I used AI to build a PowerPoint presentation in under an hour.

Yesterday I taught an online class on desert container gardening — my 30-year business turned side hustle. Summers here are brutal 🥵, but the Botanical Gardens keeps asking me to teach through the heat.

The problem? My topic list was getting stale.

So I turned to Claude. Within a single conversation, I had three fresh class ideas — and Claude built the backbone of the slides for one of them.

Now I’m back in Echo Canyon with Raven, Riley, Quinn, Skylar, and Val, right where I want to be.

That’s the real win. AI handled the task so I could return to the work that matters most.
