By far my biggest advice to anyone trying to adopt AI properly:
1. Pay a little bit of money to Anthropic
2. Download Claude Code
3. Open Claude Code
4. Press 'Shift-Tab' until it says 'plan mode on'
5. Open Voice Memo on your iPhone. Just talk about all the things you want to accomplish. When you think you are done, just keep talking. Make sure it is at least 10 minutes, hopefully longer
6. Send this Voice Memo to your computer
7. Download MacWhisper and use it to transcribe this voice memo. Trust me, you will want MacWhisper and will use it later a lot
8. Type into Claude Code: "I have never used you before but I talked about some things. I will paste those things in below. Please read the things and ask me any questions you need to in order to help me figure out how to use you to be awesome. Ask me lots of questions until I tell you I am done"
9. Then paste in the transcript
10. Then press enter
Then just let Claude take the wheel, and them please send me a DM if this works.
Also, if this just sounds crazy, just literally take this entire message and paste it into whatever AI you are using and say 'some weird person told me to paste this into you, I want to use it, but I don't know how. What should I do?'
I am just trying to help you get started. Curiosity and persistence are the most important things.

Folks rightly pointing out that you can record and transcribe with various tools. Claude Code has a /voice command now. You can also get a transcript from the iOS voice memo. There are lots of ways to do it, so what works for you. The point is that with LLMs, the keyboard is often an unnecessary Morse code machine for your brain - that causes friction to start. LLMs can help distill your messy thoughts so I find rambling is the best way to get started.
Also with MacWhisper I use it because I bind it to a key and use it for everything, not just transcription. I rarely use my keyboard for anything now. No affiliation with the tool whatsoever.
