Welcome to Applying AI with Adam

Exploring simple, practical ways to incorporate AI into everyday life.

Hello! This blog/newsletter aims to make widely available AI technology to life - together with you, our dear readers. Whether you are trying out gen AI tools for the first time or dabbling as an early enthusiast (can anyone really be expert yet?), this space is all about practical applications and hands-on exercises to help you integrate AI into your work and life.

Even if AI innovation paused overnight, I believe it will take society another 5-10 years to full embrace the tools available today. The goal of this publication is to help bridge that gap a bit. There’s no shortage of AI news out there, and you’ll find less of that here. This space is focused on simplifying the noise and diving straight into real-world applications that you can try and learn from now.

You can expect about one post a week here.

Who am I? My name is Adam Schau and I have a background in entrepreneurship, business management, and a passion to help people adopt and adapt to new technology. I work at Microsoft in our Modern Work business where tools like Copilot are reshaping the way which we work and collaborate. I call the Washington, DC area home and spend my free time cooking, cocktailing, swimming, swinging kettlebells, and chasing my little 3yo around (who makes a great impromptu bell).

Come join the fun! The water is warm and this AI stuff isn’t going to learn itself. I’ll do my best to make it a meaningful and enjoyable use of your time.
