How are you coping with this whole global pandemic thing? I'm in Melbourne in lockdown 6.0 and it's pretty tough going. I feel like I'm more reliant on my devices than ever before - it's like a window to the outside world. But I have a feeling that checking ABC news 10 times a day isn't very good for my mental health. So in today's show, I have an alternative to share.

The AI world has has done a spectacularly bad job of naming things. Agents, GPTs, gems, notebooks, projects, skills - you'll find a completely different word for what is essentially the same kind of tool. Agents in one place, GPTs in another, gems somewhere else. Different names, similar ideas - and no handbook to tell you that. 

But the tools themselves are not that complicated. Once you know what each one is built to do, knowing which to reach for becomes straightforward. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I cut through the jargon and map out what Agents, Projects, and Skills actually are, how they differ from each other, and which one to reach for depending on what you need to do. 

How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm. 

What you'll learn: 
Why agents, GPTs, and gems are the same kind of thing (just with different names) 
When a project is the right choice over an agent 
What makes a skill different from a long prompt 
Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 
Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 
How to use AI at work without burning out 
Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load

How I AI: Agents, Projects, and Skills (oh my!): A no-fluff guide on when to use each one

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/2151e272-164f-43cb-85e5-b48a00628405/transcript

What if the stories you're most afraid to tell are the ones people most need to hear? 

Christian O'Connell has spent 28 years pulling stories out of strangers on live radio. He's had two number one breakfast shows on opposite sides of the planet. And yet off-air, he still catches himself at dinner with his family thinking he hasn't said anything funny in a couple of minutes, and that inner critic starting to spiral. 

In part one of our two-part conversation, I sit down with Christian to explore what he's learned from nearly three decades of live storytelling - and why most of us are telling our stories all wrong. 

Whether you tell stories for a living or you just want to hold a room for 30 seconds at a dinner party, this conversation will give you a completely different way to think about why some stories land and others don't. 

Christian and I discuss: 
The woodshed: the note-taking habit Christian uses so he's never stuck for something to say 
Why the stories you least want to tell are usually the ones that land hardest 
The two levels inside every story, and why most of us only ever tell one of them 
The physical test Christian uses to decide if a story is worth sharing 
Why the best storytellers relive rather than retell, and what that looks like in practice 
How speaking anxiety comes down to one thing, and it's not what most people think 

Key quotes 

"Vulnerability is the currency of great storytelling. If there's no vulnerability in here, there's no real connection in it." 

"The more you dial into the particulars of a story, somehow it becomes more universal."

Part 1: Christian O'Connell on the habit that means he never runs out of stories

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/4e7aea68-345d-458b-9dcf-b481003c93f1/transcript

You see another article. "This platform just changed everything." And suddenly, the AI platform you've been using for months feels completely inadequate. You wonder if you're behind. You wonder if you should switch again. 

Neo and I have had this conversation more times than we can count, and it's one of the questions we get asked constantly at Inventium AI. Which of the four major AI platforms, Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, should you actually be using? 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through the three questions you should ask yourself before committing to any platform, then go through each one in turn to unpack where it shines and where it falls short. By the end, you will have a clear enough picture to make a call, or at least know which one to try next. 

How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm. 

What you'll learn: 
The three questions to ask before committing to any AI platform 
Why your data's location could rule out certain options entirely 
Which platform actually plugs into your daily work apps 
How pricing models are shifting in ways that could blindside your budget 
What to weigh before moving your whole company over 
Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 
Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 
How to use AI at work without burning out 
Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load

You see another article. "This platform just changed everything." And suddenly, the AI platform&nbsp;you've&nbsp;been using for months feels completely inadequate. You wonder if&nbsp;you're&nbsp;behind. You wonder if you should switch again.&nbsp;
Neo and I have had this conversation more times than we can count, and&nbsp;it's&nbsp;one of the questions we get asked constantly at Inventium AI.&nbsp;Which of the four major AI platforms, Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, should you actually be using?&nbsp;
In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through the three questions you should ask yourself before committing to any platform, then go through each one in turn to unpack where it shines and where it falls short. By the end, you will have a clear enough picture to make a&nbsp;call, or&nbsp;at least know which one to try next.&nbsp;
How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;and reduce overwhelm.&nbsp;
What&nbsp;you'll&nbsp;learn:&nbsp;
