You have access to AI. You probably use it a fair bit. And yet there's a good chance you're still manually scrubbing through meeting transcripts, tabbing between LinkedIn and Google News before every sales call, and spending 20 minutes writing an executive summary for a paper you just finished writing.

That gap between having AI and actually letting it take things off your plate is where a lot of time quietly disappears.

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through eight tasks that knowledge workers should never have to do manually again, and what it actually looks like to hand them off to agents.

How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm.

What you'll learn in this episde:

• Which meeting-related tasks are the easiest to hand off to an agent

• How to build a pre-meeting briefing agent for sales and business development

• Why editing and proofreading agents need very specific instructions to protect your voice

• Where inbox agents are most useful, and what they can and can't do for you

• How to think about agents when comparing options before a purchase decision

• Practical AI tools for productivity and focus

• Real-world AI workflows used by high performers

• How to use AI at work without burning out

• Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
