Hey <<First Name>>

Understanding content quality is crucial in the AI era. What distinguishes your content and makes it stand out? This post introduces a system for determining whether the question "Is this good enough to hit publish?" is answered positively. Not every piece of content will meet the highest quality standard, but it's essential to evaluate your content to establish the right expectations.

AI Chatbots won't make Google Search obsolete (yet). In many use cases, sticking to Google will get you closer to what you're looking for faster. However, many of the drawbacks the author of this article points out by using AI chatbots instead of Google Search are technical details the developers of AI chat systems can solve over time. It is a straightforward exercise you can try: How many of your Google Search queries can be answered by AI, and do you see any benefit of getting that info via AI chatbot compared to getting it on Google?

AI features are added to your browser. It's time to explore those. Microsoft caught my attention by adding AI features to their browsers sidebar. Two use cases I found helpful:

Summarize articles: Using AI while being on a site, you can summarize an article or ask questions about it

Reviews: If you are overwhelmed by the number of reviews on a product page, ask your AI assistant to zoom in on specific areas you are interested in.

Microsoft is leading here by adding AI Copilot feature to their sidebar. In Chrome, you must rely on 3rd party extensions (some of them want your money).

• In issue 107 of this newsletter, I featured ElevenLabs, which offers a similar feature set but is more focused on cloning one's own voice. 

• OpenAI announced their own voice cloning feature but is cautious about sharing it with the general public

AI-powered Task and Time Management
Productivity

This sounds too good to be true: AI plans your work automatically. All you have to do is add your tasks, set deadlines, duration, and priorities, and then Motion will organize your work week. It connects to your calendar and does not modify existing events. The service is currently heavily advertised through social media campaigns. I have yet to test it, but I have heard good things about it.

SlashPage is a simple website builder aimed at non-developers or designers. With a few clicks, you can start and focus on creating content and building your site. It's a new product but has an extensive feature set already. The user experience reminds me of Notion.

Refrakt is a site where you can upload and showcase your photos. It is aimed at people serious about photography, not for uploading/backing up your smartphone camera roll. It has early Flickr vibes and offers a free plan. Check their Discover page to see what people are sharing on the site.

My team and I are constantly trying to use AI tools to optimize our workflows, generate insights, or simply to take shortcuts. One area: Social Media Reporting. We often download reports from social media platforms and paste the data in ChatGPT to start analysing. This new blog post gives insights into this practice and shows how this can go completely wrong.

We use Figma daily to create storyboards, wireframes, mockups, and social media graphics. It's simply the perfect tool for all types of visual work, suitable not only for designers but every type of digital creator. In this brief tutorial, learn how to use Figma to create graphics for image sliders, including how to export them to PDF for publication on LinkedIn.
