@Franco Sorrentino I am a clothing designer. My hands are my trade. ✂️ Like you, I have used AI for passive research until recently. Now I see AI as this incredible executive assistant who takes care of my calendar, my customer communications, invoicing, promotions, blog posts and prospecting for new clients. It polishes my client communications, explores issues that I may not even realize are a benefit for my business. It helps me identify good prices on textiles, new trends in manufacturing. It edits my presentations for the bank and other funding opportunities. That means I can being doing what I do best. Designing. And having the time to travel and be inspired further. This is my second kick at the can. In the 80s + 90s I hustled hard to work in film, theatre and establish a private client base. It was impossible for one person. I burned out. I stepped away for 20 years, became a rockstar executive assistant with client communications in the luxury space. I'm ready to get back on the saddle. But I definitely need my AI partner to do it. You will find aspects of AI that elevate your work, I am sure of it.

@Molly Benson Super interesting. I prompted my agentic AI on the most fundamental question, a comparison between Copilot (my current agent) and Raspberry.ai that I am hearing a lot about in the creative industries (I am a clothing designer and aleady reap the operational efficiencies, but this is more than that as you know. See attached, download for full content, for some reason this platform only clips the view of my Word document here, but you can read the entirely if you download it. NOTE: this is only a fraction of the incredible content generated, a really amazing response! PS MS Copilot is now partnered with Claude.

@Gina Zeluni Claude has intense agentic capability. Microsoft has integrated Anthropic’s Claude models into its ecosystem, allowing users to select Claude alongside GPT within Microsoft 365 Copilot. I have this. It is amazing.

@Gina Zeluni You don't need Microsoft (MS). My understanding is that Claude AI is a tool that is available outside of MS. I just happen to have an M365 Personal plan (that gives me all of the Microsoft software like Excel, Outlook, Word...) Google has its own business tools too. Good luck with your adventure.

Provide me with daily and weekly meeting summaries (context coming from emails and calendar), along with relevant documents/presentations/ images that I have created and saved in my digital file folders, and research content that briefs me on the status of each of the stakeholders at these upcoming meetings. And as important, using the same contextual sources, providing me with prospects and their profiles, recent activities, etc and suggesting tailored prospect emails for each of these.

Building my business right now, and AI (M365 Copilot) has been a significant collaborator, as I am clarifying brand identity, ideal client and product benefits focus. I prompted on web design and was extremely pleased with the rich content. Lookin forward to the Summit!

@Mark Kurywczak I have loved my AI journey so far. It is not unreasonable to suggest that humility and emotional intelligence have a place in AI conversations. Prompting needs to be clear, objective and respectful of the AI partner. I don't act as if it assumes anything. Having done client facing work for many years, I see emotional intelligence as a strength when prompting AI (probe, probe, probe). M365 Copilot has been a genius partner. I am definitely gaining massive insight as a consequence. My business plan is exponentially improved. One notable example, the development of my Brand Foundations is spectacular. The language, the process, the content is industry ready. Gorgeous. A big deal is thinking of who your true audience is, telling AI this and then running with the glorious ideations that follow.
