Hey there,

AI is showing up everywhere — inside your Gmail, your CRM, your browser, even your design tools. But here’s the catch:

They’re not all the same kind of AI.

That’s why it can feel confusing. Is ChatGPT the same as Copilot? Is Gemini a tool or a product? Why does one AI give you gold while another falls flat?

The truth is, there are a few different types of AI floating around out there — and once you know which one you’re using, the whole thing gets a lot simpler.

This week, we’re going to clear the air:

  • Wednesday: A plain-English breakdown of the 5 types of AI you’re already using

  • Friday: A tool you can copy and use to decide which AI to reach for in any situation

For now, just sit with this:

The Core Takeaway:
All AI is not built the same. Next time you use one, ask yourself: is it answering questions, helping you do something, or just watching what you do? That one shift in awareness can change everything.

Talk soon,
