“If you think about your family relationships and the relationship with your kids or your partner, how can AI be helpful there?  When it comes to your health, being more fit, you want to lose weight, you want to learn new things, how can AI help you there?  So the book is really about learning more about AI, how to talk to AI more as a person.”

It is written in a style that makes the technology understandable with specifics to make it useful.  Well done.   The title again is Supercharge Your Life With AI.
