What’s my next meeting today?

Who’s the client?

Have they paid their invoices?

Three different systems or one AI to rule them all?

Well, it’s starting to be the latter.

Let me show you how.

My recommendation for the main AI tool you should use in your business has changed.

Not because of a new shiny feature.

Because two quiet things happened at the same time:

One: Copilot got smarter.

Two: Copilot became easier to roll out.

And when those two line up, the decision becomes simple.

This week I gave Claude the keys.

Not to my thinking. To my computer.

I've been experimenting with Claude Cowork, Anthropic's new desktop agent.

We've seen AI work in the browser before, but this is different. This is AI operating the whole computer, not just a tab.

If you've heard me talk about the Three Bridges: Playbooks, Context, and Hands, this is Hands. Properly, finally, Hands (for the newcomers: Hands means AI that acts, not just advises).

This year, AI is becoming part of our workflow. Not just a tool we chat with.

We are starting to see AI agents, AI flows that run in the background, AI chatbots that specialise in certain tasks.

We are really heading towards little AI employees that we can assign tasks to, or that can own tasks and workflows themselves.

And we need to learn how to make all of this happen.

So I prepared a curriculum for you. Two free webinars over the next two weeks. Two hands-on workshops in March and May.

Here's what's coming so that you can choose what you should attend:

Two AI stories have been everywhere this week.

One: the AIs have got themselves a social network called Moltbook, and they’re talking about their humans and conspiring.

The second: there’s a new website where AIs are hiring humans to do work for them in the real world. It’s called Rent-a-Human.

Is this it? Are they taking over?

When I hear big claims like these, I go and look at how it actually works, so I can understand what’s really happening.

And I did just that.

So let me tell you what these things actually are, what’s going on under the hood, and then what I think we should and shouldn’t do.

Everyone is talking about Clawdbot.

The whole Internet is on it. There are endless videos showing how it can do EVERYTHING!

Ready to jump in and be part of the revolution?

Well, I say: not yet!

This is very, very early days.

This tool is still in innovator territory. It is simply not safe.

Let me tell you exactly what it is so you're totally clued in.

Then I'll tell you why we shouldn't use it right now, and what we should do instead.

I love my meeting assistant. I don’t go anywhere without it! Tons of magic is happening now that I have a written repository of (almost) all my conversations from the past months and years.

And now, there’s a step jump. For good, and for bad. The kind that takes some deep breathing to get used to.

In this video, I show you:

1. How AI meeting assistants are becoming active, agentic participants in our meetings

2. How they can become risky, uninvited infiltrators too…

Are you prepared for AI in 2026? This week we are taking stock. We will look at the foundations firms laid in 2025, so you can see where you are solid, where you have gaps, and what needs attention before the next wave of AI lands.

In 2025, most of the work was about foundations:

• Aligning leaders so they pull in the same direction

• Selecting secure AI tools

• Creating and updating AI policies

Now, in 2026, those foundations meet the next phase: AI agents, smarter workflows, and tools that can act inside your systems.

Welcome to the new year!

I am so ready for AI in 2026, because this is the year AI stops sitting in a separate chat window and really takes over some tasks and does them for us.

We are this much closer to AI employees that can take over entire tasks.

In 2025 we laid the foundations. We selected our tools, created policies, trained our teams, and built an AI‑literate workforce.

Now those people are asking a new question:

When will it do my tax return for me? When will it annotate the contract for me? When will it prepare the case?

Why you need to understand AI Agents and AI Employees?

First, so you can implement what is ready.

Second, so that when people try to sell you AI agents or AI employees, you can tell whether they are offering something genuinely valuable or something you could build yourself in one prompt.

There are three gaps between today’s technology and AI Agents that can actually do the work for you.

We need to understand where each one is at, and what we can do today:

Today I'm giving you a holiday gift. Because it’s the holidays and because it's summer here in Australia, that makes me extra happy.

It's a gift I gave myself a few months ago, and now I want to give it to you.

The gift? The superpower to create your own accountability tracker.

So you can design the best way for you to make those New Year resolutions really come true.

I'm not selling you an app. I'm showing you how I built mine so you can build yours.

AI can now do maths, not because it is getting better at predicting the next number, like it predicts text, but because it's become a reasoning layer that knows when to use tools.

This weekend I wasted half an hour redoing work I'd already finished—all because I didn't ask AI for what I really wanted.

Would you like to see great prompts used by different professionals in multiple industries, written by the best and most experienced people on the planet?

OpenAI just released a list of over 200 of those, with the entire prompt and all the attachments and how they were used.

It’s NOT a "list of 200 prompts you must use today". I don’t like those at all!

It is an insightful database to dig into, start a conversation and get inspired.s

Sometimes platforms offer two features that look identical, and we're left wondering which one to use. The answer isn't in the launch announcement.

It's in watching which feature gets the developers love: that is: upgrades, improvements, new capabilities

Every so often, I have one of those admin-type tasks I just don’t want to do myself.

Things like copying and pasting data. Updating details. Keeping track of long lists.

It feels like AI should be able to do it for me.

And well, some apps are starting to do just that for us.

Today I show you Notion AI.

Everyone talks about agents all the time and it sounds very advanced and very complex, but really it can be very simple.

In this video, you’ll see how to create your first SharePoint agent. I demo it with an agent that can discuss company policies, then I give some examples of what else you can use it for.

Today we will look at some great updates coming out of ChatGPT that you’ll want to know about.

Next week we will give love to Microsoft users, looking at SharePoint Agents.

In today's video, you’ll see how ChatGPT now lets you share projects, connect company knowledge, and take action for you in the new browser, Atlas.

Today we’re one step closer to AI that truly sits on our devices, can see everything we’re doing, and can chat with us about it.

No more screenshots, no more uploads, no need to give it context.

It just lives with us.

This is where we’re going.

AI comes to our world rather than us having to go to it.

In the video, I share Microsoft’s new capability called Copilot Vision.

Licence options for AI apps are confusing.

Mostly because of questions around security of our data.

Let’s tidy it up, at least for now, until it changes again 😃.

We will focus on Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. The free, the paid, and the 'included in your Microsoft account'.

We all know that the more context we give AI, the better the responses are going to be.

But it’s a lot of effort to start explaining everything.

Sometimes we just need something done quickly, so we give less context, and we compromise our result.

In the video, I show how to make this process a lot easier.

The magic is called context blocks. I'll show you how I use them and, how I easily create them.
