Happy Friday Everyone! Before AI. Before nonprofits. Before all of this… I used to invent stuff as a professional inventor. One of my projects I'm most proud of was collaborating with a kinetic sculptor named Amos Robinson in San Diego. I just found out that one of the pieces we worked on got installed in the public! It’s a set of infinity mirrors, spinning on a 10-foot pedestal. I'm super excited and wanted to share with you all.

I'm freaking out (again) over the latest feature in ChatGPT and it's important you know about it. Last week, OpenAI rolled out a new capability inside ChatGPT called 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. So what is an an AI Agents compared to an AI Assistant. Here's the difference. 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: An AI chat is pre-trained to handle a specific task. You give it an input, and it follow their internal instructions. They are also called "Custom GPTs" within ChatGPT and "Gems" within Gemini 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁: An AI agent on the other hand, can go into your systems or on the internet and perform actions and go through multi-step problem solving. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲... • Read all your data within Sharepoint or Google Drive • Create a virtual windows machine and control a mouse • Open a browser and log into things on the internet • Find it's own research to complete a task • Create finished documents or presentation • Send emails on your behalf One of the current constraints of AI is all the copy and pasting from one system to another. Now AI can access your systems and get the information it needs and put the finished product somewhere more useful. A lot of AI experts are predicting that the future of AI is going to be AI agents that can perform complex mulit-step work. And it just got A LOT easier to start experimenting. If you’re a ChatGPT Plus user, you get 40 agent queries a month. That’s enough to start testing As always...I suggest starting with real-world use cases that actual help you with whatever is currently on your plate. Here is a helpful little guide to learn more (with some short videos) https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-agent/ If you give it try...be sure to report back and comment below so we can all learn.

I can be impulsive and regret buying stuff I don't need, so I built a custom AI tool to help me and it's been working! If this is something that you ever struggle with, I want to share it in case it helps you too! Here’s the problem: I'm constantly bombarded with marketing and it works. I see something I want, and my brain would go straight to 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘸. (which is exactly what marketers want) So I built a tool for myself that does two things: 1. Captures the things I’m thinking about buying the moment they pop into my head. 2. Helps me decide if they’re worth the money before I pull the trigger. Here’s how I use it: • I use the microphone button and say whatever I’m thinking about buying and describe a little bit of my reasoning • It adds everything to a running list. • Then it asks me follow-up questions so I can sort through what’s important and what’s just impulse. Now, when I’m at a store or open Amazon, I pull up the list. No more “I forgot what I needed so I better get it now” or “this looks nice, I’ll just grab it.” If you ever struggle with impulse purchases or just want to be more intentional with how you spend your money, this might be a simple way to take control of your spending.
