To be honest, half of these opportunities were ones I actively pursued (haha), and the other half came from people who saw how AI helps me work and reached out to me proactively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af679d2892ed&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af679d2892ed\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/knowledgegut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kg-taichung-meetup-0917.webp\" alt=\"9\/17 \u53f0\u4e2d Claude \u5c0f\u805a\u5927\u5408\u7167\" class=\"wp-image-7732\" style=\"width:560px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowledgegut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kg-taichung-meetup-0917.webp 1000w, https:\/\/knowledgegut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kg-taichung-meetup-0917-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/knowledgegut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kg-taichung-meetup-0917-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u2726 9\/17 Taichung Gathering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>I haven't become better at selling myself.<\/strong><br>I just let AI prepare me, so when opportunities arise, I have something ready to present!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will share these stories in person on 10\/1 \ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgegut.com\/en\/brain-live1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Free Registration<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading newh2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%99_AI_%E6%80%8E%E9%BA%BC%E8%B5%B0%E9%80%B2%E6%88%91%E7%9A%84%E6%AF%8F%E4%B8%80%E5%A4%A9\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf19 How AI Weaves Into My Daily Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Morning<\/strong>: I just say \"Start work,\" and it organizes today's weather, emails, and to-do list for me<\/li><li><strong>Daytime<\/strong>: I barely type anymore; I do it all by speaking!
