Sorry Microsoft, but I have to give you this…
Many years ago, I heard a joke. It goes like this. A helicopter pilot with three passengers is flying around near Stockholm. It’s foggy, and he can’t see a thing — but he needs to find an airport where he can land this damn chopper. He spots a very tall building, and on the top floor, a man is sitting at a desk with the window open. As all chopper pilots obviously do, he has a megaphone in the cockpit...

AI helps me create an AI schedule builder agent for Directions EMEA
Yesterday, the session schedule was published for the Directions EMEA 2025 conference in Poznan. Personally, I always find it hard to decide on which sessions to go to – specifically to find the sessions that I find interesting from the 200+ sessions running on a conference like this. So… – why not ask AI to help us build a custom GPT, which can help us build a schedule. I am hosting a conference, with more than 200 sessions running in...

AI Designs your morning routine
Introduction Getting the right rhythm from the morning can be challenging to say the least. For many, the snooze button becomes a daily habit that disrupts the rest of the morning schedule. Personally I try to keep my mornings empty, so I can focus on what’s to come, but it often ends up being unproductive. With this in mind, I decided that it would be fun to see whether ChatGPT had any good ideas and started prompting away. The Prompt...

AI helps me create a code signing certificate
On June 1st, 2023, the CA/Browser Forum’s Baseline Requirements for Code Signing changed. Certificate Authorities could no longer issue software-based OV code signing certificates in exportable formats such as .pfx. Instead, all new certificates must have their private keys stored in secure hardware (e.g., USB token, HSM, or cloud HSM), meaning you can no longer just protect a .pfx with a password and use it for signing. This caused quite some turmoil for partners and I remember getting questions from...

AI helps with gift search
Introduction Finding the right gift can be mind-boggling, and honestly, rather stressful. Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas or other. And more often than not, a generic chocolate or note doesn’t quite swing it. Even worse, if you forget it, and find yourself looking for a gift 2 days before the party. It’s obviously too late to call and ask for a list, so what can you do? This is where AI can help you. Often it’s hard for us...

Playlists with AI
Introduction Music is something we all enjoy. Whether it is at home, on the workplace or on the go, we all listen to music. I often times find myself in the struggle, what should I listen to next? I’ve heard the same playlist on repeat around 50 times, and I’m ready for a new artist to try – Spotify has this option. They call them “Daily Mix” or “Chill Mix” or something 3rd that explains the songs. While this is...

Using AI to generate images for this blog
From day 1, Jonas and I decided that the content of this blog should be authentic. The text should be written by us, not by AI. But… – we also decided that the images for each blog post should be generated by AI and our dog (Akela, a 7 year old Shiba) should be the “model” for these images. I am always using ChatGPT and the prompt used to generate the image for this blog post is: Create an image...

Using AI as your travel guide
In 2024 our summer vacation destination was Japan. As many times before, my vacation plans start by booking the flight tickets back and forth and then fill in the details later. Getting closer to travel – I asked ChatGPT the very simpel question: Please create a high level itinerary for a 2 week vacation in Japan. We fly into Tokyo and back from Tokyo. The response was the following: Day 1–3: Tokyo Arrive Tokyo, settle in. Explore neighborhoods: Shinjuku, Shibuya,...

Weekend Planning with an AI
Introduction Weekends are supposed to rechange us, and get us ready for the next Monday – but in the busy day-to-day life we often fall short on planning the big trips for the weekend. Errands, social plans and other things become priorities, and the trip that we truly wish for, doesn’t become a reality. Whether you’re planning something solo, or for the whole family calendar, AI can turn the “We should do something this weekend” into a cut in stone,...

AI as your Interior Designer
Introduction Many of us love the idea of a perfectly styled home, but making it happen is another story. The measurements, mood boards, and idea’s that never end up being as you intended. Wouldn’t it make the whole experience easier, if you had a personal assistant, that was able to assist with most? Think broad. Think price estimates, sketch ideas, search engine & a built in filter. Example AI prompt 1 – Lets take a very possible example, we need...

AI as your personal chef
In line with our blog post yesterday, we might consider eating from home – especially if the calories are worth counting. Even though it’s easier to look at a pre-set menu, and decide on Pad Thai. It’s often hard to wrap our heads around all the different ingredients while making sure not to waste the food we already have in the fridge. Meanwhile, we might also consider the economics of it – where do I find the cheapest chicken to...

How many calories in this meal?
Some of us need to take care what and how much we eat. I for one have a tendency to get more calories than I burn, which often have the expected consequence – my clothes shrinks… I have tried counting calories, but that is hard. Even though apps exists, which makes it easier, I still think it is time consuming and not fun. Also in the end – do I really need to know whether this is 852 calories or...
