In this first episode of Cut Through with AI, co-hosts Nihal Salah and Gil Chan kick things off with an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about how they’re actually using AI — not just to work faster, but to think more clearly, get ideas out of their heads, and reshape how they build.

They cover:

• Using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Replit to automate and accelerate real work
• How AI is helping them turn messy ambition into focused execution
• Why voice notes beat “perfect prompts”
• How AI can act as a thinking partner — especially when your brain’s wired a little differently
• And the ADHD diagnosis Nihal recently decided to talk about publicly — and how AI’s changed the game

This one’s real, a little raw, and intentionally unscripted. If you’re overwhelmed by the hype and just want to know how ambitious people are using AI day-to-day — you’ll feel right at home.
