How is AI really affecting your job?

@Cohere_Labs released the Agentic Task Ecosystem, a new dataset of 690K+ tools built for AI agents. Under a test of whether a tool could independently complete an occupational task, just 2.6% passed.

Credibility is built by owning a number, reporting on it weekly, and moving quickly to fix gaps that will keep surfacing as the market changes. That's part of your job as a marketing leader.

What does "owning it" actually mean? You aren't waiting for finance to hand you the pipeline model... you build the model with them. And you include the headcount/capacity model finance worked with sales on.

THIS CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN A SILO.

And then you report on it. Here's how it looks at Docebo: Every pipeline owner updates a shared Slack canvas answering the following prompts:
>> What's on track or off track?
>> What's broken and what we're doing about it?
>> What should change in the next week or two?
>> Updated forecast of where we think we are going to end the quarter

💸 kimi-k2.6 users, check this:

Coresync: $0.70 / M input
Official: $0.95 / M

That's 26% cheaper — same model,
same reasoning quality.

Your tokens. Your money. Less spent.

@kyleplacy 🍿need to go check this out...

[Butler J. Raines @ButlerRaines]

@ganainmtech I did!

[Butler J. Raines @ButlerRaines]

@NotaLlamaNFT @d13_co @new_heave I didn't get a failed response but the terminal command did stall without returning a message.

Eventually just checked the version, and it said it was updated.

[DIIISCO @DIIISCOHQ]

Last October we created DIISCO at the @easya_app London Hacakathon. Since then we’ve shared DIIISCO in Parliament and with the AI Minister @KanishkaNarayan.

Now EasyA is doing a hackathon IN Parliament, so you can live our year in one afternoon. It’s insane.

See you there 🇬🇧

[DIIISCO @DIIISCOHQ]

Last month we had the chance to meet @KanishkaNarayan, MP for AI, and hear about his vision for Sovereign AI. We know decentralised AI will play a big part of this and we’re committed to making DIIISCO an active player in communities across the UK.
