About this cheat sheet

AI moved from "interesting toy" to "actually useful, every day" faster than anything in our lifetimes. Most of us learned about it in passing — through headlines, work memos, or a kid showing us a chatbot. There's a real gap between knowing AI exists and using it in a way that makes daily life lighter.

This site is here to close that gap, for our family.

How it grows

The cheat sheets here aren't carved in stone. You submit real situations, we vote on which ones are most useful, and the site updates from those. A small AI-assisted weekly summary drafts new sections from the questions and feedback — but a real human reads everything before it gets published.

Two principles

• Warm, not technical. If you needed a CS degree, you'd have gotten one.
• Honest about what AI can't do. Confident wrong answers are dangerous. We'll always tell you when to double-check.
