How are two working moms using AI to run their businesses and simplify everyday life?

In this episode of Intelligence Resources, Samantha Viola Wilson and Brittany George share what they’re actually doing with ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok, from business finances and sales workflows to grocery shopping, family travel, and date-night planning.

Samantha shares how she uses an AI CFO to track financial goals across her businesses and help evaluate her Etsy print-on-demand store. Brittany explains how she built custom budgeting tools and an interactive benefits comparison dashboard with Claude.

They also get honest about the mistakes: AI changing an approved product listing, a technical issue hiding prospect replies, and a grocery bot ordering bags of limes instead of individual ones. Through it all, one lesson keeps coming up: human oversight still matters.

In this episode:
• Using AI to help manage cash flow, expenses, and business planning
• Running an Etsy store with AI-assisted designs and workflows
• Building custom apps and dashboards with Claude
• Improving sales outreach without losing the personal touch
• Organizing family trips, events, groceries, and recipes
• Creating a date-night bot to make time for your relationship
• Exploring AI for outfit planning and social media editing

Whether you’re a business owner, a busy parent, or simply curious about practical ways to use AI, this conversation offers real examples, honest lessons, and ideas to try.

Can AI learn how you work? A Chief People Officer joins Samantha and Brittany to share how he trained Claude by having it observe his resume reviews over two weeks—then used it to narrow 100 applications to 20 for his review while he took lunch.

From recruiting and automated reports to employee follow-ups and a workers’ compensation workflow built in two hours, this episode explores how AI can create more time for the people behind the paperwork. Hear how these experiments helped him avoid a planned $35,000 annual software investment and rethink his team’s hiring needs, while keeping human judgment involved.

His advice for getting started: don’t be scared to ask AI for help.
