👉AI terms you keep hearing (and what they actually mean)

💙Generative AI (GenAI) AI that creates new text, images, audio, video or computer code. ChatGPT drafting an email from your meeting notes is a familiar example.

🩵Large language model (LLM) The technology behind chat apps like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, letting them understand and generate language. GPT, Claude and Gemini are all model families. Confusingly, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are also the names of the apps you use to talk to those models.

💙Frontier model A model considered to be at the leading edge of AI capability at a given moment. GPT-6 Astra is currently described this way, thanks to its performance on complex research, coding and computer-based tasks.

🩵Agentic AI. AI built to act with some independence across several steps, rather than just answering one question at a time. Copilot Cowork and Claude Cowork are examples, since both can plan and carry out longer pieces of work using the tools available to them.

💙Model Context Protocol (MCP) An open standard that lets AI applications connect to your external information and tools. An approved MCP connection could let ChatGPT or Claude check your calendar, search your company files or query a database.

I was chatting to someone at a networking event recently. She told me she uses ChatGPT “all the time.”

So I asked her what she uses it for and she explained that she uses it for writing her social media posts, her emails, quick questions she’d have Googled before. It was all genuinely helpful stuff.

But when we talked about how she actually runs her business day to day, most of it still came down to her. Remembering to do it. Finding the time. Then asking AI to help once she’d already started.

I hear this constantly. People using AI every day, but only for one task at a time.

👉There’s a more useful starting point.

✨Pick something you already do again and again in your business. Following up enquiries. Prepping for client calls. Planning your week. Turning meeting notes into actions.

✨Then look at how you do it. What information it needs. What eats up your time. Where AI could take the first pass & where you need to stay in it.

Because handing everything over isn’t the goal. AI can do the legwork, but you still check it, correct it, and make the final call before anything important happens.

That’s when AI stops being a novelty and starts being useful. Less repetitive slog around a process, with you still firmly in charge of it.
Start with one process. Get that working well before you add a second one.

💙If you’re already using AI daily but still feel like the whole business runs through you, let’s have a proper look at it.

When you have ADHD, a task like “sort my finances” or “follow up my leads” can contain dozens of hidden decisions. That can make starting feel harder than actually doing the work.

This prompt gets AI to do some of that organising with you.

It helps you:

* Work out what actually matters before jumping into action.
* Shrink a vague task into something achievable in 30 minutes.
* Reduce decision overload by giving you a maximum of three steps.
* Start more easily because you’re given one specific first action.
* Avoid perfectionism and rabbit holes by identifying what to ignore for now.
* Know when you’re finished with a clear stopping point.

The aim is simple: less mental load and more useful business progress.

See comments for the prompt 👏

A lawyer with 30 years' experience used ChatGPT to research a case. He submitted a 10-page brief citing real-sounding rulings. Every single one was invented.

The judge fined him and referred him for disciplinary action. It made global news, back in 2023. Two years later, in May 2025, a UK judge flagged another set of lawyers to their regulator after five more fake cases turned up in a filing.

Same mistake. Two years apart. From people whose entire job is checking facts.

Here's what's actually happening. AI doesn't know facts, it knows patterns. It's trained to always give an answer, so instead of saying "I don't know," it will sometimes generate something that sounds completely plausible and is entirely wrong. Add training data pulled from the whole internet, blogs, forums and opinion pieces sitting next to properly researched sources, and you've got a tool that's confident and wrong more often than most people expect. For new users, that happens roughly 𝟭𝟱 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

This isn't a reason to avoid AI. It's a reason to use it with the same judgement you'd apply to any other source.

Three habits I teach people I work with:

1. Ask AI to rate its own confidence in what it just told you, 1 to 10.
2. Verify anything that matters against at least three independent sources before you act on it.
3. Keep a human in the loop for anything touching money, legal wording or a client's name.

None of this is about slowing you down. It's about making sure the judgement calls stay with people, and AI stays what it actually is: a very fast first draft, not a source of truth.

Where has AI already given your business a confidently wrong answer, and did anyone catch it before it went out the door?

🩵You don’t need to become an AI expert to use AI well in your business.🩵

You need to understand where it can genuinely make your work easier, where it can save you time, and where your own judgement still matters.

That’s why my training is practical. We work with your actual business, your actual tasks and the things taking up your time. You use AI while you’re learning, rather than sitting through another presentation about what it could theoretically do.

My aim is for you to leave thinking, “I know what I can use this for now, and I feel confident doing it.”

And I’ll always be clear about where AI gets things wrong, where you need to be careful, and when a human needs to stay firmly in charge.

I’m running some in person “AI for small business owners” workshops this Autumn.

Drop a 💙 in the comments, if you’d like me to put you on the early interest list.
No pressure. You’ll get the info first and can decide if it’s right for you 🤩🩵❤️
