AI coverage can feel like breathless hype or deeply technical conversation for people who already live in the terminal.

Make AI Useful is about what happens when these tools meet real work. Aaron Makelky tests AI on actual projects, including where it saves time and where it creates a new mess. He also talks with people who have found uses worth repeating.

Episodes cover the jobs people already need to get done: following up after meetings, turning one recording into useful content, organizing information, helping a small team work better, and ways to use AI for leverage in your business or career.

The show is for people who do not code or want to keep up every model release. They just want to know what is worth trying, and most importantly: what is worth ignoring.
