In this episode, we reflect on our journey with AI over the past year, sharing how we use AI in both our personal and professional lives. Broadcasting from the Bay Area this time, we explore practical, day-to-day applications of AI tools, discussing how we've evolved from experimenting to leveraging AI for true productivity gains. We share personal insights, like using Perplexity for deeper research, creating custom GPTs to better communicate with diverse work teams, and even translating a family novel with AI from Hungarian into an English audiobook for future generations. The conversation covers AI use cases across different tools—Claude, Gemini, GPT, and more—and includes practical tips for integrating AI into workflows while staying compliant with corporate policies.

Tune in to hear about:

• The impact of voice interfaces and custom GPT personas on daily productivity.
• Lessons learned from hosting an AI innovation tournament with over 200 teams.
• Best practices for balancing AI-driven convenience with data security and compliance.
• Examples of using AI for translations, personalized research, and ideation across multiple business functions.

Join us as we dive into real-world AI strategies and share insights on staying productive and focused in a rapidly changing tech landscape. As always, we want to hear your own daily AI applications in the comments!
