About howAIdo – Making AI Simple for Everyone

Welcome to howAIdo
AI is everywhere now. But if you’re not a coder or tech insider, it can feel intimidating, overhyped, and impossible to figure out on your own.
That’s where howAIdo comes in.
We’re here to show you that AI isn’t just for tech companies and computer scientists. It’s a practical tool you can learn to use today—whether you want to boost productivity, spark creativity, improve your learning, or just understand what everyone’s talking about.
This is a judgment-free zone. No jargon. No hype. Just real strategies and honest advice for everyday people who want to use AI smarter.
Our Mission: Making AI Simple
At howAIdo, we believe everyone should be able to use AI confidently, regardless of their technical background.
Making AI simple doesn’t mean oversimplifying or pretending it’s magic. It means:
- Breaking down complex tools into practical steps anyone can follow
- Testing everything ourselves so you don’t waste time on tools that don’t work
- Showing real-world examples instead of hypothetical scenarios
- Being honest about limitations and when AI isn’t the right solution
- Updating constantly because AI tools change fast, and your information should too
- Staying independent and only recommending tools we genuinely believe in
We’re not here to convince you that AI will solve all your problems. We’re here to help you figure out which problems AI can actually help with—and how to use it responsibly.
Our Story: How howAIdo Started
The howAIdo team came together because we all noticed the same problem: people were confused and frustrated by AI.
We’re five people with different expertise, and we kept having the same conversation. People we knew—smart, capable friends, colleagues, and students—were hearing incredible hype about ChatGPT, AI image generators, and automation tools. However, when they attempted to utilize these tools, they encountered obstacles. The tutorials were too technical. The tools seemed designed for programmers. And the marketing around AI felt dishonest.
So we decided to fix that.
Meet the Team
Alex Rivera is a creative technologist who helps people use AI as a brainstorming partner and content generation tool. Alex realized that people weren’t seeing AI as empowering—they were seeing it as replacing their creativity. That’s backwards. Alex’s focus: show people how AI amplifies human creativity, not diminishes it.
James Carter is a productivity coach obsessed with helping people save time and work smarter. When AI tools started emerging, James saw an opportunity to help people reclaim hours in their week. But there was a gap: people didn’t know how to actually integrate these tools into real work. That’s what James tackles—practical, actionable AI strategies for real people.
Nadia Chen brings expertise in AI ethics and digital safety. While others were rushing to use AI, Nadia was asking, “But is it safe? What about privacy? How do we use the technology responsibly?” We realized that “practical” and “safe” had to go together. Nadia makes sure we’re honest about AI’s risks, not just its benefits.
Rihab Ahmed is an educator and lifelong learner who uses AI to study and learn more effectively. Rihab understood that students and learners have unique needs—they require tools that help them understand, not just give them answers. That perspective shaped how we talk about learning with AI.
Abir Benali is a technology writer with a gift for making complex tools simple. When everyone else was using jargon, Abir asked, “But can a regular person actually understand this?” That voice influences our work—clear, jargon-free, and human.
Why We Started howAIdo
We wanted to create a place where someone without a technical background could come and learn:
- How to actually use AI tools (not just what they are)
- Which tools are worth your time (and which aren’t)
- How to think critically about AI’s risks and limitations
- How to use AI to amplify your skills without losing your humanity
- How to use AI safely and responsibly
That’s howAIdo. We combined our perspectives—creativity, productivity, ethics, learning, and clarity—to build something bigger than any of us could create alone.
We’re not here to convince you that AI will solve all your problems. We’re here to help you figure out which problems AI can actually help with and how to use it responsibly. And we do that together, bringing different expertise to every article and resource.

How We Approach Content Quality
Every article, guide, and resource on howAIdo follows a simple standard: It should be so clear and practical that you can use it immediately.
Here’s how we do that:
We Test Everything
Before recommending a tool, we use it ourselves. We follow our tutorials to make sure they actually work. We note which features are useful and which are confusing. This isn’t theoretical—it’s hands-on.
We Use Real Examples
You’ll see actual screenshots, real-world use cases, and honest results. No made-up scenarios. No theoretical BS.
We Update Regularly
AI tools change constantly. Features get added. Pricing shifts. Interfaces redesign. When something changes, we update our content to keep it accurate.
We Stay Skeptical
Not every AI tool is effective. Not every use case makes sense. We’re honest about when something doesn’t work, when a tool is overpriced, or when a simpler solution would be better.
We Respect Your Time
You’re busy. Every article is readable, with clear headings and short paragraphs. Important takeaways are highlighted. If there’s a 2-minute version and a 20-minute deep dive, we offer both.
How howAIdo Is Funded
I’m committed to keeping howAIdo free and valuable for everyone. Here’s how this works:
Free Content
Our core mission is education. All pillar guides, how-tos, and tutorials are free. No paywall. No membership required.
Newsletter
The howAIdo newsletter goes out regularly with the best tips, new articles, and practical strategies. It’s free to subscribe, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
Premium Resources
Some tools, templates, and prompt packs are premium (paid). These are created based on what readers ask for, and they help fund the site so we can continue creating free content.
Affiliate Links
When we recommend tools, some links may be affiliate links. This means if you click and buy, we might earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. We only link to tools we genuinely use and recommend. This doesn’t influence which tools we suggest; it just helps keep the lights on.
Sponsorships
In the future, howAIdo may feature sponsorships from companies whose products align with our values. These will always be clearly labeled and separated from editorial content.
The bottom line: We are transparent about how we make money, and we’ll never recommend something just because it’s lucrative. If a tool isn’t effective, you won’t see it here—no matter what.
