ChatGPT to Product: AI’s Impact on Your Career!

The way we work is changing, and fast. Tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and Zapier are becoming common, making people wonder if AI will take their jobs. Some see this as a threat, while others see a chance to learn and grow. The pace of tech means staying still isn’t an option.

Key Takeaways

  • AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and Zapier are changing how we work.
  • Learning about these tools is important to avoid being left behind.
  • Those who adapt quickly are gaining a significant advantage.

AI Tools Are Changing the Game

Think about it: people are using ChatGPT for ideas, Canva for design, and Zapier to link different software. These aren’t just fancy gadgets; they’re becoming part of how work gets done. It’s like having a super-powered assistant for all sorts of tasks.

The Speed of Change

This isn’t like the early days of social media. Things are moving much, much faster now. When I first started sharing information, the pace felt slow compared to today. The speed at which these AI tools are developing and being adopted is pretty wild.

Why Learning is Non-Negotiable

That’s why I’m pushing so hard for people to learn. We started Torque Academy because we saw this need. Everyone wants to understand AI, but more importantly, they want to make sure they aren’t getting left behind. It’s a real worry for a lot of people.

My biggest concern is for those who aren’t keeping up. The gap between those who are learning and adapting and those who aren’t is growing. The people who are jumping on board now are already way ahead. It’s a wake-up call to get informed and start using these tools.

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
