I'm baaack after 7 days of holiday! ๐
Here's how I catch up on AI in just 2 hours
(including a link to my exact prompt)
I've just returned from 7 days in a sleepy country cottage in Norfolk with my family and the dog.ย
Lovely long walks on beaches and in forests
Soothing tired screen-frazzled eyes with books
Stuffing my face with fresh farm shop food
Random day-drinking over giggly board games
...absolutely lush.
It's also so nice to be reminded that I do have a personality and stuff to talk about still outside of work. This Founder life can be all-consuming, and it's so easy to forget yourself, isn't it?
Anyway, getting back up to speed always feels like I'm standing on a bridge, about to jump onto a bullet train to fight baddies or something.
But I've now got the AI catch-up bit down to a fine art.

I'll spend the first hour perusing the top AI news creators* across the various channels:
โข Matt Wolfe โ YouTube
โข The AI Advantage โ YouTube
โข Allie K Miller โ LinkedIn
โข Ruben Hassid โ LinkedIn
โข Rowan Cheung โ X & Newsletter (๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ)
โข Ethan Mollick โ X & Substack (๐๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ด๐ฆ๐ง๐ถ๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ)
โข Andrew Ng โ LinkedIn
โข Marketing AI Institute โ Spotify
โข Ben Tossell โ Newsletter (๐๐ฆ๐ฏโ๐ด ๐๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ด)
๐ก Top tip: If there's lots going on I'll pop a list of URLs into a NotebookLM knowledge hub and then ask for all of the key points.

All the AI chatbots now have this, but so few people seem to know it's there.ย ย To find it:
ChatGPT - Click the plus sign - Deep Research
Claude - Research button under the chat box
Geminiย ย - Toggle button next to plus sign - Deep Research
Copilot - Agents - Built by Microsoft - Researcher
Then I'll prompt to gather all the news while I go off and have a coffee.
My prompt is too long for this post so I've put it into a G doc for you: https://lnkd.in/eK75vgX6
(Make sure you add the date into the bit I've highlighted yellow - LLMs don't tend to know the date.)
It isn't instant - it'll take about 10 minutes.
Then click into each link and have a better read.
๐ก Top tip: Amend the prompt to focus on your specific industry or function, add trusted sources, etc.ย ย Make it yours!
And that's it - 2 hours and you'll find yourself up to date on what's happening.
You'll notice a woeful lack of female AI news creators in there, apart from Allie.ย ย Can I please get some recommendations for females who are quick off the mark with AI updates?
PS If I started to report on the AI news on YouTube, would that be something you'd watch? Maybe a rundown of what's happened that week? | 113 comments on LinkedIn
