Hey Everyone,
Welcome back to another episode of Beer with Kyle Fridays. I missed last week as I was up skiing with the family, but we are back at it.
Today, I want to talk about something that goes way beyond just business tools…AI, how you are using it, and what it is actually doing to your day-to-day life.
This Is Bigger Than Business
We talk a lot about AI inside the platform, but the reality is, it is not just about building a business anymore.
It is changing how you think, how you work, and how fast you move.
For me, it feels like I have gone from working at one speed to something completely different. Not because I am putting in more hours, but because I am removing a lot of the friction in my day.
Things that used to take:
- an hour
- half a day
- sometimes longer
…can now be done in minutes.
That adds up quickly.
There Is a Gap Forming
One thing I am noticing more and more is that there is a growing gap between people using AI and people who are not.
Some are still doing everything manually. Writing from scratch, researching the long way, organizing everything themselves.
Others are leaning into AI and using it as an assistant for almost everything they do.
That second group is:
- faster
- more productive
- more capable
And that gap is only going to get wider.
The Tools Are Evolving Fast
There are a lot of platforms out there right now.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok…they are all improving quickly, and honestly, they are all competing hard with each other.

One week one feels better, the next week another one takes the lead.
Personally, I find myself using multiple depending on what I am doing. Lately, I have been leaning more toward Claude for certain types of work, but I still use others regularly as well.
There is no perfect one. The advantage comes from actually using them.
How I Approach AI
I do not treat AI like some separate tool I occasionally use.
I treat it like an extension of how I think.
If I have:
- an idea
- a question
- a problem
…I go to AI first.
Instead of spending time trying to figure everything out myself, I get a starting point instantly. Then I refine it, adjust it, and build on top of it.
That alone saves a huge amount of time.
Where Most People Are Missing Out
The biggest opportunity is not just using AI once in a while.
It is using it in the places where you are still doing things the slow way.
Think about your day.
Where are you spending time on things like:
- writing emails
- organizing tasks
- researching topics
- figuring out how to do something
Those are the exact areas where AI can step in and speed things up.
Even cutting something from 60 minutes down to 10 minutes changes your entire workflow.
The “Super Version” of You
When you start using AI consistently, something interesting happens.
You are not just getting things done faster, you are actually becoming more capable.
You start:
- learning quicker
- solving bigger problems
- taking on more without feeling overwhelmed
It really does feel like an upgraded version of yourself.
And that is where the real value is.
I want to hear from you on this.
What are you actually doing with AI right now?
- Which platforms are you using?
- What are you using them for?
- Where are you still stuck or unsure?
Also, what would you like to get better at?
Because that is where we can help, not just with tools, but with real-world ways to use this in your day. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
