This still still kind of blows my mind.
With AI, we now have access to any expert we want, on call whenever we want.
Want to talk to a world-class copywriter? A therapist? A business strategist? A niche automation engineer?
You can.
If you can describe what you need, you can guide the AI to be that expert and actually help you move forward.
Example:
I’ve been trying to build a workflow inside n8n (a no-code automation tool).
I started by doing what I usually do: YouTube tutorials and Google searches.
It helped... kind of.
But I still couldn’t figure out exactly how to get the result I wanted.
So I went to Perplexity Pro, explained my setup, and told it what I was trying to do.
After a few clarifying prompts, it gave me step-by-step instructions to do exactly what I needed.
No scrolling through search results or watching one YT video after another.
Just a direct answer.
Another example:
I decided to switch my personal note-taking system from Notion to Obsidian to take advantage of how you can connect your ideas in Obsidian.
But again, I had some very specific questions about the best way to structure my vault? What plugins should I use? And how to build a workflow that works for the way I want to work.
So I asked Gemini. Then I asked Perplexity.
Each gave me different perspectives.
I pulled the best ideas from both, and now I’ve got a clear idea for how to personalize my setup that I never would’ve figured out just from watching more videos or reading more blog posts.
The point is this:
We’ve all built up habits around how we find answers: YouTube, Google, blog posts, tutorials, forms.
There’s still value there.
But don’t forget: You’ve got a new tool now.
You can talk to the internet.
You can ask specific questions.
You can get step-by-step help, instantly.
You just have to remember to ask.
