Creating AI Systems With Kesha Williams

What this episode covers

AI is everywhere, but how do you actually use it in a way that saves time and makes your work easier? When people ask me where to start with AI, my answer is almost always the same: don't try to learn everything. Start with one problem you want to solve. It feels like there's a new tool, update, or headline every day, making it easy to think you need to master it all. But the biggest wins often come from finding a few ways AI can eliminate repetitive tasks so you have more time to focus on the work that matters most. This week, I had the chance to sit down with AI expert and software engineer Kesha Williams to talk about moving beyond simple prompts and using AI to build systems that handle repetitive work. We cover everything from identifying tasks that are perfect for automation to creating guardrails that keep AI helpful, reliable, and human-centered. You'll learn: - Why AI systems are more valuable than one-off prompts - How to identify tasks you can automate today - Why human oversight is still essential when using AI - Examples of AI agents and workflows that save hours each week - The skills that will become even more important as AI continues to evolve Whether you're just getting started with AI or looking to take your workflows to the next level, this conversation is packed with ideas that will help you work more efficiently, without losing the human judgment and creativity that make your work uniquely yours.
