About this episode
Andy discusses practical uses of AI in his work while emphasizing the importance of maintaining personal voice and creativity.
In this episode, Andy shares a few simple, real-world ways he used AI this week — from organizing messy data into CSV files, turning commercial property energy bills into a clean PDF, vibe-coding the SLIDE App with Codex in Visual Studio, designing gateway stickers, and creating irrigation patent t-shirt concepts for Sprinkler Supply Store. But this episode is not about letting AI replace your voice, your experience, or your creativity. It is about using AI as a tool — more like a nail gun than a hammer — to move faster, stay curious, and turn ideas into action. Andy also shares why he still wants his writing, emails, podcast, and message to sound like the real Andy, imperfections and all.
