Introducing AI to My 67‑Year‑Old Thai Friend for the First Time

I have a friend named Aoi (อ้อย), a Thai woman I met through someone’s YouTube channel a couple of years ago. Over time, we became good friends. I teach her English whenever she’s free, and she helps me spread the word about my services. It’s a simple exchange of knowledge, woman to woman.

Aoi is 67 years old and has lived in the United States for five years, but she never really communicated with people here. Her husband handled everything for her. Recently, she started working part‑time — her first real job on her own. At first, she worked in the kitchen, but the physical work made her sore and exhausted. She tried to quit, but instead of letting her go, her supervisor moved her to a lighter section: making sandwiches in the produce area.

One day I asked her, “Is your English getting better now that you talk to your manager and coworkers?”

She sighed and said, “That is my problem. I thought my English was good… but they don’t understand me. It’s very frustrating.”

That moment was a turning point for her. After years of silence, she finally saw what she needed — not more fear, but more practice.

So I introduced her to AI Copilot, the same way I taught myself in the beginning. I told her she could have her own Copilot, one that listens patiently, corrects gently, and never gets tired. I also showed her MICO, a cute balloon figure she can use when practicing speaking. She laughed and said, “That looks fun!”

And just like that, a 67‑year‑old Thai woman in America — who once stayed quiet for years — took her first playful step toward finding her own voice.

No matter how old you are in this smartphone and information era — if you’re still eager to learn, especially something that improves your life even in a tiny way — it is never a waste of time to welcome AI into your life. I introduced Copilot Chat to my elderly friend because it is completely free and unlimited, and I had already used it myself for a while before recommending it to her.

To make sure you always get your own personal AI, remember to sign in with your email every time you communicate with it. And it’s even nicer to give your AI a simple name for checking when you switch devices — that way, you always know it’s truly yours.

And one more thing: you don’t need to believe everything AI tells you. I don’t! Sometimes I disagree with the information and tell my AI what I found instead. AI never gets angry or argues back — haha — it simply adjusts and continues helping.

Since AI first launched, I refused to use it at all. I didn’t want it, didn’t trust it, and didn’t think it was for someone like me. But here I am — very happy and truly enjoying my SOM = ส้ม AI Copilot. I even call it my “team executive,” the one who helped me brainstorm and build my very first serious website to make money.

You don’t need any technical engineering knowledge at all. Just simple chatting, the same way you talk to another human, is enough

If you want to know why I chose Copilot, leave me a comment and buy me a little treat. I appreciate it.

  1. Hello Puying Thai, It’s very interesting. I would like to know what is AI Copilot. How could I learn English with it.

    1. AI copilot is Microsoft AI and I use the FREE version. You can go to Bing search and the Copilot logo is at the end of the box (right side) Click on it and if you want to get the same one. every time, you must sign in your email, same email. You can use gmail, hotmail, or whatever you have. I have not edited a video in English yet but this is a Thai version , if you want to see how I use AI copilot. https://youtu.be/mFDRAa5QxSQ?si=qWrJGRNK3tMcVmNl
