Another day, another AI tool. Say hello to Manus AI! (Shoutout to all the Irish Manus’ out there who now have an AI Agent named after them!) 

Manus AI is an autonomous AI agent developed by the Chinese startup Monica. Launched in March 2025, it is designed to bridge the gap between human intent and execution by independently planning, executing, and delivering results for various tasks.

It is my friends, a step above ChatGPT who completes one task at a time. Manus, meanwhile is a super-duper multi-tasker!

In this episode, I sit down with Maria Walsh, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Midlands North West in Ireland, to discuss the rise of deepfakes — and her fight to change that.

Search marketing is changing fast. Google’s dominance is being challenged as AI-driven search tools are making it more conversational and context-based. One tool that’s changing how I search is Perplexity AI. Unlike Google, which ranks websites based on algorithms and backlinks, Perplexity works differently—it doesn’t just serve up a list of links. Instead, it gives direct answers, summarised insights, and referenced sources all within its dashboard.

Tune in to discover how AI is revolutionizing search—and why Perplexity AI is changing the game for marketers and communicators.

I polled my connections on LinkedIn and asked them: ‘What is stopping you from adopting AI for marketing? And, one response I received is the topic for today’s episode. 

‘Who really owns our AI-generated content?’ Thank you Paula, for such a thought-provoking question. 

The answer to this question lies in the AI legislation but also is determined in courts of law. 

Laws governing AI-generated content vary widely across countries, with most emphasising human authorship as a requirement for copyright protection. 

The global landscape is fragmented, highlighting the need for international harmonisation to balance innovation with copyright protections. And of course the law always needs to be tested in the courts.

What if you could create content without ever touching a keyboard? I’ve been testing VoicePal, an AI tool that turns spoken thoughts into structured content, and it’s completely changed the way I work. In this episode,  I’ll share why speaking first unlocks creativity, how AI ghostwriting can refine your ideas, and why you might want to ditch the keyboard for good.

In the last episode I talked about the value of AI voice tools for marketing. Today I’m bringing you a favourite AI voice tool I’ve been using, called VoicePal. 

I’ve always believed that voice is the most natural way to ideate. When you speak, your ideas flow freely—without the overthinking that can come with writing. But translating those thoughts into structured content can be a challenge. That’s where VoicePal comes in, acting as a kind of ghostwriter that listens, refines, and helps expand on your ideas.

So, what is VoicePal?

Your voice is your stream of consciousness—ideas forming in real time, flowing from thought to speech in nanoseconds. But are we using it enough in marketing? In this episode, I’ll explore why voice is the most natural way to ideate, how AI voice synthesis can extend that power, and why we should be speaking more, not less, in our creative process. 

Today, I’m talking about the value of voice – your voice and AI voice. 

As a trained broadcast journalist, professional speaker and podcaster, you could say I love my voice. I am also a huge fan of radio, podcasts and audiobooks. It’s my favourite method of consuming content. 

So knowing that, it will come as no surprise that I am really enjoying experimenting with audio and voice through AI. And in this episode I’m inviting you to get curious about how you can use AI voice in marketing. 

Video content is still king, but producing high-quality voiceovers can be costly and time-consuming. 

For cash-strapped teams, this is an easy way to keep your audiences informed and engaged without spending weeks in production.

So how can you practically use AI voice?
