How do we measure AI fluency at Zapier?

Here are some role-by-role examples 🧵

Finally found the dang password to this thing.

Sorry y’all. What’d I miss?

@EphraimGopin That’s amazing, congratulations!! You must feel so great coming out of that presentation—I hope you had a well deserved break ✨

🤔 "Most people don't know how to learn because they fry their brain with podcasts and YouTube videos and books and textbooks and social media. And six months later, after learning so much, they have nothing to show for it."

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The best skill you can learn is how to learn.

Because the faster you learn the skills that allow you to achieve what you're trying to achieve, the faster you achieve it.

Here's how to learn 10x faster than anyone:

@EphraimGopin Getting settled and organized has definitely been an uphill slope. But I'm trying to get my groove back! How is your week going?

@EphraimGopin Hi, Ephraim!

"Breaks are where sleep was 15 years ago—underrated but essential.

The best ones?

Move instead of sit, go outside, be social, and fully detach. If you’re not taking quality breaks, you can't perform at your best."

I just fell for one of the best scams I've seen on X.

Here's what you need to know (and how to avoid it):

Super Bowl's next week, but I've already watched all the ads.

Here are the best ones:

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Leaders must communicate that it’s OK not to respond to things in real-time, that it’s OK to decline meeting requests, that it’s OK to turn off notifications, and that it’s OK to not be online all day. https://t.co/c1SqgIpiry

British mobile operator 02 created an AI voice bot called “Daisy” to combat phone scammers.

Daisy is an “elderly grandmother” that isn’t very good with technology. She’s a bit hard of hearing and goes on random tangets ahout knitting and food recipes.

Scammers waste time chatting with her instead of scamming real people.

Glorious.

A helpful collection of productivity tools and tips from @mariogabriele, including an overview of how he uses Claude AI for note taking. I've been eying @NotionHQ for notes but will add Claude to my list of options to test.

Four years after the great remote-work experiment began, the public debate has boiled down to: Bosses hate it and workers love it. But research tells a messier story.

@JerusalemDemsas explores who really benefits from remote work: https://t.co/j6tLTL56Zq

OK I want something I've never, EVER asked for:

a motivational book.

GASP.

Yeah, I wanna get pumped the f*ck up.

I wanna read something that'll get me fired up to do more.

WHAT YA GOT.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

The topic is decluttering books -- Anyone out there have advice for donating, getting rid of, or organizing an excess of books? What mental tricks or systems do you use to thin books out of your house? I have a strange difficulty here... Thanks for any and all thoughts!

[Amy Sept @amysept]

@KENNETH_ANYANG @Upwork Thanks so much for your feedback, @KENNETH_ANYANG, I'm thrilled to hear it helped you get a smooth introduction to Upwork. Wishing you all the very best as you move your business forward!! 🎉

[Amy Sept @amysept]

Speaking with #dataviz expert Aurélie Dussenne was so inspiring! Not only does she make data engaging + understandable, but she's also a mom who's building a business on @upwork so she can prioritize her son while doing work she's excited about.

@SueHorner What a wonderful accomplishment, Sue! Congratulations 🎉

@KevinBenSmith Thanks for creating a great app! I really appreciate how easy Snipd makes it to highlight/capture interesting bits, it’s a feature that feels really overlooked in the podcast space.

[Amy Sept @amysept]

On podcast apps 🎙️ @CastroPodcasts has stopped working again 😢 This time I’m done. If you also need a new app, I’m excited about @snipd_app:
> Save clips + add notes
> Insights from “popular snips”
> In-app show notes
> Queue vs Inbox
…I’m still exploring the AI features.
