You don’t need a supercomputer.
You don’t need a team of PhDs.
You don’t need venture capital.
You don’t need to watch a 100 YouTube videos.
You just need to start.
There is no perfect system, no perfect prompt.
There is no perfect workflow, no secret technique.
The best AI system isn’t the most sophisticated one.
It’s the one you’ll actually use.
Here’s what minimum viable AI looks like:
One problem.
One tool.
One hour a day.
That’s it.
Maybe it’s using ChatGPT to draft your emails.
Or Midjourney to sketch your ideas.
Or Ideogram to create social media posts.
Or Claude to debug your code.
The point isn’t to revolutionize your entire workflow overnight.
It’s to find the smallest possible way AI can make you better at what you already do.
Because here’s the secret: AI compounds.
Each small win teaches you something.
Each lesson builds on the last.
Each success gives you permission to try something new.
The experts are waiting for AGI.
The consultants are selling digital transformation.
But you? You can start now.
Find one task.
The smaller, the better.
The more routine, the better.
That’s your minimum viable AI.
It won’t win awards.
It won’t make headlines.
But it will work.
And working beats perfect every time.
