You have access to AI. You probably use it a fair bit. And yet there's a good chance you're still manually scrubbing through meeting transcripts, tabbing between LinkedIn and Google News before every sales call, and spending 20 minutes writing an executive summary for a paper you just finished writing. 

That gap between having AI and actually letting it take things off your plate is where a lot of time quietly disappears.  

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through eight tasks that knowledge workers should never have to do manually again, and what it actually looks like to hand them off to agents. 

What you'll learn in this episde: 
Which meeting-related tasks are the easiest to hand off to an agent 
How to build a pre-meeting briefing agent for sales and business development 
Why editing and proofreading agents need very specific instructions to protect your voice 
Where inbox agents are most useful, and what they can and can't do for you 
How to think about agents when comparing options before a purchase decision 
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 

Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/neoaplin/) and via inventium.ai (https://inventium.ai), where he leads Inventium's AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams. 

 

How I AI with Dr Amantha Imber and Neo Aplin explores how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm.
