We are seeing lawyers face disciplinary action for blindly trusting AI research. We are seeing major legal settlements over overhyped AI marketing. And in a massive shift for business compliance, Colorado just completely watered down its landmark AI regulations under pressure. The winners right now are not the companies buying the flashiest tools. The winners…
If there is one theme that keeps popping up in my conversations with founders this week, it is the collision between the hot promises and your reality. We are past the honeymoon phase of artificial intelligence. Now, we are dealing with the messy, physical, and legal realities of integrating it into actual companies. You will…
Dear Friend, Adobe just officially closed its acquisition of Semrush. As AI agents increasingly drive purchasing decisions, this move positions them to lead the charge in SEO, generative engine optimization, and agentic search. The landscape of brand visibility is evolving fast. Speaking of agents, last week in our Applied AI, we tackled one of our…
Dear Friend, Last week in our Applied AI Session, we went deep into building workflows instead of just playing around with prompts. The biggest takeaway from the group was to start simple.

That theme carried right into this week’s news, too. The most useful AI stories we…
Dear Friend, Last week in our Applied AI session, we spent time testing how different AI models handle spreadsheets, reports, and presentations in real workflows. The big takeaway was practical: Claude stood out for formula-ready spreadsheets and even HTML calculators,and Gemini impressed on charts and polished reports. Most won’t do forumulas unless you explicitly ask…
Dear Friend, Last week, in Applied AI we spent time inside presentations and honestly, it was one of those “this saves hours” sessions. The big takeaway? AI tools like Canva, Gamma, and Google Slides are getting faster and more practical, and they still need direction. The best results came when we brought a clear outline…
Hi Friend, The themes this week are practical adoption, stronger guardrails, and smarter use of AI where it actually makes a difference. One more thing worth folding into this week’s read: the way people search for information is shifting. AI tools like Perplexity, ChatGPT with web browsing, and Microsoft Copilot are now capturing a significant…
Hello friend, Let’s be honest for a second. There is a massive difference between knowing about AI and actually using it to change how your business runs. We see it all the time. Leaders get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tools out there. They sign up for a dozen free trials, play around for…
