Daily hacks, killer prompts & no-fluff tutorial drops - I test AI tools so you don’t have to. 📲 Follow

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

I've spent 1000+ hours testing AI tools.

Most are hype. A few are gold.

Here's everything I've built and curated — free, no paywalls 🧵

🛡️ Former Google security leaders raise $36M to fight AI-powered phishing

AegisAI, founded by former Google security executives, has raised $36 million in Series A funding to combat the growing wave of AI-generated spear phishing attacks. Its AI agents analyze emails like a human, detecting subtle signs of fraud that traditional rule-based systems often miss. (TechCrunch)

Key highlights:
• $36M Series A led by Battery Ventures
• Uses AI agents to detect sophisticated phishing emails
• Built by former Google Safe Browsing and reCAPTCHA leaders
• Targets AI-generated business email compromise (BEC) attacks (TechCrunch)

💡 Why it matters:
As attackers increasingly use AI to craft convincing phishing emails, defenders are responding with AI of their own. The future of cybersecurity is becoming AI vs. AI. (TechCrunch)

Hot take: Prompt engineering isn't a skill.

It's the new literacy.

If you can't prompt well in 2025, you're already behind.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

ChatGPT didn't kill jobs.

People who learned ChatGPT took them.

Big difference.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

You don't need to understand how AI works.

You need to understand what it can do for YOU.

Big difference. Start there.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

If I had to teach someone AI from scratch in one week:

Day 1: ChatGPT basics
Day 2: Prompt engineering
Day 3: Claude for writing
Day 4: Perplexity for research
Day 5: One image tool
Day 6: One automation tool
Day 7: Build something small

One week. Completely changed.

Things AI can do that most people don't know:

• Read and analyze a 100-page PDF in seconds
• Write code from plain English descriptions
• Translate with cultural context, not just words
• Generate a full course curriculum
• Debug your writing like an editor

You're not using it enough.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

Stop treating AI like a search engine.

Treat it like a senior colleague.

Give it background. Ask for opinions. Push back. Iterate.

The quality of your output depends entirely on the quality of your conversation.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

The best prompt I use every single day:

"Act as an expert in [X]. I want to [goal]. Give me a step-by-step plan. Be concise. No fluff."

Simple. Powerful. Works every time.

New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.

Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.

We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.

I built a free AI tool that generates high-quality prompts in seconds.

No signup. No API key. No paywall.

Try it and tell me what you think.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

The people who will struggle in 5 years aren't the ones who don't know AI.

They're the ones who refused to learn it.

Harsh? Yes. True? Also yes.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

AI for students in 2026:

• @scholarcy → summarize research papers
• @explain_paper → simplify complex text
• @ConsensusNLP → evidence-based answers
• @elicitorg → literature review in minutes
• @GammaApp → presentations in seconds

Share this with every student you know.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

The #1 mistake beginners make with AI:

Asking it WHAT to do instead of HOW to do it.

AI is a tool, not a decision-maker.

You're still the strategist.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

Every time I post about AI, someone says:
"This is just hype."

Every time. Without fail.

Those same people are now asking me to teach them.

I don't say I told you so.
But I do think it very loudly. 😌

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

My most asked question: "How do you know so much about AI?"

Honest answer: I didn't wait for a class.

I just started using it. Broke it. Fixed it. Shared it.

That's the whole strategy.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

The hardest part of teaching AI isn't the technology.

It's convincing people that they're allowed to use it.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

A student once told me:
"I'm not a tech person. AI isn't for me."

I taught her one prompt.

She used it to write her thesis abstract.

She called me the next day in tears — happy ones.

AI is for everyone. Especially the ones who think it isn't.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

You don't need a CS degree to work with AI.

You need curiosity, consistency, and the right prompts.

That's it.

[Teresa (Teri) @Terie_AI]

The most valuable 30 minutes I spend each week:

Learning one new AI tool or feature.

That's it. One thing. Every week.

Compound interest — but for skills.
