Debug My Thinking and Two Other Prompts That Will Change How You Use AI (Prompt Hacks)
Yesterday00:08:34Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis delivers three prompt hacks built around a single observation that keeps coming up in his training sessions, that the people getting the most from AI are not the ones using it to produce more content, they are the ones using it to think better. The first prompt reframes a fear into a growth opportunity and asks for a pep talk in your own style, drawing on the idea that most fears beyond falling and loud noises are learned and therefore reversible. The second, borrowed from Reddit, asks AI to debug your thinking on any subject by identifying blind spots and logical leaps in your reasoning before you act on it. The third is a preparation prompt Andrew uses in his own teaching work, asking AI to strip a complex subject down to the three points you absolutely cannot afford to miss, borrowing from media training logic that has served him since his days in the music industry.

The Honest Breakdown of How Much AI Actually Goes Into Making This Daily Podcast (Podcast Workflow)
2d ago00:10:39Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis pulls back the curtain on the complete workflow behind In AI Nutshell, answering one of the questions he gets most often in training sessions, how he actually uses AI to produce a daily ten-minute podcast approaching 700 episodes. He walks through his monthly content calendar planning, how he batches recordings, why he never records on the morning an episode goes out, and exactly where AI enters and exits the process. The answer is more human than most people expect. AI is used for summarising news bullet points before Friday recordings, generating the titles, descriptions, WhatsApp hooks, and tags from the transcript afterwards, and occasionally writing the closing thought. The recording, the ideas, the delivery, and the perspective are all his. He closes with a point worth sitting with: in a world flooded with AI generated content, knowing there is a real human behind something is becoming the differentiator.

Some AI Tools Are Just Great Ideas That ChatGPT Will Replace in 6 Months (Cool AI Tools 64)
3d ago00:08:52Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers three tools on this week's Cool Tools Tuesday, anchored by a question he finds himself asking more and more when he comes across new AI products: is this a genuinely differentiated tool or just something ChatGPT could replicate with a good prompt? He uses Thumbnail Creator as the case study, explaining what it does well while being direct about why he is not sure how tools like this survive long-term. He then covers Umind, a database of thousands of curated image prompts sorted by platform and style that lets you find a look you like, copy the prompt, and adapt it rather than starting from scratch. The episode closes with Just Hire Me, a job hunting platform that works like a CRM, filtering and ranking opportunities, drafting CVs and cover letters, and handling outreach on the user's behalf. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for three new tools every Tuesday with honest verdicts from someone who will tell you when something is not worth paying for.

Heartbroken After the Champions League Final But Still Recording. Here Is What June Has in Store
4d ago00:10:42Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis opens June in a rare moment of honesty, recording this episode the evening after Arsenal lost on penalties in the Champions League final and admitting he is gutted. He still does a full look-back at May, where the studio came together to about 70 percent, vibe coding produced seven apps across the month despite heavy travel, and the expected big model updates turned out to be point releases rather than anything major. For June, he is focused on three things: where AI video storytelling goes as Google Omni and other tools make narrative quality the new differentiator, what role AI plays across the World Cup as the biggest global sporting event, particularly relevant given his ongoing work with FIFA member associations, and a packed training calendar covering Continental, the National Film and Television School, South Bank University, and TV producers across Wales and Cardiff.

ChatGPT Is About to Start Running Ads in the UK and Your LinkedIn Posts Are Already Feeding the Answers (AI News)
1w ago00:09:08Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers a week of AI news that has real implications for anyone working in marketing, starting with new data showing LinkedIn is now the second most cited source in AI chatbot answers for B2B queries, with plain text posts and articles making up 83% of all platform citations pulled by major AI models. He connects this directly to the news that OpenAI is rolling out mid-conversation advertising to the UK, Brazil, Japan, and other markets in the coming weeks, raising questions about what it means to share personal and professional information on what is becoming an ad platform. He also covers Uber burning through four years of AI budget in four months via Claude Code, China restricting overseas travel for private sector AI professionals it now considers national strategic assets, Goldman Sachs reversing its own research by claiming AI job displacement fears are overblown, Samsung chip workers winning a landmark wage deal tied to AI profits, and a South Korean YouTuber facing arrest for using AI to fabricate evidence that destroyed an actor's career.

Three AI Tools I Used the Most in May and Why One of Them Literally Reduces My Physical Pain
1w ago00:07:19Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis wraps up May with his monthly tool review, covering the three AI tools he actually used most outside of Whisper and his general large language model work. Google AI Studio earns its place for the second consecutive month as his first stop for app prototyping before committing credits to paid platforms like Manus or Lovable. Magnific, recently rebranded from FreePic after acquiring the platform, comes in for video generation work with a mention of its image enhancement feature that can bring old photographs up to current quality standards. The most personal pick of the three is Typeless, a voice dictation tool he introduced on Cool Tools Tuesday this month, which he uses not for its dictation but for a single navigation feature that lets him open any application by voice, reducing the hand and finger movement that has caused him daily pain for nearly twenty years. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for a daily ten-minute update on what is actually worth using, from someone running these tools in real client work every day.

How Can I Make Money With AI? (FAQs)
1w ago00:09:17Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis answers three questions from recent training sessions, starting with a simple one about why he keeps reaching for ChatGPT Images over Midjourney even though he pays for both, and giving a direct answer that draws a clear line between what each tool is actually best at. He then tackles the question he is increasingly getting in every training room, how to get content found inside AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini rather than just Google, explaining the shift from SEO to a probability-based visibility model and the three things every marketer should be tracking. The episode closes with the question that never stops coming up, how to actually make money with AI, and Andrew's honest answer about why short-term plays are rarely sustainable and what the medium to long-term approach actually looks like.

What If You Could Navigate Your Entire Computer With Just Your Voice (Cool Tools 63)
1w ago00:10:34Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers three tools on this week's Cool Tools Tuesday, leading with Cerno, a platform that turns any big question into a multi-model debate where different AI systems argue, challenge each other's reasoning, and arrive at a consolidated answer displayed on a navigable canvas. He also covers Typeless, a voice dictation tool he has added alongside Whisper primarily for its navigator feature which lets you open any app or website on your computer using only your voice, a genuine accessibility and productivity win for anyone looking to reduce time on the keyboard. The episode rounds off with Automat-ed, an AI book writing platform that goes beyond generating a manuscript to helping with course creation, marketing copy, YouTube content ideas, and author bios, making it useful even for people with no intention of publishing.

The Skill Gap Is Coming and Playing Catch-Up Will Cost You (Good Bad Ugly)
2w ago00:09:31Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis returns to his most popular talk format for another instalment of the good, the bad, and the ugly of generative AI. The good covers strategic planning, explaining how AI handles frameworks around vision, objectives, resources, goals, strategy, and tactics better than most people realise, and why this applies as much to planning a holiday as it does to running a business. The bad goes to the skill gap, arguing that the window to start learning AI without facing serious catch-up pressure is closing fast, and that unlike most learning curves, this one does not level off because the AI itself keeps advancing alongside the people using it. The ugly lands on attention hijacking, covering how AI-powered feeds are increasingly used to manipulate what people see, think, and feel at scale, with political and social consequences most people are experiencing without recognising the mechanism.
