How I use AI in my daily work

Above is my contribution to Jerry Daykin's Open AI Mic project, sharing 5 AI workflows I rely on daily as CEO of Deft.

The AI Open Mic is an open submission 'podcast'/video series where people (primarily in the marketing/advertising world) can share their own explorations with AI - how they're using it in their day to day lives, and some of what they've learnt along the way.

In the video I cover:

Email Digest - Using Claude with email and calendar connectors to get smart summaries and suggested responses from the last 24 hours

Transcript Analysis - Going beyond automatic meeting notes to ask "what would humans miss?" and uncover deeper insights from conversations

Custom GPT Playbooks - Making complex marketing guidelines and legal regulations instantly searchable instead of hunting through decks

Share of Model - Tracking how brands appear across AI models compared to traditional organic search results

Agent Experiments - Testing new purchase journeys with tools like Operator and Manus (results are mixed but the space is moving fast)

If you’re interested in this space and want to push your own learning, I’d totally recommend submitting your own video, you can find out more here
