AI Without Unlimited Data — Caching Tricks

AI itself uses very little data. What costs you is the surrounding noise — autoplay video, image previews, chatty social feeds — and re-doing work you already did once.

• Draft your prompt offline in a notes app, paste it in only when you hit Send
• Keep a single ongoing thread per topic instead of starting fresh every time
• Save AI answers to your notes app so you don't re-ask
• Turn off image preview and autoplay everywhere — browser, email, messaging
• Download long reference docs once over Wi-Fi at the library, then read offline

The more you reuse threads and notes, the more your AI use looks like email — small, occasional, predictable — instead of streaming.
