From Googling to Getting Answers

Googling is like opening a massive library – you get dozens of links, but you still have to read, understand, and piece together the information yourself. AI works more like a personal researcher: you ask a question and get a complete answer, often already summarized and tailored to your situation.

That means you can:

• Ask for both facts and analysis in one go.

• Avoid hopping between 15 tabs.

• Get help understanding context and spotting patterns.

Example: Instead of Googling “Göteborgs Kulturkalas 2025 program” and reading through several different sites, you could ask AI:

“Fetch the program for Göteborgs Kulturkalas 2025 and summarize the highlights for a visitor who is only in the city for one day.”

AI as an Idea and Concept Engine

For creative people, AI is like a constant brainstorming partner. You can start with a vague thought and let AI develop it into something concrete.

Examples:

• You have the idea “An interactive exhibition about nature and mythology for children”. AI can help you develop the concept into a full project proposal with target audience analysis, budget suggestions, and visual examples.

• You want to organize an event in your hometown. AI can suggest themes, program ideas, and potential collaborators.

The value is that you avoid starting from scratch and can quickly see if an idea is worth pursuing.

AI as a Text and Communication Partner

For anyone who writes a lot, AI is an enormous support. It’s not about letting AI “take over” the writing, but using it as a text partner.

Use cases:

• Drafting articles, blog posts, or social media content.

• Refining and making texts more engaging.

• Creating different versions of the same text – e.g., a long article and a short LinkedIn post.

• Translating into other languages with the correct tone and industry-specific terminology.

Example: You can feed in a draft and say:

“Keep the content but rewrite the text in a more personal, storytelling tone for LinkedIn.”

AI for Research and Fact-Checking

It’s easy to spend hours researching. AI can drastically reduce that time.
By using real-time search you can:

• Get the latest data from reliable sources.

• Ask AI to compare multiple sources and explain the differences.

• Get pros and cons listed clearly.

Example:

“Fetch the latest tourism figures for Sweden 2024 and give me three trends affecting small business owners.”

AI in Project and Event Planning

In event production, details make the difference. AI can act as a digital production assistant.

Tasks AI can handle:

• Create detailed checklists for events, including tech, staff, and logistics.

• Suggest timelines with deadlines and milestones.

• Generate templates for budgets and resource allocation.

• Find suppliers or references for specific needs (e.g., stage builders or 3D artists).

AI in Creative Visual Production

Even if you’re not a graphic designer, AI can help you visualize ideas.
With today’s AI tools, you can create:

• Graphic mockups of a product or installation.

• Color palettes and logos to match your brand.

• Storyboards for video, presentation, or exhibition.

Example: Describe a restaurant installation concept and get images showing how it might look in reality – ready to present to investors.

AI for Personal Development and Learning

AI is not just a work tool – it can also be a personal coach.

• Create training plans for long hikes or mountain climbs.

• Learn languages faster through dialogue exercises and word lists.

• Get book or article summaries that would otherwise take hours to read.

Example:

“Create a four-week training plan to prepare me for climbing Kebnekaise, focusing on endurance and balance.”

AI for Meeting Preparation

Before important meetings, AI can help you:

• Create bullet lists of your key points.

• Simulate questions and objections from the other party.

• Create short, visual presentations.

From Stress to Control

The feeling that AI is leaving us behind often comes from trying to grasp all the features at once.
But you don’t have to master everything. Just choose what’s relevant to your life and work.

A good starting point:

• Idea development – use AI to sharpen your projects.

• Content creation – save time producing text.

• Research – get facts quickly and reliably.

AI as an Extension of Your Workflow

Think of AI as a brain extension – not a replacement for your skills.
You control what AI does, and you set the quality. AI gives you speed, inspiration, and structure, but you provide the direction, values, and final decisions.

In everyday life, that means:

• More time for the creative parts of your work.

• Less time on repetitive or slow tasks.

• The ability to move from idea to prototype quickly.

Summary

AI in everyday life is not about becoming a tech expert or programmer. It’s about using a tool that:

• Makes your ideas clearer and faster to execute.

• Frees time from time-consuming tasks.

• Gives you access to real-time information and inspiration.

• Can be fully adapted to your style and workflow.

Start small, with just a few use cases, and let AI grow naturally into your daily life – until it feels as natural as your phone.

And when the next version arrives? You won’t feel left behind. Instead, you’ll ask: What can this one do for me – and how do I use it best?
