Watch This Before You Waste Another Dollar on AI
Stop Chasing AI Agents. Master What Actually Works
I have been traveling nonstop lately, Florida last week and Vegas this week, but I keep getting the same question from people everywhere I go:
What is the best thing I should be doing right now if I am new to AI?
Here is the truth:
AI agents are not ready. They are hyped, but they are not delivering for everyday people. They are not reliable, not user friendly, and not giving you the efficiency you actually need. But here is the good news, you do not need AI agents. You do not need six different tools or custom setups.
All you need is to master a large language model, and make it work for you.
If you focused on nothing else for the year but learning how to use one of these tools deeply in your workflow, you would:
Save countless hours
Work smarter, not harder
Learn faster and pick up new skills
Gain a massive competitive advantage
And here is the kicker. Even if AI innovation stopped today, it would take humans years to fully master what is already possible with LLMs. That is how powerful they are right now.
So do not get caught up in the hype. Do not feel behind. You are right on time.
