Opening word
- Generative AI can do a lot of things, generate text, images, videos, from nonsense to programming in SQL or python, your creativity is the only limitation
- I am getting 80%: a design that I can modify to my liking and supervision is necessary
- If you can use one tool, you can use them all.
- the basis is correct input of prompts (calls/instructions to AI tools), instructions can be found here
- the only certainty is constant uncertainty (tools, their appearance, capabilities and performance are constantly evolving)
- you generally have three options:
- AI tools work with files, see and hear
The list of scenarios below is a collection of ideas and inspiration for how AI can make your everyday life easier, whether at home or at work. We all have different needs, different habits, and different work and life styles. Some things may be super practical for you, while others you may not use at all. AI is not about doing everything „right,“ but about finding scenarios where it can really help you and save you time.
Take the materials below as inspiration, not as dogma. Try what works for you, and feel free to ignore the rest. Above all, use AI with common sense, critical thinking, and a healthy amount of control. Never put sensitive or corporate data into free AI tools. And remember, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. This doesn't just apply to AI.

What to watch out for
- AI is not suitable for fact-checking
- Paid vs. free version
- Hallucinations and making things up: Tools make mistakes and need to be supervised
- Limitations and outages
- Data protection and learning during conversations
- Sourcing
- Possibility of outdated and out-of-date data (varies from tool to tool)
- Never put anything sensitive that would normally be subject to an NDA/GDPR into public (those not paid by your company) tools
Ten Commandments: TOP 10 scenarios for using AI in private life
1. Take a picture of the problem and have it explained.

Change the background behind those two people with white curtains. With me hugging my younger self.
