Promptly Speaking Everyday AI: Practical Wins from Work & Life
We talk a lot about what AI can do — but how often do we stop to ask how it thinks?
In this episode of Promptly Speaking, Sara and Dan build on insights from their conversation with Tiago Forte to explore how context-aware AI is reshaping the way we think, work, and create.
They break down the difference between deterministic and non-deterministic systems — and why that subtle distinction defines the future of intelligent tools. From winning competitive RFPs to solving frustrating real-life problems, they share how context-driven AI can turn data into insight and action.
💡 You’ll learn:
- What makes AI context-aware (and why that’s a big deal)
- How deterministic vs. non-deterministic systems shape decision-making
- Why grounding, context windows, and multimodal AI are revolutionizing human–machine interaction
- The growing tension between personalization and data privacy
- How to experiment with AI in ways that create real-world impact
🎯 Whether you’re curious about the tech itself or how to use it practically, this episode reveals how good data — combined with critical reasoning — can turn AI from a novelty into a true advantage.
