My AI-Powered Nursery Trip: Next-Level Plant Shopping

· ·

I brought AI to the nursery because plants and I have a complicated relationship. I love them. They don’t usually love me back as much.

Here’s what I did:

  • Used ChatGPT’s live video mode to pan over flowers and asked which would thrive in my northwest-facing area with hanging clay pots that gets 6-8 hours of sun but is protected under the pergola.

  • Uploaded photos of several varieties I liked and asked for a detailed table breaking down the following for each plant: sun/water needs, height/width, temp hardiness, fertilizer requirements, bloom time, deadheading needs, etc.

I loved this. Everything in one table!

  • Asked which ones would work best in my specific setups like my DIY gutter planter that’s in the shade and a small picture frame planter that’s more exposed.

This is next-level research. Very different consumer behavior. I didn’t need to know the right keywords or translate my needs into search terms. I just showed or told AI my actual situation and let it figure out the connections.

Before AI, I had to read every single plant label and do endless (traditional) Google searches and click on various blue links. Now I just video the flowers and upload photos of what catches my eye.

I now get a custom analysis and recommendations. Just me, my iPhone, AI, and what turned out to be some gorgeous flowers.

Will everything survive the summer? We’ll find out. I did overrule some of AI’s recommendations, so we’ll see how that goes. But my old approach wasn’t foolproof either.

Interestingly, I’m already seeing new work applications from this experience. Many of my work AI use cases were inspired by personal AI experiments.

Sometimes the best learning happens when you’re just trying to keep something beautiful alive.

Reimagine Your Job: AI as Teammate

· ·

Most people are still asking, “How do I use AI to do my job faster?”

It’s a good start. But the real unlock happens after AI takes on the repeatable work.

  • What do you finally have time to focus on?

  • What parts of your role become more strategic, creative, or cross-functional?

  • What does your job become when AI isn’t just a tool—but a teammate?

Learning to prompt better helps but that’s not enough. This is a mindset and behavior shift.

You can’t reimagine the future by automating the past. (Henry Ford would call this our “faster horses” moment.)

Instead of worrying about replacement, let’s create what comes next.

Wishing everyone in the U.S. a meaningful Memorial Day weekend, a time to pause, reflect, and look ahead with purpose.

Reimagine Your Role: Focus on Strategy, Not Tasks

We keep telling people to “upskill and reskill” or “learn to collaborate with AI.” But what does that actually look like in practice?

Everyone talks about preparing for AI. But very few show you what you’re preparing for.

Megan Ratcliff, Growth Marketing Director at Dice, is living this evolution right now. Her manager, Carol-Lyn Jardine, says she’s as productive as someone working double the hours. On top of that, more effective delivering meaningful results while inspiring others.

The shift wasn’t about learning to prompt AI better. It was about reimagining what her role could become when AI teammates handle predictable work.

Most of us are still thinking “How do I use AI to do my current job faster?” But the better question is “What could my role become when AI handles routine execution?”

Megan’s path shows what’s possible in many of her recent posts including this one: https://lnkd.in/gQSa6XdQ

She built this with curiosity and systematic thinking, not coding skills.

People like Megan are trailblazers, redefining what jobs can be. While others worry about replacement, she’s creating her future.

Based on my work with Megan and her team, I’ve compiled a table showing how her job has changed and a sample job description of her evolved role. See below.

What would your role look like if you could focus purely on strategy, creativity, complex problem-solving, breaking down silos, and guiding AI responsibly?

Reimagine your role with AI and start building towards it.
