From Backyard Telescopes to AI‑Powered Art Sales, on Mr. Maeda's Cozy AI Kitchen

Jeremy Likness, a software developer and astrophotographer, shares how he uses Microsoft Copilot and AI tools to run his art sales side business. He uses Copilot to analyze photos, generate product descriptions, suggest pricing strategies, animate still images, create video transitions, and generate background music. His key advice for non-technical small business owners: talk to AI the same way you'd talk to a person, and lean into it iteratively. He highlights a concrete example where Copilot saved him $1,200 in 3D rendering fees by doing the work itself.
