#304: I Can Haz AI?

August 18, 2026 · 1 h 8 min

Show notes

Everyone's posting their AI projects online like proud pet owners sharing videos of their cat doing something marginally impressive — cute, occasionally clever, sometimes a little cringe. And the Analytics Power Hour is no different! In this co-hosts-only episode, Tim, Michael, and Julie skip the thought leadership hot takes and just… compare notes. What have they actually built? What broke? What surprised them? From a custom GPT podcast librarian to a full-blown show production app wired up to Neon, Vercel, Resend, and about five other things Michael is only sort of sure he set up correctly, to a Gemini Gem that simulates a client interaction so realistically it raises your blood pressure in a safe environment — there's a lot of ground covered. Plus: why AI-generated communication has a Stevia aftertaste, why deploying AI context across a team is way harder than it looks, and why the LLM will absolutely tell you what you want to hear about your Meta spend if you give it half a chance.

This episode is brought to you, in part, by our sponsors, Stape and Prism from Ask-Y.
