I like doing interesting things. Mostly with technology, sometimes not. I have an active imagination and enjoy applying it to business.

@dee_hw Want in. I've spent a year hand-building worse versions of this: hacked a smart ring's firmware into push-to-talk for my coding agent, a macro pad for accept/interrupt, and two ESP32 companions that tell me which of a dozen Claude Code sessions is blocked. London CTO, keen.

@ollama Macos only for now? Any windows plans? @ollama

@KeychronMK Been hand-building this for months — ring firmware reverse-engineered into push-to-talk for my coding agent; macro pad desk version; biosignal trigger in build. My 3 buttons: hold-to-talk, accept/Enter, interrupt/Esc. Full pitch in your support queue — ticket 650417

Any business sleeping on AI will fall massively behind

A new study shows that AI-leveraged workers complete tasks 25.1% quicker and with 40% higher quality

If you're a CEO, leader or manager, start acting now

Here are 8 simple strategies how to implement AI into your business:

1/ Create a prompt library

→ Create a prompt library that everyone in the company has access to
→ Create a process how your teams can edit and iterate on prompts
→ Create resuable snippets that can be copied into your prompts to feed in context (such as a product or persona description)

2/ Appoint an AI officer

→ Find the most AI enthusiastic or knowledgeable team member and appoint them as the your AI officer
→ Their job will be to raise awareness of AI within the company

3/ Set up an AI slack channel

→ Give your team the chance to share AI developments, tools and advice with other colleagues
→ Create an environment for your team to discuss ideas they have around AI

4/ Drive a MVP project

→ It can be something as simple as implementing ChatGPT into your marketing team's blog-writing process
→ Another idea is to embed an AI chatbot on your website. There are plenty of tools that let you do this in seconds.
→ It's ok to start small!

5/ AI Workshops

→ Conduct a ChatGPT workshop
→ Find a team member to do it or hire someone externally

6/ Buy all team members a ChatGPT or Claude Plus membership

→ Probably the highest ROI you will ever get, since your AI outputs will be higher quality
→ Several companies have done this and are already seeing results

7/ Set ChatGPT or Claude as everyone's home page in Chrome

→ This increases the likelihood your team members will use AI and helps them to create a habit
→ In Chrome go to Settings > Appearance > Show Home Button and set ChatGPT or Claude's URL

8/ Turn on privacy mode in ChatGPT

→ Many companies don't allow ChatGPT because they're concerned about privacy issues. But they don't know that ChatGPT has privacy control features
→ In Settings, toggle off "Chat history & training" to prevent OpenAI from using your data for training

Just clocked that @powerpoint was released the same year I was born. Not sure which of us is adjusting better to newer market entrants. @zapier https://t.co/RIBMLCNlqL

#bouncerate is dead in Ga4 #engagementrate is better but it's still a vanity trap. Let's use the opportunity to ask and answer better questions of our website/app data and educate clients? https://t.co/mBNMH0nq84

Looking forward to #gml2022 - Privacy & measurement look to be taking centre stage in many of the sessions. Is it enough? What subjects are you most looking forward to exploring? I'm particularly curious to see how conversations around #GA4 enter the mix today @Google

@intercomsupport @kpetterman @intercom Hey @intercom just so you know this still isn't resolved after 10 months - I've also lost access to some key features (which happens every 2 weeks) what's the timeline for getting something simple like this sorted for an annual customer

[Dan Pillay @DanPillay87]

@intercomsupport @kpetterman @intercom That's great - they've been working on that since March though...I think they might need a hand...
