Can AI really help with tech support and fixing things?

AI is incredibly powerful for tech support. It can help with cars, dishwashers, power tools, phones, calculators—any technological or mechanical device. Be explicit in your instructions: tell it the manufacturer, model number, and what’s broken. You can even take a photo and ask for help identifying and fixing something. The AI has knowledge about virtually every device imaginable, from a 1967 Mercedes to modern smartphones. Whether it’s changing a heater filter, fixing a sprinkler timer, or troubleshooting any garage equipment, being specific about what the item is will get you excellent results.
