In practice, meaningful AI adoption is some combination of:

- higher-fidelity data acquisition via new, discursive media (e.g., bespoke voice assistants via @Vapi_AI  in lieu of surveys, passive capture of live human interactions via @firefliesai or @meetgranola, as well as "digital exhaust" emitted during asynchronous collaboration through @loom videos) that complements existing records, e.g., PDFs, CRM logs, corporate knowledge base articles;

- turn-key entry of intent via @superwhisperapp or @WisprFlow (i.e., get your thoughts directly into the computer via dictation, which is 3x faster than typing) + salient contextual data into state-of-the-art models (mastery of key commands and window snapping tools like Magnet or Rectangle are critical for preserving user attention — highly recommend getting an ultra-wide monitor as well);

- rigorous analysis via "thought partnerships" with e.g., Anthropic's Claude Pro, o1 Pro via OpenAI's ChatGPT, that accelerate the process by which the human user (the "pilot") teases out actionable insight from the raw material (the goal is, generally, to figure out what's new that's true — and then what you should DO), supported increasingly by

- delegation of "deep research" tasks to proto-agentic systems* and specialized search products like @perplexity_ai, Google Gemini 1.5 Deep Research, @HappenstanceAI (for mining your network), and even @Upwork for publishing micro-RFPs (pro tip: ask o1 Pro to generate RFP outlines with milestone-based compensation at the $100, $1000, and $10k levels to see what you might get at each level of budget); towards the end of

- publication of a "charismatically compressed" work product that is hyper-tailored to grab and hold the attention of your audience (often a colleague), via the "best fit" medium, e.g., interactive podcasts via Google's NotebookLM, a @MeetGamma slide deck, an interactive Claude artifact (published via a Pro link or even a full web app per @Replit's one-click deploy functionality), or just a razor-sharp email/Teams/Slack message with a long-form Loom video with a CTA button that links to a voice assistant in the postscript.

In short, this tech allows for serious reengineering of existing workflows à la BPR in "single-player mode," from which whole new forms of "multiplayer" team collaboration can emerge; the key is figuring out what that looks like for you, your team, and your business through rapid experimentation (with healthy constraints, e.g., aim to get something done in two hours vs. two days), regular knowledge sharing.
