" I stopped learning passively and started building"

Before this program...
 I was already curious about AI, but I was stuck in learning mode — too many tools, too many ideas, and not enough traction. I wanted to use AI to make my life easier, more aligned, more me - but I wasn’t sure how to do that without it just becoming another thing on my to-do list. 
Thanks to this program...
 I stopped learning passively and started building. I created multiple personal AI assistants:
 • A governance GPT for public Council meetings (Tohutohu – The Standing Orders Whisperer).
 • A straight-talking wellness coach who helps me see my blind spots (Lumvara).
 • A fully personalized Sous-Chef that builds meals from my actual food stock, flags what needs using up, and keeps me on track with flavorful, protein-rich recipes I’ll actually enjoy eating.
 • Task-based nudges that help me stay grounded, productive, and clear-headed each day
 I even created a fierce visual anchor (a boxing chimpanzee) and turned it into a music video - just to remind myself to fight for focus, not perfection. 
And now, my life is...
 More intentional. More supported. More alive.
 AI isn’t just a tool for me now - it’s a personal ecosystem of support. It reminds me who I want to be, how I want to live, and that I don’t need to prove anything. I just need to choose.
