That’s true leverage and what I wish for everyone! As I say a lot these days, “When AI handles the mechanical, humans can handle the meaningful”.

Hi Reader, This week I had a chance to have a little fun with AI, outside of my usual business use-case experimenting...which, if I'm being honest, is also totally fun to me. I turned ChatGPT on my phone into my personal pocket IT department, I had my ChatGPT agent find a vegan banana pudding recipe and shop for (and purchase!) the ingredients, and I thoroughly enjoyed messing around with Claude Artifact's suggested use cases. Especially this one. This newsletter is sponsored by: Superhuman...

Hi Reader, It’s been a whirlwind week for me…I flew to Boston for my son’s surgery (he’s fine…just sinus surgery, and he’s recovering nicely), then from Boston to San Francisco to give the keynote at a company’s annual conference. Just got back in late last night. So I was a little out of the loop in my usual tinkering and experimenting, but I did get a chance to explore ChatGPT’s agent mode. Watch the video of that experiment down below, but if you want to save yourself 12 minutes, the short...
