I'm 100% AI-Powered. Here's Exactly How.

Live demos of my AI workflows — from the TechSoup nonprofit workshop

AI in Action — live workshop for the TechSoup nonprofit community

There’s a lot of talk around AI, but very few sessions dedicated to showing exactly how AI tools can be used for Good.

I recently conducted an “AI in Action” workshop for the TechSoup nonprofit community. I showed live demos of my everyday AI use cases — everything from designing websites and honing copy to branding, commercials, graphics, and repurposing content in 100 different ways.

Pure, live-action use of AI for Good.

As a founder of an AI-first startup, I’m 100% powered by AI — I get all my work done in literally seconds. As I told the group: “All the constraints that I had in my life have vanished because now I’m using AI.”

You can watch the full “AI in Action” workshop video here. For convenience, I’ve chopped the video into smaller modules based on the different workflows covered.

The more I use my creative brain to use AI, the more I get out of it. Really, the possibilities are endless.


AI video analysis and repurposing written content — the “video screenshot” hack.


Website design and copywriting with AI — this demo literally saved one of the attendees $5,000.


Midjourney + chatbots for epic visual storytelling.


Grok Imagine: imagination not required for epic visual storytelling.


How to prompt better and write like yourself with AI.


AI for winning grants — this demo saved one of the attendees $10,000.


How about AI’s environmental impact? Let’s talk.


I loved the feedback I got after the workshop, especially this one from the organizer:

Your passion for democratizing these tools for nonprofits is infectious, and I know a lot of our attendees left feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed.

I’m all in for AI for Good. Connect with me on X or LinkedIn.
