Back in February, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder after ChatGPT convinced me to head to the Emergency Room for immediate treatment. As it turned out, my platelet count had dropped to zero, which is not just dangerously low, it's life-threatening. I owe a lot to how AI helped me both diagnose the problem and process it all in real time.

While I've shared this story on my blog at the time, I had the chance to tell this story for an Ignite Talk back in March.

Ignite Talks are my favorite kind of talk to give: You get a tight 5 minutes to present, with slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds (whether you're ready or not). It's a highly energetic style of presenting that can also be really engaging for the audience.

I had a lot of fun prepping for and sharing my story at Betaworks, and the video just went live yesterday.

You can watch it here. Hopefully you'll get a few tips about how to use AI to help you, too.
