Join me, Nik ( https://x.com/CoFoundersNik ), as I interview Liz Knopf ( https://x.com/leveragedupside ) about the latest developments in AI and what they mean for boring businesses.

This week was massive, and we're finally seeing real-world applications of AI that move beyond the hype. We dive into the recent layoffs at major tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, Google, Workday, Intuit, and CrowdStrike, discussing how they signal a shift towards prioritizing AI infrastructure and boosting efficiency.

Liz shares insights on how companies like Duolingo and Shopify are going AI-first and seeing incredible results. We also explore why, despite automation and companies like Klarna automating roles, human skills and interaction are becoming even more critical.

Plus, we get hands-on with Custom GPTs, discuss their "actions" feature for integrating with tools like Zapier via APIs, navigate the challenges of AI hallucinations, and look at tools like Notebook LM and Claude projects for extracting value from data using RAG12.
