Five frameworks tested and refined through real startup experience.
In 2019 in Bogotá, I ran my first AI-focused startup bootcamp.
This was pre-ChatGPT, so when participants first saw an AI generate completely original sentences on screen, they were speechless. The same way I was when I first encountered generative AI.
That early experience taught me something: while everyone else is still debating what AI means in theory, the real opportunity is in the practical details—the specific ways to actually use these tools to get ahead.
Even if AI development hits a wall tomorrow, most people are still operating at a basic level. That gap is your advantage.
This guide steers away from philosophical takes on AI’s future. Rather, it focuses on concrete strategies I’ve tested and refined on how to use AI to move the needle in work and life, from winning a $50k consulting gig to avoiding getting ripped off by a mechanic.
I hope it is equally helpful to you.
