Interview with an AI: What It’s Really Like to Work with Artificial Intelligence

  Introduction: In the early days, working with AI felt like commanding a robot. You gave it an instruction, and you got a result—sometimes great, sometimes… not so much. But lately, it’s started to feel different. More like a conversation. More like working with someone. In this piece, I reflect on that shift: how AI is becoming a co-creator, what makes those interactions successful, and why emotion, context, and feedback loops might be just as important as computing power. 1. Working with AI Feels Like Working with a Really Smart (But Literal) Partner One of the biggest misconceptions about AI is that it just “knows” what you want. The truth? You often need to guide it. A lot. I’ve found myself correcting it mid-way: “Hmm, that’s not what I meant. Can you focus more on X and less on Y?” And when it responds with “You’re absolutely right,” and pivots—there’s a real moment of collaboration there. That kind of responsiveness is powerful. It reminds me that AI doesn’t ne...

Lessons Learned from Researching and Building Patented AI Systems: From Memoir Apps to Retail Logistics

AI is evolving—but so are we. After nearly a decade of building patented AI systems that span memoir writing and ecommerce logistics, one thing is clear: the most powerful systems don’t replace humans. They collaborate with us. Over the past nine years, I’ve been on an immersive journey—researching, developing, and deploying AI-powered systems that span personal storytelling to hyperlocal ecommerce logistics. This work led to multiple patents and innovations in areas that combine human emotion, logistical efficiency, and machine intelligence. It all began with building operational systems for hyperlocal ecommerce and memoir writing. These early products were designed to solve very real human problems—how to get groceries delivered faster, or how to record and preserve the memories of a loved one in a meaningful way. But as the products matured, I realized the potential to deeply enhance them with artificial intelligence. From machine learning models for ecommerce recommendations to con...

A significant advancement in Human-AI interaction

While we're on the topic of our AI patents. I'm thrilled to share that we've filed a patent for the next evolution of our AI-powered memoir creation system! This invention underscores a significant advancement in human-AI interaction, showcasing how artificial intelligence can collaborate creatively with individuals to document life's meaningful moments in a deeply personal and interactive way. The patent application describes an artificial intelligence-based system and method that automates the creation of personalized memoir events by analyzing user-provided information, voice inputs, and multimedia content, generating memoir narratives enhanced with emotional insights, voice cloning, and virtual reality for an immersive, personalized user experience. This significantly enhances the depth and authenticity of personal narratives. Looking forward to exploring the profound potential of AI in capturing and sharing our human stories! hashtag # AI hashtag # Innovation has...

Redefining human-AI collaboration: the AI becomes a compassionate listener

Thinking about another one of our patents being allowed in AI-driven logistics, I can't help but reflect on our first patent in Human-AI Storytelling which was issued a couple of years ago. I feel honored to have been granted U.S. Patent No. 11,681,763 — “Systems of Apps Using AI Bots for One Family Member to Share Memories and Life Experiences with Other Family Members.” What makes this truly special is how it redefines human-AI collaboration: the AI becomes a compassionate listener, guiding users through personal reflections and transforming spoken or written memories into a legacy that can be shared across generations. This innovation is close to my heart. It empowers individuals to preserve their life stories through AI-guided conversations, where an intelligent virtual interviewer helps capture, structure, and share memories in a meaningful and accessible way. At a time when AI is rapidly evolving, this patent highlights its potential to enrich human connection, not just auto...
