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.

Three AI Tools I Used the Most in May and Why One of Them Literally Reduces My Physical Pain
May 2800:07:19Tap 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)
May 2700:09:17Tap 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)
May 2600:10:34Tap 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)
May 2500:09:31Tap 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.

He also covers OpenAI laying groundwork for an IPO that could value the company at one trillion dollars, Anthropic launching Claude FM as a round-the-clock ambient radio station on YouTube, Spotify and Universal Music Group announcing a landmark deal making AI-powered fan remixes legal with artists receiving a cut, and a film screening at Cannes with a total budget of half a million dollars, eighty percent of which went on AI compute.

May 2100:09:41Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis answers 11 randomly generated questions covering AI, digital marketing, and things you would not find on his website, including the most unnecessary purchase he has made recently, the marketing metric he thinks people obsess over despite it mattering less every year, and the strangest complaint he has ever received from a client that came because something worked too well.

The Real Power of AI Images Is Not That They Look Good. It Is What They Replace. (AI Image Use Cases)
May 2000:09:06Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis continues his use case series with a focus on AI image generators, breaking down seven ways he has seen real organisations use tools like ChatGPT Images, Midjourney, and Ideogram to solve actual business problems rather than just produce impressive-looking output. From social media content and product visualisation to training materials, pitch decks, and event graphics, each use case comes with a practical framing drawn from Andrew's training sessions and client work. He also addresses the transparency question around labelling AI-generated images and the hybrid approach of using AI for post-production on real photography rather than generating from scratch. The episode closes with a line worth remembering: the businesses that create and test ideas fastest will usually beat the ones still waiting in approval chains.

Supercomputer Is the Word You Are Going to Hear a Lot Before the End of This Year (Cool Tools)
May 1900:10:14Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis covers three tools on this week's Cool Tools Tuesday, anchored by a shift he thinks is about to define the rest of 2026, the move from standalone AI tools to unified AI workspaces where multiple models, agents, memory, and automation sit in a single environment. He introduces Higgs Field Supercomputer, an expansion from the video aggregator he already pays for into a broader AI operating system that combines Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others under one roof with shared memory and agent capabilities. He also covers Komos, an AI powered research and automation platform sitting between a large language model and an operating system, and rounds off with Guideless, a Chrome extension that records your screen workflow and automatically turns it into a narrated tutorial video ready to share or embed. Andrew is transparent that he has not tested all three himself yet, which is a useful reminder of how fast this space is moving. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for three new tools every Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola Has Thoughts About AI and He Is Not Wrong (AI Reaction Episode)
May 1800:10:17Tap to summarizeAndrew Miles Davis reacts to a clip of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola being asked about AI at a press conference, breaking down four points from Guardiola's answer that he thinks cut closer to the real issues than most AI commentary does. Guardiola raises concerns about fake quotes and fabricated opinions being attributed to public figures, the industrialisation of misinformation at a scale and speed that was never previously possible, the risk of intellectual laziness as people stop thinking through problems themselves, and the simple honesty that nobody actually knows where any of this ends. Andrew uses each point to reflect on what he has been teaching in training rooms for years, including his line that AI should replace friction not thinking, and why trust and reputation are becoming survival tools rather than just marketing advantages.
