At our AI Smart Labs session last June 25, our team talked about tool redundancy. If a primary AI tool goes down, you must have a backup ready. You need to know exactly what instructions and context you feed your tools so you can pack up your digital suitcase and move to Gemini or Claude…
At our AI Smart Labs session on June 18, we mapped out a new PR outreach process to handle outbound podcast and interview queries. Our team decided to drop our process directly into a workflow and SOP creator to generate clear instructions for the team. ou can automate tedious relationship-building tasks, and you still need…
Hello Friend, The AI you lean on is not fully yours to control. Apple now runs its new Siri on Google’s models. Anthropic had to switch off its two most powerful models overnight after a government order. And a team out of MIT showed just how much power and water it takes to keep these…
Dear Friend, We are officially entering the operational era of AI. The initial hype has settled, and now businesses are realizing that long-term success requires serious infrastructure. In our lab session last week, we experienced firsthand what happens when AI models update and workflows break. We had a core AI tool fail on us, but…

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…

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. Whether Hudson was using NotebookLM to instantly turn class modules into study guides, or Hailie was mapping out a multi-step newsletter process from…
