Episode 51 — Simple Ways to Start Implementing AI (and What’s Coming Next)

Ready to ditch the busy-work? In this episode, Jenna walks you through the no-brainer AI moves every designer can adopt today—think automatic note-takers, transcript-to-proposal workflows, and Canva templates that basically fill themselves. She then peeks around the corner at the next wave of “agentic” tools that will take the hand-offs completely off your plate. If you’re still handwriting full meeting notes or copy-pasting between five apps, this one’s your shortcut.

What we cover:

Why recording every meeting (in-person or virtual) should be non-negotiable

Turning transcripts and client questionnaires into polished proposals in minutes

Building a one-and-done branded template library for proposals and mood boards

Quick image-generation tricks for concept boards and inspo decks

How to spot “AI-washing” and avoid tools that’ll vanish after the next big update

The coming jump to agentic AI—where the software chains your steps together and hits “send” while you sip coffee

Protecting your irreplaceable edge: human storytelling, strategy, and trend-setting
