AI isn’t a monster. It’s a toolbox.
Let's look at AI one tool at a time.

AI isn’t tomorrow. It’s NOW.
And we’re here to help you get up to speed one tool at a time.
AI is big.
Too big, maybe.
Big enough to feel like a threat. Big enough to make smart people freeze.
But here’s the thing:
AI isn’t one thing.
It’s not Skynet.
It’s not a revolution you’re already behind on.
It’s just… tools.
Like a pencil. Or a spreadsheet. Or duct tape.
When you zoom out, it’s overwhelming.
When you zoom in, it’s obvious.
One tool that listens to your meetings and remembers everything.
One that turns your messy thoughts into clear ideas.
One that makes diagrams, edits writing, checks your assumptions.
One tool at a time.
Useful. Helpful. Quietly powerful.
In this week’s episode of The People MBA, we walk through eight AI tools that make work better—without making your head explode.
There’s also a bonus: a curated list of 50+ AI tools for people who want to do more with less drama.
You don’t have to become a technologist.
You just have to get curious.
