AI for UF companies

Useful, but not magic. Know where it helps and where it can cost you.

When AI is useful

  • Drafting emails, memos and social posts.
  • Explaining code or helping you get started with a small script.
  • Brainstorming product names, marketing angles or workflow ideas.
  • Summarising long articles or meeting notes.

When AI is not useful

  • Bookkeeping. The numbers have to be right, and AI gets them wrong often enough to matter.
  • Legal advice. It can summarise a law, but it cannot replace a human review of your contract.
  • Customer data in free tiers. Never paste customer names, emails or orders into a tool you do not pay for.

Paid AI vs local AI

Paid APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google cost very little at student volumes and are far more capable. Running a model locally is free and private, but needs a decent computer and gives weaker results.

Our honest take: pay for the real work, run something local if you want to learn how it works.
