CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@kyleve I have to emphasize that while my brother is a brilliant creative he is highly non-technical. He himself says that he just doesn’t think systemically the way did in our “workshop”. Part of this was me hoping to teach a man to fish while we built this together for him, but this was noticeably different than the usual workshops I do. I still spend a lot of time teaching AI to non-technical people at the non-profit, and I feel confident we’re not there *yet* for adoption by *everyone*.

These are the kinds of things I get really excited about as AI products develop and become more widely accessible. We still have a long way to go when it comes to making AI easier to use — but at the same time something like this would have been functionally unimaginable 3 years ago.

It took us about an hour from start to finish, connecting Claude to his calendar and a Google Sheet, along with monthly payment statements from Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App. It took a bit of iterating because he uses notations like NS for No Show or OS for Out Sick, but by the end it all worked great.

Helped my very non-technical classical pianist brother tonight by setting up a system where he pastes a well-constructed prompt into Claude, and it turns the 12-16 hours/month of accounting work he does for his music school into 30 minutes.
