Ratings and reviews

This book covers all the essential topics. I myself use AI everyday for different purposes. This book really helped give me a new perspective, I was in a dilemma before purchasing but when I read it's sublime! The examples are practical& relatable if you're someone curious about AI.It doesn't try to get overly technical which actually works in its favour, you can pick it up without any background and still walk away understanding how AI is shaping things around you ! Long story short - loved it.

Everyday AI: A Minimal Practical Guide is a refreshingly simple yet powerful introduction to using AI in daily life. Sushmita Sen Gupta strips away the fear and complexity around artificial intelligence, presenting it as a practical tool rather than a technical mystery. The book stands out for its hands-on approach—focusing on real-life applications, clear prompts, and actionable steps that anyone can follow without prior technical knowledge. It emphasizes working with AI, not depending on it .

Just finished everyday AI by Sushmita Sen Gupta & honestly it’s one of those rare reads that doesn’t try too hard to impress but still leaves an impact. What I liked most is how simple and approachable it feels. AI can get intimidating really fast especially with all the jargon floating around but this book strips it down to the basics without making you feel like you’re missing out on anything important It genuinely feels like someone sat down & explained things to you in a normal conversation.
