In this episode, Brett Hanson announces a new, more personal direction for the "AI for Everyone" podcast. Moving away from a rigid structure, the show will now focus on the real-world, everyday applications of AI in Brett's life as a teacher, writer, and consultant. He outlines five core priorities that will shape future episodes: student AI readiness, client workflow solutions, AI-powered writing projects, personal professional organization, and creative AI endeavors.

The second half of the episode provides a practical, step-by-step tutorial on creating a "Custom Gem" in Google Gemini. Using his own writing project as an example, Brett demonstrates how to build a personalized AI assistant designed to help edit, revise, and brainstorm ideas for a new mystery series. This deep-dive offers listeners a tangible workflow for creating their own specialized AI tools to enhance efficiency and creativity.
