Join me as I chat with Rowan Cheung about how he uses practical AI workflows that help his small team at The Rundown operate like a much larger organization. He demonstrates how they use AI for content creation (including AI avatars and writing assistance), business operations (meeting scheduling and email management), and team efficiency (onboarding and research). Each workflow includes specific tools, prompts, and implementation strategies that listeners can adopt for their own businesses.

Key Points
• Rowan uses AI avatars (HeyGen + 11Labs) to create short-form video content, showing only the avatar briefly while using B-roll for most of the video
• Voice dictation combined with Claude AI trained on personal writing style creates Twitter/social media content that's "90% ready"
• Lindy AI serves as a meeting scheduling agent that works 24/7 without requiring Calendly links
• Perplexity Comment functions as an AI tutor for YouTube videos, allowing users to ask questions about video content
• Custom GPT for new hire onboarding eliminates repetitive questions by containing company SOPs, policies, and team information
