Why Is AI Suddenly Good at Numbers?
AI can now do maths, not because it is getting better at predicting the next number, like it predicts text, but because it's become a reasoning layer that knows when to use tools.
Why Your AI Assumptions Are Costing You Time
This weekend I wasted half an hour redoing work I'd already finished—all because I didn't ask AI for what I really wanted.
OpenAI Released 220 Gold Prompts. Dig In.
Would you like to see great prompts used by different professionals in multiple industries, written by the best and most experienced people on the planet?
OpenAI just released a list of over 200 of those, with the entire prompt and all the attachments and how they were used.
It’s NOT a "list of 200 prompts you must use today". I don’t like those at all!
It is an insightful database to dig into, start a conversation and get inspired.s
Reading the Signals: Why Projects Beat GPTs and What's Next
Sometimes platforms offer two features that look identical, and we're left wondering which one to use. The answer isn't in the launch announcement.
It's in watching which feature gets the developers love: that is: upgrades, improvements, new capabilities
AI Can Systemise Your Work!
Every so often, I have one of those admin-type tasks I just don’t want to do myself.
Things like copying and pasting data. Updating details. Keeping track of long lists.
It feels like AI should be able to do it for me.
And well, some apps are starting to do just that for us.
Today I show you Notion AI.
Your First SharePoint Agent: Company Policy Magic in Minutes
Everyone talks about agents all the time and it sounds very advanced and very complex, but really it can be very simple.
In this video, you’ll see how to create your first SharePoint agent. I demo it with an agent that can discuss company policies, then I give some examples of what else you can use it for.
AI Moves In: Shared Projects, Company Knowledge, and Atlas
Today we will look at some great updates coming out of ChatGPT that you’ll want to know about.
Next week we will give love to Microsoft users, looking at SharePoint Agents.
In today's video, you’ll see how ChatGPT now lets you share projects, connect company knowledge, and take action for you in the new browser, Atlas.
Copilot Vision: When AI Joins You on Screen
Today we’re one step closer to AI that truly sits on our devices, can see everything we’re doing, and can chat with us about it.
No more screenshots, no more uploads, no need to give it context.
It just lives with us.
This is where we’re going.
AI comes to our world rather than us having to go to it.
In the video, I share Microsoft’s new capability called Copilot Vision.
Free or paid? Making sense of AI licensing options
Licence options for AI apps are confusing.
Mostly because of questions around security of our data.
Let’s tidy it up, at least for now, until it changes again 😃.
We will focus on Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. The free, the paid, and the 'included in your Microsoft account'.
Context Blocks: The Magic Paragraph That Changes Everything
We all know that the more context we give AI, the better the responses are going to be.
But it’s a lot of effort to start explaining everything.
Sometimes we just need something done quickly, so we give less context, and we compromise our result.
In the video, I show how to make this process a lot easier.
The magic is called context blocks. I'll show you how I use them and, how I easily create them.
From personal helper to firm-wide practice
Today, you’ll see how to take great AI use cases and make it into a simple tool or agent that anyone in your team can use.
We will look at options in ChatGPT and in Microsoft Copilot.
We will also look at the process I like going through to implement this with your team.
You Can Build an App! Who Knew?
Today I want to open the door and invite you into the amazing world of AI App Builders, AI that builds apps for us.
I’m not doing this because I think we should all start building apps — I don’t think that at all.
I’m doing it because I want you to know what’s possible, have awareness of what’s going on, and have that moment of 'wow, I made an app and it worked!'.
I also want you to understand what people are offering when they sell or develop an app for you, and what tools they have so that you know what’s at their disposal.
Let’s go!
In the video, I open the door and show the amazing world of AI app builders.
AI That Works the Web: My Pick and Why It Matters
It’s time to get started with browsers that take over and do things for us.
They are moving from Early Adopter to Early Majority territory.
So you should give them a go.
In the video, I show two: agent mode in ChatGPT and Comet from Perplexity.
I have a very clear preference between the two.
AI Image Magic That Touches the Heart
Today we have something that is a little less directly work-related, but still, we should all be aware of. It’s about where AI image generation and image editing are at right now.
Big Copilot Updates
We have some big updates from Microsoft Copilot.
Copilot tends to be a bit behind ChatGPT in terms of capabilities, so it is pretty exciting to get so many new features released for us users.
If you are a Copilot user, you will love these new options.
If you are a ChatGPT user, you'll enjoy seeing how excited we are about things you've had for ages 😄, lucky you.
But hey - we get them baked into our Microsoft environment, so now we can do things like: Hey Copilot, every morning, brief me on my meetings for the day.
Or - every afternoon, let me know what is still outstanding in my email.
Pretty cool. Let's jump in.
When Your Helpful AI Agent Becomes a Security Risk
We've talked about AI agents.
These are AI that can actually do things for us, not just talk about things with us. And this is becoming the norm now.
The self-driving browser. A new era begins.
Today I want to show you one of the things that we do for the first time and life will never be the same.
I can imagine a day when our children ask: Why is it called a browser? And we will explain that they used to just browse. Not do anything. And the kids will ask: Really? What was that good for?
This era has just begun and the first major player is Comet, a browser by Perplexity, the company that makes the AI-powered search and answer engine also called Perplexity.
GPT-5: What's New and Why It Matters
GPT-5 is here. And it rolled out to ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot at the same time, so Copilot users weren’t left behind.
It’s faster, it’s smarter, and it combines all the models into one.
I’ll show you what it looks like in both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, how to get started, and a tip that can give you a bit more capacity in GPT-5.
Your apps just got smarter. Did your policy?
We need to update our AI policy.
There are major changes that we really need to look at.
And if you're a smaller business and you don't really have a formal AI policy, that's OK.
You need to at least think about these topics, make some decisions and have a conversation with your team about them.
Agent Mode in ChatGPT is here! What does that mean for you?
We are hearing a lot about AI agents. It’s no longer a future thing. It’s a now thing.
Let me show you what they are so that you become a smarter builder and a smarter buyer.
