Homework is back and there's a tutor who works free, never size, and never checks the clock. It lives in your phone. And before you say, AI is cheating, hear me out. I'm Kim Camadol for the current. What's spying on you? What's scamming you? And what's worth your money? Over a million readers, zero dollars, get Kim.com. Here's what changed. The chatbots built a tutor mode right in. ChatGbT calls it study mode. Gemini calls it guided learning. Cloud calls it learning mode, free on all three. Flip it on and it refuses to hand over the answer. It asks questions instead, one step at a time, until your kid gets there. Snap a photo of the math problem and watch a coach. Then the part that seals it. Have your kid explain the answer back to the chatbot. If they can teach it, they learned it. Private tutors run $5,200 an hour. This one's free. The dog can eat the homework. He can't eat the tutor. Get more tips like this in my free newsletter. And you're going to know why over a million folks just love it. And it's Fybstarrated. Get Kim.com.

AI tutoring is changing how kids can learn at home. But up next, Dom, a teacher in Minneapolis, has spent decades teaching electronics and robotics. And now he wants to take that passion online to reach even more kids. Kim has some ideas on how he can make that happen next. Here's something your body never tells you. Somewhere in your 20s, it quietly starts making less collagen. No memo, no warning. You notice it years later. Fine lines, thinning hair, nails that break, and filling a little less flexible on that morning walk. That's not getting older. That's collagen slipping away. But you can support your body naturally. I'm talking about high quality collagen from native path. It gives your body the building blocks it needs to support smoother looking skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair. In some studies suggest, collagen supplements may even help support bone health. This is not about turning back time. It's about feeling your best at any age and glowing like you mean it. Right now, my listeners get native path collagen for a fraction of the retail price.

Dominic Minneapolis, hello there. Yeah, hi Kim. Thanks for taking my call. Long time listener, first time caller. I was driving around town with Lauren. Your associate producer called me and gave me the news. And I was presently surprised. I told her that I had to pull over since multitasking was not going to work here because I had just acquired a Kim track mind, meaning one track mind. No. No. By the way, you know, my son is a serious fantasy football fanatic. I know you guys were talking about that. He lives in California, but travels to Minnesota every year where we live. And he comes to more tailed six hour house and visits the group to form the teams because

he loves moms cooking. That's awesome. I did do a live draft. So I have a question when you're ready. We're ready. Okay, so I have a degree in electronics and I taught electronics and robotics for about 38 years. So I also use chat GPT and cloud as a hobby, but you know, to send funny pictorial responses to my friends posts and WhatsApp. So that may be a level one, one and a half, you know, level of comfort. So what I'm looking to do is try to use my electronics like hardware building, circuit building expertise and use chat GPT to make maybe a simple YouTube videos that will attract the younger kids to electronics because I know we used to do summer camps every year at school to bring kids in from anywhere from four to 15 and give them robotic kids and they would have a blast with it. So I know they're interested. I just want to make sure I know a good approach to put it on what platform so that I get

some, you know, traction on that and help people learn electronics because you're getting to be from hardware for sure. If you go on overseas and like to bring it back as much as I can. I would put it right on TikTok. TikTok or YouTube, right? My son, it was in the robotics. He built robotics in he was in the club last year at school and his number one go to was YouTube and what was the most convenient thing was the name of the video was exactly how to he needed. Like what was he building? He was building a robot that could pick up balls on the floor, put them on a conveyor belt and score goals on two different heights. Nice. And so he would, you know, how do I get the ball to go from height one to height two or how do I get the robot to pick up the ball and send it straight and he wouldn't be able to translate it better. But he would search YouTube. He would search TikTok. No, he would search YouTube with his question. I'm surprised because I would think that these short little clips would be something that would attract a kid who's on TikTok.

But when you're scrolling TikTok, you're looking for entertainment. That's true. It's not going to be something specific to seek out. And basically, you know, that generation, they use YouTube as their search engine. They don't go to Google. And he would just ask his question in the YouTube search engine and it took maybe one or two scrolls down it and it wasn't always the top video. But we always found the answer. How long should the video be? No longer than a minute and a half. Don't introduce yourself. Don't talk about how great you have experience. Get right to it because they're just going to scroll right past that until they find the point where you're answering the question anyway. Does that's all? Yeah. They don't care. So so there do that. Why don't you get it? Get it up and running and then send us the link. And then we could evaluate your videos for you. Absolutely. I got a 12 year old that would eat it up. We could have Francis over. You know what he could be our new like YouTube reviewer. He could. Okay. You can admit it.
