If you work in tech — or know someone who does — you’ve probably heard the question dozens of times by now: is AI going to replace software engineers? The honest answer is: it’s already changing the job. Whether that means replacing it or just reshaping it depends on which data you look at, which part of the job you’re talking about, and what happens in the next few years. ...
Most people use ChatGPT for emails exactly wrong. They type “write me an email” and get something generic that sounds like it was written by a committee. Then they give up and write it themselves. The problem isn’t ChatGPT — it’s the prompt. Give it better instructions and you get back something you’d actually send. Here are 15 prompts built for real situations, including the ones most people avoid because they’re awkward or high-stakes. ...
Small business owners wear every hat. Marketing, customer service, bookkeeping, HR, operations — most of it falls on one or two people who are already working full time just keeping things running. AI won’t replace that workload. But the right tools can compress it significantly. Here are 10 that are actually worth your time — not theoretical AI futures, but tools people are using right now. 1.

How to Use AI for Job Interview Prep (With Practice Questions)" Most people prepare for job interviews by reviewing their resume and hoping for the best. That’s not preparation — that’s showing up. Real interview prep means practicing out loud, getting feedback on your answers, and knowing what to expect for the specific role and company you’re targeting. It used to require a career coach or a very patient friend. Now you can do most of it with AI. ...
Can AI Write a Business Plan? We Tested It A business plan is one of those documents that everyone says you need, nobody loves writing, and most people procrastinate on for months. So we decided to test whether AI can actually write one — not just produce a generic outline, but deliver something substantive that a real founder could actually use.

ChatGPT for Teachers: Save 5+ Hours Per Week on Lesson Planning Teachers spend an average of 10–12 hours per week on planning, prep, and administrative tasks outside of classroom hours. That’s time taken from grading, rest, family, or actually developing better instruction. ChatGPT won’t do your job for you.
