What Is AI, Really? A Simple Guide for Coaches & Consultants

Have you been hearing a lot about AI lately and thinking… “What IS this AI thing?”

You’re not alone!

AI (short for artificial intelligence) is everywhere right now, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a tech expert to understand it or use it.

What Is AI?

AI is just a computer program that can think or learn in some way. It’s designed to do tasks that normally need human smarts, like understanding language, making decisions, or solving problems.

Examples you probably already know:

✅ Siri or Alexa answering your questions

✅ Netflix suggesting shows you might like

✅ Google Maps finding the fastest route

See? You’re already using AI in everyday life!

Why Should Coaches & Consultants Care?

AI can be your secret helper in business.

Instead of spending hours doing everything yourself, AI can:

  • Help you write content (like blogs, emails, or social media posts)
  • Organize ideas (brainstorm new offers, courses, or programs)
  • Save time on research or summaries

It’s like having an extra brain or assistant without paying for extra staff.

How Do You Start?

Here’s the best part: you can start small.

Pick one tool, like ChatGPT (an easy-to-use AI chat program).
Ask it simple things, like:

  • “Give me 10 blog title ideas for mindset coaching.”
  • “Summarize this article for me in 5 bullet points.”
  • “Help me write a social media post about confidence.”

You type in a prompt, and it gives you back an answer. That’s it!

AI doesn’t have to be scary or complicated.

Think of it like learning a new kitchen tool. At first, you fumble a bit, but once you get the hang of it, you wonder how you ever lived without it!

So, if you’re a coach or consultant wondering if AI can help you, the answer is yes.
Start simple. Play around. Ask questions.

You’ll be amazed at how much time and brainpower you can save.
