Every AI assistant I’ve tried follows the same script: you type a command, it does a thing, you thank it like a polite human, and then you type the same command again tomorrow. It’s manual labor wearing a robot costume. So when I heard about IrisGo — an AI desktop companion that learns your workflows by watching you do them once — I had to see if it actually delivers. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. If you run a business alone, you know the feeling. You wake up to 14 customer messages. Some are simple — “what’s your return policy?” Some are urgent — “I paid but haven’t received anything.” Some are just… weird. And every single one needs a response, because ignoring customers is how businesses die. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. You paste a prompt. The AI returns three paragraphs that sound like every LinkedIn post you’ve ever scrolled past. Generic opener. Vague advice. A closing line about “leveraging synergies.” You close the tab and think the tool is broken. It’s probably not the model. It’s the input. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Your boss just sent an email. All employees must now use AI tools — every day, tracked, leaderboard’d, and metric’d. Welcome to 2026, where using AI isn’t optional anymore, and the people who work at Amazon have already invented a word for what happens next: tokenmaxxing. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I don’t have a computer science degree. I don’t know how to code. But I automated 80% of my coaching business using tools that cost me exactly zero dollars. Here’s the exact workflow — every step, every tool, and what actually worked versus what was a waste of time. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Here’s something I didn’t expect to happen this fast: the biggest shift in AI isn’t a better model. It’s a model that decides which model to use. AI orchestrators are exactly what they sound like — one system that routes your request to the best AI for the job. Need to write code? It sends it to Claude. Need to analyze a spreadsheet? Gemini. Need a quick answer? GPT. You don’t choose. The orchestrator chooses for you. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. ChatGPT is fine. It was the first AI most people tried, and for a long time it was the only serious option. That’s not true anymore. In 2026, there are at least seven tools that match ChatGPT in some areas and beat it in others. The question isn’t “should I switch?” — it’s “which tool fits the specific thing I’m trying to do right now?” ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I keep getting the same DM: “I run a small business. I’ve never used automation. Should I start with Make or Zapier?” And every time, I want to give a different answer — because the honest answer is “it depends,” and nobody who’s drowning in manual work wants to hear that. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Something happened this week that most people outside the developer world completely missed. Cursor — the AI code editor that’s already changing how people build software — released an SDK. And if you’re someone who’s never written a line of code, this matters more than you think. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I switched from Claude to Cursor’s new Composer 2.5 three weeks ago. My AI bill dropped 90%. And honestly? It does things Claude won’t even try. That’s not hyperbole. Cursor released Composer 2.5 on May 18th, and the benchmarks say it matches Claude Opus 4.7 — the top-tier paid model — at a fraction of the cost. But benchmarks are benchmarks. What actually matters is what happens when you use the thing every day for real work. I’ve been testing it across my automation projects, blog builds, and client workflows, and I need to tell you what I found. ...
