In this episode of Working to Work, I speak with Justin Borge, a ChatGPT enthusiast who has found innovative ways to use AI to support his ADHD. We explore how AI can be a non-judgmental, always-available tool that helps neurodivergent individuals enhance their strengths and overcome challenges in work and creativity.

Topics covered:
• How Justin first started using ChatGPT and how it evolved into an essential tool.
• AI as a support system for executive function challenges.
• Using AI to translate complex information into more digestible formats.
• How ChatGPT can help with structuring ideas and following through on projects.
