    This AI Meeting Assistant Records Without Ever Joining the Call as a Bot (Cool Tools 78)

    Andrew Miles Davis marks 78 weeks of Cool Tools Tuesday with three tools recommended directly by listeners rather than sourced by him, with no affiliate or sponsorship ties to any of them. Sidelong.app promises to combine research, writing, and publishing into a single workflow, and Andrew flags a personal use case, uploading nearly three years of podcast transcripts to potentially generate that same length of social media content. Olva.ai offers bot-free real-time meeting transcription that records audio directly from a device without needing to formally join a call, positioned as an alternative for people uncomfortable inviting a visible AI assistant like Fathom or Otter into meetings while still wanting the transcript benefits. Jobseeker.com rounds out the three, an AI-powered platform for building CVs, cover letters, and tracking applications that a listener credited with directly helping them land a job, though Andrew notes it currently appears geared toward US and EU users with the UK notably absent from its country selector. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for three new tools every Tuesday, sourced from what's actually working for real listeners.

    Why Prompting Well Will Stop Being Impressive and Judgement Will Become the Real Skill

    Andrew Miles Davis argues that one of the biggest mistakes marketers can make is assuming AI simply lets them do the same job faster, when in fact it is fundamentally shifting where marketing value sits. Drawing on his ten years in the music industry, he compares the emerging marketer role to a music producer, someone whose value lies not in playing every instrument but in knowing what good sounds like and directing the process toward it. He explores what happens to value when production becomes cheap, using music's shift from paid cassettes to free streaming as a parallel, and argues that judgement, taste, and the ability to spot technically competent but boring or off-brand work will matter more than the ability to prompt well. He warns against mistaking polished-looking AI output for genuinely good thinking, and closes with a practical challenge: pick one task you produce repeatedly, like a weekly report or email copy, and start building a process where AI handles more of the production while you focus entirely on the decisions. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for daily ten-minute episodes exploring where AI is genuinely changing the shape of marketing work.

    ChatGPT's Ad Business Hit a Billion Dollar Run Rate in Under 200 Days (AI News This Week)

    Andrew Miles Davis covers a week defined by AI facing pressure on multiple fronts, starting with OpenAI's advertising business reaching a billion dollar annualised run rate in under 200 days as self-service ad buying expands across India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, a development Andrew is openly hoping fails given his long-held concerns about ads eroding trust in AI-generated answers. He covers Australia's music industry body barring fully AI-generated tracks from official charts following controversy over an AI-assisted Madonna cover, Sony and Warner suing Anthropic for allegedly torrenting and scraping songs to train Claude and seeking up to $150,000 per song, and the US government weighing in on the New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI in favour of fair use, framed around not falling behind the rest of the world on AI development. Other stories include Instagram replacing its optional AI creator label with a blunter AI-generated tag that throttles reach for undisclosed AI content, a survey suggesting older content creators are becoming more valuable to brands seeking credibility in an AI-saturated market, Time magazine's fourth annual Time 100 AI list sparking debate over the inclusion of celebrities like Paris Hilton and Ben Affleck alongside traditional tech figures, and a study showing AI can measure heart fat in under two seconds compared to fifteen minutes manually, with significant implications for cardiovascular risk assessment. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for the AI news that matters to marketers, every Friday in ten minutes.
