What you'll learn

Lead AI through a conversation, not a one line query

Give it direction and keep the back-and-forth going, instead of taking the first reply to a quick question.

Talk to your AI by voice

Speak for thirty seconds instead of typing, and give it far more context to work with. A true game changer!

Stop settling for the first answer

Keep leading and pushing back, so the second or third answer is the one you actually wanted.

Why this topic matters

Most people fire one line questions at AI and take whatever comes back. The fix is not a clever prompt, it's leading a real conversation: set your ground rules once, talk to it by voice and push past the first reply. For those of us over 50, this is where decades of steering people and meetings pay off. You already know how to lead a capable new colleague. Do that with AI and the answers change.

Brett Bouchard

Ex-Google Director, 20+ yrs in tech, Founder of AI Over 50

I spent more than 20 years in tech, including time at Google and multiple startups. When AI started changing everything, I began using it to augment my own solo practice, and I learned it the way a skeptic does, by testing it on real work. Hardly any of the AI advice out there is focused on experienced professionals who have spent decades building real judgment.

That gap is why I started AI Over 50, and I'm on a mission to help experienced folks thrive in this new AI era.

Everything I teach comes back to three beliefs I developed working with these tools:

  • Be the skeptic who uses AI.

  • Bet on your foundation.

  • Your experience is the edge.

If you have been curious about AI but unsure where to start, you are in the right place. Let's put your experience to work.
