama special is the offer to look at first if video is your goal</strong></p><p>The AI Micro-Drama Ad Creator Workshop is $297 until the cart closes. It returns to full price afterward. The special ends October 7 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific / October 8 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern.</p><p><a href="https://microdramaadsworkshop.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Review the workshop and get the $297 special</a>.</p><p>The live two-hour workshop is October 16, 2026, at 3 p.m. Eastern, and replay access is included. You are enrolling now for a later workshop; you do not have to finish the training before the sale ends.</p><p>The AI Micro-Drama Ad Creator Workshop focuses on story-led AI videos: content built around a situation, a reason to keep watching, and a clear next step.</p><p>This is the path I would look at if your main question is, “How do I make videos that give people a reason to pay attention?” It may also interest you if you want to explore faceless or character-led content.</p><p>Here is a small exercise you can try before deciding anything. Write three sentences:</p><p>• My audience is struggling with this specific problem.</p><p>• The moment that changes the story is this.</p><p>• The next action I want the viewer to take is this.</p><p>For example, a digital-product seller could build a story around someone searching through a pile of loose notes, finding a more organized approach, and seeing a planner demonstrated. That is a creative example, not a promise about what a video will earn or how many views it will receive.</p><p>If this is the skill you want to practice, leave VIDEO in the responses and tell me what you would like to promote.</p><p><strong>If your first goal is help with repetitive work</strong></p><p><a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/aiagentcoursepif?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Explore The AI Agents Course</a>.</p><p>The AI Agents Course is the path to review if you want to learn how to build and use AI agents for business or everyday tasks.</p><p>The training guide describes uses such as content, email, research, and customer support. Think about the work you repeat, then get specific about the help you need.</p><p>“I need an AI team” can feel huge. “I want help turning my weekly notes into a draft content plan” gives you a starting point.</p><p>Write down the input, the output, and what you would still need to check. In that example, your notes are the input, the content plan is the output, and you review the accuracy and voice before anything is published.</p><p>You can bring that same task to the program details and ask whether the training supports what you want to build. Leave AGENTS and name one repetitive task if you want help finding the relevant information.</p><p><strong>If your first goal is helping businesses use AI</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.becomeanaiconsultant.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Explore the AI Consultant Certification</a>.</p><p>The AI Consultant Certification focuses on helping businesses understand, plan, and implement AI. The follow-up guide describes areas such as discovery, AI audits, strategy, proposals, service packages, and training.</p><p>I am enrolled in Alicia Lyttle’s AI Consultant program, so this is a path I am studying myself. I am sharing that as a learner — not presenting enrollment as proof of expertise or a guarantee of clients.</p><p>If this direction interests you, start with a business problem you already understand. A useful question might be: “Where does this team spend time repeating work, and what would a better process need to do?”</p><p>Leave CONSULTING and tell me what kind of business you would like to help.</p><p><strong>Give your next step a place in your calendar</strong></p><p>Before enrolling, read the current offer page for the full price, payment terms, schedule, access details, software needs, and refund policy. Then ask yourself when you would actually use the training.</p><p>You do not need a perfect five-year plan. You do need a reason to choose this program now and a realistic first step after you join.</p><p>The deadline is approaching, but your decision should still make sense for your goal, time, and budget.</p><p>Tell me your path — VIDEO, AGENTS, or CONSULTING — and the one thing you want to accomplish. I can point you toward the program details and help you identify the questions to ask.</p><p>Ready to work on your video skills? <a href="https://microdramaadsworkshop.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Get the $297 Micro-Drama special before it ends</a>.</p><p>And if you are interested in AI but are not buying a program right now, you are still welcome here. Ask the question. Save the exercise. Try one small thing.</p><p>— Mandy Rahim, Mandy Everyday Chick</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c2f945354eca" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Seven highlights from the AI Business Summit with Alicia Lyttle — and why you’ll want to catch the replays if you missed it.</strong></p><p><em>By Mandy Rahim</em></p><p>Someone described calling his AI agent, asking it about his emails, and receiving information through WhatsApp.</p><p>Another conversation covered photographing a business card and using an agent to send a follow-up email and create a calendar invitation.</p><p>Then we got into AI advertising, storytelling, writing a book in your own voice — and a question for a guest from Meta that plenty of business owners have probably been wondering about.</p><p>That was Day 2 of the AI Business Summit with Alicia Lyttle.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FglSffvvamoc%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fshorts%2FglSffvvamoc%3Fsi%3DL9zQzrlDA3Wca1Q9&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FglSffvvamoc%2Fhq2.jpg&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/5bda79f2c8097e3818a3f7beae119d3d/href">https://medium.com/media/5bda79f2c8097e3818a3f7beae119d3d/href</a></iframe><p>If you’ve seen a few of the clips I’ve shared, you’ve only seen pieces of the day. I haven’t even posted all my highlights yet.</p><p>As someone balancing a full-time job, family, and building a business, I’m always listening for the practical part: <strong>Where could this actually help me?</strong></p><p>Day 2 gave me plenty to think about.</p><p>If you missed the summit, here are seven moments worth catching up on.</p><h3>1. “Let me call my AI agent.”</h3><p>During one conversation, Harold described calling his AI agent, asking about recent emails, and having information sent to WhatsApp.</p><p>Pause on that for a second.</p><p>Think about the times you’ve needed something from your inbox while you were already in the middle of doing something else.</p><p>That’s why this example caught my attention. It connected AI agents to a task most of us already understand.</p><p>The setup matters, of course. An agent needs the right connections and instructions to carry out a workflow like this. But hearing someone describe how they were using it made the possibility feel much more concrete.</p><p>My immediate question was: <strong>What would I want to ask my own agent to handle first?</strong></p><h3>2. That business card could become an actual next step</h3><p>You meet someone. You have a great conversation. You exchange information.</p><p>Then the business card goes into your bag.</p><p>And stays there.</p><p>During Day 2, Kathy and Alicia discussed a workflow that starts with photographing a business card and uses an agent to send an email and create a calendar invitation.</p><p>For anyone networking, growing a business, or meeting potential clients, that’s an example worth paying attention to.</p><p>Making a connection is only the beginning. Following up is how the conversation continues.</p><p>I kept thinking about how many good intentions get lost in the small administrative steps between “It was great meeting you” and “Let’s schedule something.”</p><p>This was one of those summit moments that made an everyday business task look different.</p><h3>3. The ad idea in your notes might not have to stay there</h3><p>Alicia also discussed the time, people, and coordination involved in traditional advertising production — and how AI is changing what creators can produce and test.</p><p>As someone who creates digital products and marketing content, this part had my attention.</p><p>Sometimes you have the idea. You can picture the scene. You know the feeling you want the viewer to have.</p><p>But turning that idea into a video can feel like an entirely separate project.</p><p>AI-assisted creation opens up more ways to explore those concepts.</p><p>That doesn’t mean every generated video becomes a great ad. You still have to make decisions about the message, the audience, and the story.</p><p>What excited me was the possibility of taking more ideas out of the “someday” folder and developing them into something you can actually evaluate.</p><p>If you’ve been curious about AI video but haven’t connected it to your own business yet, this session gave plenty of reasons to start making that connection.</p><h3>4. Your opening needs to give people a reason to stay</h3><p>One of my favorite content lessons from Day 2 was Alicia’s list of seven story hooks:</p><ul><li>Disruption</li><li>Recognition</li><li>Taboo</li><li>Status gap</li><li>Mystery</li><li>Immediate threat</li><li>Aspiration</li></ul><p>She then began explaining disruption and the curiosity it can create.</p><p>This is the kind of lesson I want beside me when I’m planning content.</p><p>Before choosing a visual or opening a video tool, I can ask:</p><p><strong>What would make someone stop and want to know what happens next?</strong></p><p>Maybe they recognize their own situation. Maybe the opening presents something unexpected. Maybe it introduces an outcome they want.</p><p>Having these categories gives you somewhere to start when “I need a better hook” feels too vague.</p><p>And that’s something I appreciated about Day 2: we got into the creative thinking behind the content, too.</p><h3>5. Make the problem the villain</h3><p>Too many AI tools. Too many tabs. Too many unfinished ideas.</p><p>If that sounds familiar, you’ll understand why the AI-overwhelm ad example stood out to me.</p><p>Alicia showed the ad, then broke down its villain, hero, transformation, and call to action.</p><p>Watching the example and then hearing the explanation helped connect the pieces.</p><p>The audience’s problem became something you could recognize in the story. The ad gave that problem a role, then showed a way forward.</p><p>For me, the useful question became:</p><p><strong>What is the problem my audience would immediately recognize — and how could I show it?</strong></p><p>For a busy business owner, it might be the pile of follow-ups. For a creator, it might be the idea that never gets finished.</p><p>That kind of thinking can help you move from listing features to telling a story people understand.</p><p>The original ad shown in the session included its invitation to the summit. I’m sharing it now as a Day 2 teaching example — and you can catch the session in the replays.</p><h3>6. Alicia asked a guest from Meta about AI-generated ads</h3><p>Here’s a question that deserves more than a headline:</p><p><strong>Does Meta penalize AI-generated ads?</strong></p><p>Alicia asked Nan from Meta during Day 2. Her response included: “There is no penalty that I have seen.”</p><p>I’m keeping that wording intact because the qualification matters. This was her answer in the summit conversation, rather than a blanket guarantee about every ad or situation.</p><p>The discussion also touched on creative variety, identity, framing, and hooks.</p><p>If you’re experimenting with AI advertising, this is a segment worth watching in context.</p><p>It was also one of those moments that made me glad I was following the summit: hearing a question you might have yourself become part of the conversation.</p><h3>7. Your story could become a book that still sounds like you</h3><p>Alicia also explained how she interviewed Tracy Lynn, listened to her voice and cadence, and used AI to help organize her life story.</p><p>What stood out to me was where the process began: with Tracy speaking.</p><p>Her experiences. Her way of expressing herself. Her story.</p><p>For someone who has thought, “I could write a book, but I don’t know where to begin,” that is an interesting starting point.</p><p>You may find it easier to tell your story in a conversation than to face a blank document.</p><p>The example showed a way AI could help bring structure to that material while keeping the person’s voice central to the process.</p><p>Of all the possibilities discussed that day, this one felt especially personal. So many people have stories and knowledge they’ve never quite figured out how to put on the page.</p><h3>These are seven highlights. There’s more behind each one.</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*A3uc4NM4MseDJ6vNSwYq7g.png" /></figure><p>A short clip can introduce an idea.</p><p>The longer session gives you the explanation, the surrounding conversation, and the details that don’t fit into a social post.</p><p>That’s why I wanted to gather these Day 2 moments in one place.</p><p>We went from AI agents and business follow-up to ad production, story hooks, a conversation with a guest from Meta, and a book built from someone’s own voice.</p><p>If even one of those made you think, “Wait — I want to understand that,” you have a reason to go back and watch.</p><p><strong>You can still grab the </strong><a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>AI Business Summit</strong></a><strong> replays for Days 1–4, available for a limited time.</strong></p><p>👉 <a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>Get the Days 1–4 replays here</strong></a></p><p>Pick the session that connects to something you want to do.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What I Learned on Day 1 of the AI Business Summit: AI Agents, Maximus, and a Whole New Way to Think About Work</h2><p>Day 1 completely changed the way I’m thinking about AI agents — and Day 2 starts TODAY at 12 PM ET.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/561/1*vPVtBr7T1ja0QQS7vtKsEw@2x.jpeg" /></figure><p>I went into Day 1 of the AI Business Summit excited to learn more about AI.</p><p>I came out of it thinking:</p><p>Wait…how much of the stuff I do every single day could actually have an AI agent helping me?</p><p>Because this wasn’t just another conversation about asking ChatGPT questions or generating a cute image.</p><p>We were talking about giving AI actual jobs.</p><p>Giving it instructions.</p><p>Giving it boundaries.</p><p>Having it perform recurring tasks.</p><p>Having it gather information before you even wake up.</p><p>And then Alicia Lyttle introduced us to Maximus — her AI Chief of Staff.</p><p>That was when things got REALLY interesting. 😂</p><p>Here are some of my biggest Day 1 highlights so far.</p><ol><li>Meet Maximus: Alicia’s AI Chief of Staff</li></ol><p>One of my favorite parts of Day 1 was meeting Maximus, Alicia’s AI Chief of Staff.</p><p>And I don’t just mean she showed us a chatbot on a screen.</p><p>We got to see Maximus in action.</p><p>There was even a live interaction that made the idea of an AI Chief of Staff feel a whole lot less theoretical.</p><p>That immediately got my wheels turning.</p><p>Imagine having an AI system whose job isn’t simply to answer random questions whenever you remember to ask one.</p><p>Instead, it understands its role.</p><p>It knows what information matters.</p><p>It helps organize work.</p><p>It can assist with recurring responsibilities.</p><p>It can prepare information for you.</p><p>It can help you think through what needs attention.</p><p>That’s a very different relationship with AI.</p><p>Instead of:</p><p>“What should I ask ChatGPT today?”</p><p>You’re beginning to think:</p><p>“What job could I give AI?”</p><p>That was a major shift for me.</p><p>2. Your AI Team Can Work Before You Wake Up</p><p>This was another moment that made me stop and think.</p><p>What if some of your recurring research, opportunity searches, content preparation or business information could already be waiting for you when you start your day?</p><p>Not because you woke up early and manually searched for it.</p><p>Because you gave an AI agent the responsibility of preparing it.</p><p>That could look like an agent gathering:</p><ul><li>industry developments</li><li>* business opportunities</li><li>* content ideas</li><li>* research</li><li>* information you routinely check</li><li>* items that may need your attention</li></ul><p>Then instead of beginning every morning at zero, you’re reviewing work that has already been prepared for you.</p><p>Your AI team can be working before you wake up.</p><p>That’s a wildly different way to think about productivity.</p><p>And importantly, it doesn’t mean AI replaces you.</p><p>You still review.</p><p>You still decide.</p><p>You still provide judgment.</p><p>But AI can potentially handle some of the gathering, organizing and first-pass work that takes up so much time.</p><p>3. We Built AI Agents Instead of Just Talking About Them</p><p>Another thing I loved about Day 1?</p><p>We weren’t only hearing about what agents could theoretically do someday.</p><p>We were actually thinking through agents with specific roles.</p><p>Instead of creating one giant AI assistant and expecting it to magically understand everything, you can define jobs.</p><p>For example:</p><p>One agent could focus on opportunities.</p><p>Another could focus on business intelligence.</p><p>Another could help prepare your workday.</p><p>Another could help with content or research.</p><p>You give each one:</p><p>A job.</p><p>Context.</p><p>Instructions.</p><p>Recurring responsibilities.</p><p>That’s when AI starts becoming less like a search box and more like a team of specialized assistants.</p><p>And if you’re a solopreneur, creator, consultant, small-business owner or just someone juggling a million responsibilities…</p><p>You can probably imagine why my brain immediately went:</p><p>Ohhhh. I can use this. 😂</p><p>4. Ask: “Can AI Do This for Me?”</p><p>This may have been one of the simplest lessons of Day 1, but it could also be one of the most useful.</p><p>Instead of trying to completely automate your life or business overnight, ask:</p><p>Can AI do this for me?</p><p>Think about something you do repeatedly.</p><p>Maybe it’s:</p><ul><li>researching something</li><li>* drafting emails</li><li>* brainstorming content</li><li>* organizing information</li><li>* answering similar questions</li><li>* summarizing material</li><li>* preparing a report</li><li>* collecting opportunities</li><li>* planning your week</li></ul><p>Pick one.</p><p>Then ask whether AI could help you perform that task faster or make part of the process easier.</p><p>You don’t have to start by building some giant AI empire.</p><p>Start with one repetitive task.</p><p>Figure out how AI can help.</p><p>Learn from it.</p><p>Then build.</p><p>I think this is especially important for people who feel overwhelmed by AI because they think they’re supposed to learn everything at once.</p><p>You’re not.</p><p>Find one useful job.</p><p>Start there.</p><p>5. Your AI Agent. Your Rules.</p><p>This was another important part of the conversation.</p><p>Giving an AI agent a job doesn’t mean saying:</p><p>“Okay AI, you’re in charge now. Good luck.” 😂</p><p>You define the rules.</p><p>You tell the agent what it should do.</p><p>You tell it what it should NOT do.</p><p>You decide where human approval is required.</p><p>You establish boundaries.</p><p>For example, an agent may be able to help you draft an email without automatically having permission to send the email.</p><p>Those are two very different things.</p><p>And that’s such an important distinction when we’re talking about AI agents.</p><p>You can define:</p><ul><li>what the agent is allowed to do</li><li>* what it should never do</li><li>* what information it needs</li><li>* what requires your review</li><li>* when it needs to stop and ask for a human decision</li></ul><p>Your AI agent. Your rules.</p><p>6. Your Instructions Don’t Have to Be Perfect the First Time</p><p>This one is especially important for beginners.</p><p>You don’t have to create the world’s most perfect AI agent prompt on your first attempt.</p><p>Give your agent instructions.</p><p>Try it.</p><p>See what it does.</p><p>Notice where the output isn’t quite right.</p><p>Then adjust the instructions.</p><p>Test again.</p><p>Improve again.</p><p>AI systems can become more useful as you get better at communicating what you expect from them.</p><p>It’s a process:</p><p>BUILD → TEST → ADJUST → IMPROVE</p><p>Not:</p><p>BUILD → IT MUST BE PERFECT FOREVER.</p><p>And honestly, I think more people need to hear that.</p><p>7. AI Gets Much More Interesting When It Has Context</p><p>Another theme running through Day 1 was context.</p><p>The more useful context you can appropriately give AI, the more relevant its help can become.</p><p>We saw a fun example of this during an activity where AI was used to come up with a personalized award.</p><p>Mine turned into an entire creative moment — including a personalized award and visual I could actually share.</p><p>But underneath the fun activity was a bigger lesson:</p><p>Context changes the output.</p><p>Generic input tends to create generic results.</p><p>Useful context can lead to much more relevant ideas.</p><p>Of course, context should still be shared thoughtfully — especially when you’re dealing with confidential, client, employee, financial or personal information.</p><p>But it reinforced something I’ve been learning again and again:</p><p>Prompting isn’t just about finding magic words.</p><p>It’s about helping AI understand the job, the situation and the desired result.</p><p>8. One AI Idea Can Become Multiple Useful Assets</p><p>That personalized award activity also demonstrated something else I love about AI.</p><p>One idea doesn’t have to stay one idea.</p><p>A concept can become:</p><p>an image → a social post → a story → a conversation → a marketing asset → another idea.</p><p>That doesn’t mean hitting a button and publishing everything AI generates.</p><p>It means using AI as part of your creative process.</p><p>You can take one useful idea and develop it into multiple formats while adding your own judgment, voice and experience.</p><p>For creators and small businesses especially, that can be incredibly powerful.</p><p>9. The Bigger Lesson: Stop Thinking Only in Prompts. Start Thinking in Systems.</p><p>This may be my biggest takeaway so far.</p><p>We’ve spent the last few years learning how to prompt AI.</p><p>And prompting still matters.</p><p>But agents introduce another question:</p><p>What system could I create around this?</p><p>Instead of repeatedly opening ChatGPT and typing:</p><p>“Can you research this for me?”</p><p>What if research were someone’s job?</p><p>Instead of repeatedly remembering:</p><p>“I need to look for opportunities today.”</p><p>What if an agent already had that responsibility?</p><p>Instead of recreating the same instructions over and over…</p><p>What if the role, rules and expected output were already established?</p><p>That’s where this starts getting REALLY interesting.</p><p>We’re moving from:</p><p>Ask AI something</p><p>to:</p><p>Give AI a role</p><p>to:</p><p>Create a repeatable workflow</p><p>to:</p><p>Build an AI-supported operating system around the work you already do.</p><p>That is the part I’m excited to keep exploring.</p><p>And That Was Only Day 1.</p><p>Seriously.</p><p>We covered so much that I’m STILL sharing highlight videos from yesterday.</p><p>And today we’re moving into Day 2.</p><p>🔥 Day 2 of the AI Business Summit starts TODAY at 12 PM Eastern.</p><p>And apparently we have even more coming.</p><p>Including someone from Meta joining us today. 👀</p><p>So if you’ve been seeing my Day 1 clips and thinking:</p><p>“Maybe I should check this thing out…”</p><p>Consider this your sign. 😂</p><p>GET IN THE ROOM.</p><p>You don’t have to already be an AI expert.</p><p>You don’t have to know how to build an agent.</p><p>You don’t have to understand every tool.</p><p>Come learn.</p><p>Take notes.</p><p>Ask questions.</p><p>Experiment.</p><p>And start looking at the work you already do through a different lens:</p><p>Could AI help me with this?</p><p>Because after Day 1, I have a feeling that’s a question I’m going to be asking A LOT more often.</p><p>🔥 AI Business Summit — Day 2</p><p>🗓️ Today — October 1, 2026</p><p>⏰ 12 PM ET</p><p>🎟️ Join us here: bit.ly/3N8cFTl</p><p>I’ll keep sharing my biggest takeaways as we go.</p><p>And if Day 1 was any indication…</p><p>Day 2 is going to give me a LOT more to talk about. 😂🔥</p><p>— Mandy Rahim</p><p>Mandy Everyday Chick</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=8aeb939c46f5" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One creative activity with Alicia Lyttle at the <a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">AI Business Summit</a> showed me how personal context can become an idea, an image, and a story.</p><p>By Mandy Rahim</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/512/1*R69io5kOIlITyzYnhNxAgQ@2x.jpeg" /></figure><p>An AI-generated image I created during a Day 1 learning activity — not a real award ceremony.</p><p>Yesterday, I shared an image of myself accepting an award on a glamorous stage.</p><p>The image was AI-generated. The award was part of a creative learning activity — not a real competition win.</p><p>But the experience behind it gave me something useful to think about.</p><p>During Day 1 of the<a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"> AI Business Summit</a>, my AI coach, Alicia Lyttle, introduced a personalized award exercise. The idea was to ask AI what award it would give you based on what it knows about you.</p><p>I tried it. Then I created an image of myself accepting the award and shared it on social media.</p><p>If you saw that post and wondered where the idea came from, the Day 1 highlight accompanying this article is the starting point.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FB4BEXDYulYY%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fshorts%2FB4BEXDYulYY%3Fis%3DzAcXkZsGrQkAi5_X&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FB4BEXDYulYY%2Fhq2.jpg&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/9c519695bfdc688c1e3c596107b16b11/href">https://medium.com/media/9c519695bfdc688c1e3c596107b16b11/href</a></iframe><p><strong>A playful question with a practical lesson</strong></p><pre>A playful question with a practical lesson</pre><p>At first, this sounds like a fun image activity. And it was.</p><p>But it also demonstrated how the context we give AI can shape what it creates.</p><p>A generic request might produce a generic award. A request that includes your work, interests, goals, and contributions gives the tool more specific material to work with.</p><p>That doesn’t make its answer an objective assessment of your achievements. It gives you a creative interpretation to consider, edit, or reject.</p><p>For me, that distinction matters. I can enjoy the result while still deciding whether it reflects who I am and what I do.</p><p>One idea became several pieces of content</p><p>The activity followed a process I could see myself using again:</p><ol><li>Start with relevant personal context.</li><li>2. Turn that context into a creative idea.</li><li>3. Develop the idea into a visual.</li><li>4. Share the result with an explanation.</li></ol><p>In this case, the idea became an award, the award became an image, and the image became a social post.</p><p>Now, the highlight lets me share the learning experience behind the finished result.</p><p>That’s useful for creators because our audiences often see the final image without seeing how we got there. Showing the process gives people a way to understand — and try — the idea themselves.</p><p>Try your own version</p><p>Here’s my simplified adaptation of the activity, not a verbatim copy of Alicia’s prompt:</p><p>“Based on the information I’ve shared about my work, interests, goals, and contributions, suggest a personalized, fictional award that would fit me. Give it a memorable name and explain why it fits. Use only details I’ve provided. If you don’t have enough context, ask me three short questions first.”</p><p>Read the result before turning it into an image.</p><p>Does it describe work you actually do? Does the explanation feel specific? Has it invented accomplishments or made assumptions you need to correct?</p><p>If your AI tool has little context about you, add a short introduction. Tell it what you do, who you help, and what you’re working toward.</p><p>You’re giving it material to create with.</p><p>Why this stayed with me</p><p>I balance a full-time role with creating content and building my business. I’m interested in AI ideas I can actually put into practice.</p><p>This exercise was approachable. It gave me a clear starting point and a finished result I could share.</p><p>It also reminded me that a useful content idea doesn’t always have to begin with a complicated production plan. Sometimes, it begins with a good question — and enough context to make the answer meaningful.</p><p>Day 1 went beyond this activity, too. We explored recurring AI agents, giving them defined responsibilities, and building AI support around human work.</p><p>Those ideas raised a bigger question for me: how can I use AI more intentionally in the things I already do?</p><p>Day 2 is today</p><p>Today is October 1, and I’m excited to continue with Day 2 of the AI Business Summit.</p><p>If you’ve been seeing my AI creations and wondering how to get started, this is an invitation to learn alongside me.</p><p>Bring one question. Think of one task you’d like help with. Look for one idea you can test.</p><p>The Summit is free to attend and virtual, running September 30 — October 2, 2026.</p><p>Join me at the <a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">AI Business Summit here</a>.</p><p>And if you try the award activity, I’d love to hear: what would your award be called?</p><p>Affiliate disclosure: I may earn a commission if you purchase through my link, at no additional cost to you.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The free virtual event begins September 30, and I’m going in with one goal: turn what I learn into something I can actually use.</em></p><p>AI is everywhere right now.</p><p>It’s in our social feeds.<br>It’s in our workplaces.<br>It’s helping people create content, build websites, launch products, automate repetitive tasks, brainstorm ideas, and run businesses faster than ever.</p><p>And yet, I know a lot of people still feel like they’re standing on the sidelines thinking:</p><p><strong>“I’ll figure AI out later.”</strong></p><p>Here’s the thing.</p><p><strong>Later just became tomorrow.</strong></p><p>The <a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick"><strong>AI Business Summit 2026</strong></a> starts <strong>September 30</strong> and runs through <strong>October 2</strong>, and if you’ve been looking for a reason to finally learn how to use AI in a more practical way, this could be a great place to start.</p><p>The event is live, virtual, and free to attend.</p><p>Want to attend the AI Business Summit with me? Registration is free. Save your seat here: <a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick</a></p><p>And yes, I’ll be there too.</p><h3>AI Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming</h3><p>One of the biggest things I’ve noticed is that people often think “learning AI” means they need to understand every tool, every feature, every new model, and every update.</p><p>You don’t.</p><p>You don’t need to become a programmer.</p><p>You don’t need to understand everything happening behind the scenes.</p><p>And you definitely don’t need to master 50 AI tools before you can benefit from any of them.</p><p>You can start small.</p><p>Maybe AI helps you write your next social media post.</p><p>Maybe it helps you organize an idea you’ve had sitting in your notes app for six months.</p><p>Maybe it helps you create a digital product.</p><p>Maybe you use it to research a business idea, build a workflow, create a presentation, write emails, improve your marketing, or automate something you’re tired of doing manually.</p><p>The important part isn’t knowing everything.</p><p>The important part is learning how to apply what you know.</p><h3>That’s What I’m Looking For at the Summit</h3><p>Whenever I attend an AI training now, I try not to ask:</p><p><strong>“What did I learn?”</strong></p><p>I ask:</p><p><strong>“What can I actually do with this?”</strong></p><p>That small shift changes everything.</p><p>During the AI Business Summit, I’m going to be thinking about things like:</p><ul><li>Can this help me create content faster?</li><li>Can I turn this idea into a digital product?</li><li>Can this improve something I already sell?</li><li>Can this become a service I offer clients?</li><li>Can I automate something I’m currently doing manually?</li><li>Can I use this to save time?</li><li>Can this help someone who is still intimidated by AI?</li></ul><p>Because collecting AI information without doing anything with it isn’t really the goal.</p><p><strong>Implementation is.</strong></p><h3>If You’re an Entrepreneur, Creator, or Side Hustler, Pay Attention</h3><p>I think this type of event can be especially useful if you’re a:</p><p>Creator.</p><p>Small-business owner.</p><p>Coach.</p><p>Consultant.</p><p>Digital-product seller.</p><p>Freelancer.</p><p>Service provider.</p><p>Educator.</p><p>Side hustler.</p><p>Or just someone thinking:</p><p><strong>“There has to be something I could be doing with AI…but I don’t know what yet.”</strong></p><p>That question alone is worth exploring.</p><p>AI is creating new ways to do work, package knowledge, create products, serve customers, market businesses, and build systems.</p><p>You don’t have to jump on every trend.</p><p>But understanding what’s possible puts you in a much better position to decide what actually makes sense for you.</p><h3>My Goal for These Three Days</h3><p>I am not trying to leave the Summit with 137 pages of notes that I never look at again. 😂</p><p>I want to leave with things I can actually use.</p><p>So as I attend the sessions, I’ll be paying attention to:</p><p><strong>What can I implement immediately?</strong></p><p><strong>What can I test in my own business?</strong></p><p><strong>What could become a new product or service?</strong></p><p><strong>What would be useful for other beginners to learn?</strong></p><p><strong>What can simplify something I’m already doing?</strong></p><p>And I’ll be sharing some of those takeaways along the way.</p><p>Because one of the things I love most about learning AI is taking something that sounds complicated and turning it into:</p><p><strong>“Ohhh. Okay. I can actually do that.”</strong></p><h3><a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">AI Business Summit </a>2026 Details</h3><p><strong>Dates:</strong> September 30–October 2, 2026</p><p><strong>Time:</strong> 12 PM EST</p><p><strong>Format:</strong> Live virtual event</p><p><strong>Cost:</strong> Free to attend</p><p>If you want to join me, you can save your free seat here:</p><p><a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Learn From Industry Leaders To Start or Scale A Business With AI</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7v3NWCSqLY_46yKqDLXWcw.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://aibusinesssummit.com/?fpr=mandyeverydaychick">Grab Your Seat</a></figcaption></figure><h3>One Last Thought</h3><p>You do not need to become an AI expert tomorrow.</p><p>You just need to start learning how these tools fit into <strong>your</strong> life, <strong>your</strong> work, and <strong>your</strong> goals.</p><p>One useful prompt.</p><p>One useful workflow.</p><p>One useful tool.</p><p>One useful idea.</p><p>That’s how it starts.</p><p>And if AI has been sitting on your <strong>“I’ll figure it out later”</strong> list for the last year…</p><p>well…</p><p><strong>tomorrow sounds like a pretty good day to start.</strong></p><p><strong>Disclosure:</strong> This article contains an affiliate link.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Mandy Rahim</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fGVgnzpaiFIh4wqlU6vMqw.png" /></figure><p>I love discovering what AI can do. I also know how easy it is to collect prompts, save videos, and test five new tools without finishing the task I sat down to do.</p><p>If that sounds familiar, try starting with a task instead of a tool.</p><p>Pick something you already do every week. For a creator, it might be turning one idea into a newsletter and several social posts. For a small business owner, it might be answering the same customer questions. For someone exploring a new service, it might be researching a customer problem and organizing the findings.</p><p>Then ask yourself:</p><p><strong>What goes in?</strong> Maybe it’s your notes, a product description, or an idea you recorded on your phone.</p><p><strong>What should come out?</strong> Be specific: a draft you can edit, a list of questions to answer, or a simple plan.</p><p><strong>What needs your judgment?</strong> AI can help organize and draft, but you decide what is accurate, useful, and true to your voice.</p><p><strong>Could you repeat the process?</strong> If you can use it again next week, you’re beginning to build a workflow rather than collecting another one-time trick.</p><p>That’s the approach I’m taking into the free virtual AI Business Summit on September 30–October 2. I’m interested in its sessions on content, business workflows, and AI assistants. My personal goal is to choose one idea, test it on a real project, and share the result.</p><p>If you’re attending too, try this before the first session: write down one repeated task, how long it takes you now, and what a better result would look like. When you hear an interesting strategy, you’ll have a way to decide whether it’s worth trying.</p><p>You can register here: <a href="https://bit.ly/3N8cFTl">https://bit.ly/3N8cFTl</a></p><p>I’ll share what I learn and how I put it to work through Mandy Everyday Chick.</p><p><em>Disclosure: This is my affiliate link.
