The 4 recurring tasks you should hand off to AI permanently
Notes de l’épisode
Most people treat AI like a vending machine: you show up, you ask, you wait. But what if there's another way to use it, one where the work gets done before you've even thought to ask for it.
In this How I AI episode, Neo and I explore scheduled prompts: what they are, why they're worth setting up, and how to actually write one that works.
What you'll learn:
- What a scheduled prompt is and how it differs from a regular AI conversation
- When it makes sense to run a prompt in the background rather than in real time
- The kinds of recurring tasks that are well suited to scheduling
- How to know when a scheduled prompt has actually run
- Neo's trick for writing a prompt worth scheduling again and again
- 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
