Monday Morning Treadmill Time

It is 9.51 on Monday morning. I am on my walking pad and I have three monitors in front of me.   I’ve barely touched a single key on my keyboard.   I have six different tools running simultaneously.   I’m talking to all of them through Monologue, dictating what I want, watching them work. It genuinely feels like I’m conducting an orchestra that is orchestrating my entire day’s work while I’m walking.

Over the weekend, I was playing with a new tool, which is an AI system that I can message via WhatsApp or Telegram or iMessage. It does work, sends me back the results.

If it gets something wrong, I explain what’s gone wrong, it learns, fixes bugs, and gets better for the next time.

If you want to know how powerful this thing is?

There are a lot of people in the tech and AI space who are buying separate five to six hundred pound Apple Mac minis just to run these personal AI systems on, completely separate from their own laptop, their own computer, their own work.

They’re training them on their own workflows, their own preferences and then letting them run to code and build things pretty much 24/7.

Meanwhile, coaches are still using ChatGPT to write captions.

I think people have switched off to AI a bit. They think that nothing’s really changed.

Which is true in a way - ChatGPT is the same, the models are relatively similar. The interface is the same. The output is exactly the same.

But there’s been a ton of change. It’s just not happened in the LLMs.

The synchronisation across different apps, the ability to chain tools together, the voice interfaces, the agentic work where tools will learn and improve over time, that is where everything has completely shifted.

Most coaches are looking at the front door thinking that nothing has changed while the entire back end of the house has been completely knocked down and rebuilt.

Work for me is going to look so fundamentally different this year compared to last year because I am now in a position with my systems where I am learning how to conduct them.

If you feel like AI is just a way that it comes up with ideas and writes stuff for you, you are not using AI to its full potential.

You’re not even close.
