“The best way to understand AI is to make it part of your everyday work.”

✍️ Clone your writing style so AI stops sounding like a robot and starts sounding like you.
Here are 2–3 samples of my writing: **[PASTE SAMPLES]**. Analyze the structure, sentence length, tone, vocabulary, and quirks, then turn it into a reusable style guide in bullet points. After that, using that style guide, write: **[YOUR NEW THING]**.
Why this works: you make the AI learn your voice once, then reuse that style guide forever. No more generic output.

I'm Dr. Alvaro Cintas, professor, consultant, and the person behind Simplifying AI.
But before any of that, I was the guy in the classroom watching smart people bounce off artificial intelligence.
Where this started
I have a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering, and for years I taught AI to students who found it genuinely hard. Not because they weren't capable, but because the whole field was buried under abstract math and jargon that made it feel like a walled garden for coders only.
I kept thinking: this doesn't have to be this confusing.
So I made it my job to translate it. To take the intimidating parts and make them make sense for normal, brilliant people who don't write Python.
The day everything clicked
Then ChatGPT arrived, and suddenly the whole world had the same realization I'd been chasing in the classroom. People finally felt it: AI isn't a wall of numbers. It's a tool. And you can actually use it.
That was the moment I knew what I was here to do.
Because here's what I noticed: most people talking loudly about AI can't actually build anything with it. They have the buzzwords, not the hands-on skill. My focus is the opposite, entirely practical. Not "what AI might mean for humanity" someday, but what you can do with it for your work and your life today.
Where it's gone
I started simply sharing my work and my wins online. People wanted more. So I kept going:
My work has also been featured in Forbes a few times along the way. (here are some articles if interested: 1, 2). But the number I care about most isn't a follower count, it's how many people go from "AI feels like something other people are good at" to actually using it, the same day they read me.
Who I am when I'm not doing this
I played Division 1 college tennis and I never lost the athlete in me. I'm still deep into sports, fitness, and health protocols (ask me about them and I won't stop). I live with my beautiful wife and our puppy, Alfie, a Corgi mix who is, objectively, very good at interrupting my recordings.
I was too late for a lot of revolutions. I'm right on time for this one.
Come learn it with me.
This is the Great Alfie!
