There's no stopping the spread of AI so let's ride the wave! Yes, that is an AI-generated picture of Kanye.

Hello Momentees!
I love AI. You love AI. We love AI! I’ll admit right now—without shame, guilt, or any of those self-destructive emotions—that AI powers the Momentum newsletter. More on the ethical implications of AI use later… or not!
Want a job? Need a job? I gotchu! I’ll walk you through how to land a job, internship, program, etc—from finding opportunities to applying to them!
And, of course, I’ll have free, effective templates and examples of resumes, cover letters, email, and brag sheets.
Enjoy!

Smart AI Tools for School, Work, and Life
Okay: Let us talk AI. 🤖
Here’s a TL;DR for those who don’t want to read a lot:
AI Tool | Best For | What It Does | Free? |
|---|---|---|---|
ChatGPT | Writing, studying, Q&A | Explains concepts, drafts essays, edits, creates flashcards | ✅ Yes (GPT-3.5) |
NotebookLM | Research + document understanding | Lets you upload sources and ask questions about them | ✅ Yes (Google) |
Perplexity AI | Research with sources | Gives short answers with real-time citations and links | ✅ Yes |
Canva Magic Write | Visual projects + content | Helps write resumes, posts, and slide content in Canva | ✅ Yes |
GrammarlyGO | Writing polish | Fixes grammar, tone, and clarity for essays and emails | ✅ Yes (basic) |
How to use AI effectively
Learn to use ChatGPT like a real pro!
NotebookLM is the best AI for summarizing sources (e.g., PDFs, textbooks, academic papers, articles). It’s a lifesaver, trust me.
