AI Isn’t Coming for You. It’s Coming with You

The Tools Are Changing: Are We?

In June 2025, Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and the AI world quietly shifted again. This version can analyze documents, interpret images, and even build functioning web apps from a single prompt. It’s fast, smart, and deeply contextual and it’s no longer just for engineers.

And yet most of us, even the early adopters, are still using AI mostly to clean up an email, write a blog post draft, or help us brainstorm. That’s not a criticism. It’s a reflection of where we are in the change curve: curious, cautious, and sometimes overwhelmed. Remember that article I wrote just last month? I know 4 weeks feel like 4 months these days with how fast technology is changing.

But if these tools are evolving so rapidly, the real question becomes: are we evolving with them?

What I’ve Learned While Working With AI

As someone who supports small businesses, nonprofits, and solopreneurs with digital strategy, I see AI not as a magic solution but as a teammate. At mPath Services, I use tools like Claude and ChatGPT to assist with generating new ideas, improve user experience flows, structure a piece of writing, or even double-check something before it goes to a client.

But here’s the key: AI doesn’t replace your intent - it reflects it. If you’re vague, it’s vague. If you lead with clarity, it can save you hours. In every project, empathy still drives execution. That’s what makes the output truly useful and truly you.

Your Turn: What’s One Task You Could Hand Over?

We all have that one thing we dread: a pitch deck, a proposal, a volunteer reminder email. What if you handed that draft to an AI tool just to get started?

Try it this week. See how it feels. You’re not outsourcing your voice; just asking for help.

And that’s something good leaders do.
