The Most Underrated AI Tool Right Now Is Not What Most People Would Guess (FAQs)
Jun 1100:09:33Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis answers three questions from recent training sessions, starting with whether you should default to asking ChatGPT what to do in most situations and why he personally still starts with YouTube for tutorials before reaching for a large language model. He then gives his most underrated tool pick for June 2026, Copilot, explaining a genuine change of opinion over three months of deeper use and why he now pays more for it than any other AI subscription, with a prediction that Microsoft is about to have a strong second half of the year. The episode closes with an honest explanation of why the Fortnightly Fix is on a summer break, what it would take to bring it back, and why YouTube and LinkedIn video are the current priority.

The Lack of AI Regulation Sounds Like a Problem Until You Ask Who Would Actually Do It (Golden Era Part 2)
Jun 1000:09:27Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis delivers the second instalment of his series on why the golden era of AI is coming to an end, this time focusing on regulation, or more precisely, the current absence of it. He argues that the lack of oversight, while genuinely dangerous in some contexts, is also one of the defining features of the current window of opportunity, because once a regulatory body forms, whether that is governments, tech companies, or large corporations, it will be shaped by whoever holds the power, and that will change how the rest of us get to use these tools. He walks through the realistic candidates for who could regulate AI, explains why each option carries its own serious problems, and lands on the conclusion that the decision made in the next few years will not just determine what AI can do but who gets to decide what ordinary people can do with it.

There Is Finally an AI Agent Built Specifically for WordPress and It Is Free (AI Cool Tools)
Jun 900:09:11Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers three tools on this week's Cool Tools Tuesday, leading with NovaMirror, a free AI agent plugin for WordPress that lets site owners ask plain language questions about their website, debug errors, rewrite pages in specific styles, and bulk-update product catalogues without touching a line of code. He describes it as the tool he has been looking for since he started wondering when WordPress would seriously enter the agentic AI space. He then covers 11 Labs Music version two, which introduces section-by-section song building, the ability to regenerate only the parts of a track you are unhappy with, and genre-blending within a single song, before giving his honest ranking of the current AI music tools. The episode closes with Undetectable AI, a tool that checks whether text will be flagged as AI-generated and which Andrew sees as most useful in training sessions when organisations want to know how to identify AI content rather than hide it.

How to Get Your Content Found Inside ChatGPT Not Just Google and Why It Matters More Than Ever
Jun 800:07:36Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis returns to his training insights series, sharing the two things he is seeing come up most consistently in corporate training sessions right now. The first is discoverability in AI, specifically how brands, freelancers, and organisations can get cited or mentioned inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot when someone asks a relevant question, a shift he describes as the most significant change to search in over twenty years. He walks through the basics of GEO and why Google's EEAT framework is still the foundation, shares a story of a global company finding him through ChatGPT after he optimised his own website, and explains why this topic is now appearing in every training session he delivers. The second trend is stylisation in presentations, covering how to train AI image tools to a consistent visual style and why more clients are asking about it after seeing his decks. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for daily ten-minute episodes built around what is actually happening in AI training rooms across the UK right now.

For the First Time in History Bots Are the Majority of Internet Traffic and Most Marketers Are Still Writing for Humans (AI News)
Jun 500:09:57Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers a week of news that includes a genuinely historic internet milestone, with a cybersecurity report confirming that automated bot traffic has for the first time surpassed human traffic online, with AI crawlers growing eight times faster than human web activity in the past year alone. He connects this directly to what it means for content creators and marketers who are still writing purely for human audiences. He also covers FIFA's AI-enabled World Cup ball that tracks position, spin, and speed hundreds of times per second to assist with offside decisions in real time, ChatGPT hitting one billion monthly active users faster than any consumer app in history, Anthropic filing for an IPO with a valuation approaching one trillion dollars, Meta's employee tracking programme facing a petition from over a thousand staff and resulting in a 30-minute personal pause as the compromise, and Martin Scorsese joining a generative AI firm as an advisor and describing the technology as creatively freeing to widespread backlash from the industry.

Debug My Thinking and Two Other Prompts That Will Change How You Use AI (Prompt Hacks)
Jun 400:08:34Tap 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. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for prompt hacks every other week and daily ten-minute AI insight built for marketers who want to think differently.

The Honest Breakdown of How Much AI Actually Goes Into Making This Daily Podcast (Podcast Workflow)
Jun 300:10:39Tap 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)
Jun 200:08:52Tap 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
Jun 100:10:42Tap 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)
May 2900:09:08Tap 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.
