In their words

I work at a Calgary tech company by day and I help my mom''s friends with their phones by night. That's how this started.

The thing nobody told me about AI is that the actual hard part is not "how does it work" — it's "what should I do with it." Everyone over 50 in my life has the same question: I keep hearing about ChatGPT, should I be using it, and how? And then they Google it and get drowned by 22-year-olds yelling about prompts on TikTok.

I'm here for a different conversation. 30 minutes, video call, you tell me what you actually do in your week — write emails, organize photos, plan trips, look up health questions, talk to your grandkids. I'll show you the two or three AI tools that fit YOUR life, with your phone in your hand, going step by step. Plus the scams to watch for, because AI voice cloning is real and aimed straight at your demographic.

I don't talk down. My grandparents are still here. I get it.
