Shownotes

The moment automation clicks, most people want to automate everything. And some of the worst content on the internet right now is coming from exactly that. In this episode, Steph covers how to use AI strategically: what to hand off, what to keep, and how to tell the difference.

You'll hear:

  • The four-word rule Steph's business runs on: AI drafts, you decide
  • The "repeat and resent" test for building your automation list
  • Why you should automate ONE thing first (and why the feedback loop is where the magic happens)
  • How to be strategic about AI usage limits
  • The context ceiling: why the more you hand off, the more your AI needs one central brain

Mentioned in this episode:

πŸ€– AI Your Business - Steph's live session where we set up this whole foundation together in real time (replay included if you're listening after the live)

πŸ“₯ The Daily Inbox Triage Skill - if the inbox is your "repeat and resent" task, grab the exact skill Steph uses every day

🧠 The AI Brain Workshop - where we go deep on building that central brain for your AI
