Learn how to use AI as an assistant and tutor. Some things we'll cover are. Snap-to-Price: Photograph an item and let AI suggest competitive prices for Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or eBay in seconds, and write the description. DIY Anything: Turn a quick smartphone photo of a broken gadget, appliance, or household fix into a step-by-step repair guide—no tech skills required. Inbox Shield: Paste any suspicious email into an AI checker to reveal hidden scams, phishing tactics, or misleading language before you click.
