    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Let’s say Priya works in ops at an animal protection charity of 10 people. This morning someone asked her whether they can claim for a train ticket to a conference. It’s the third time she’s been asked this month. She answers it in a Slack message nobody else will ever see, and next month someone new will ask her again.If you work in operations, or manage people at your organisation, you probably get a steady stream of questions about basically everything: sick leave policy, conference expense p

What isn’t great is the fact that we have to drive to the place... sit in a queue... use a machine that only takes coins (who carries coins these days?!), ...sometimes the machine is broken... so you have to drive somewhere else and repeat the bloody process again.We’d been doing this for years.

At Vegan Hacktivists we no longer officially recommend Gemini to organisations, except under specific circumstances.

    AI makes you much more productive, but it's no free lunch (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Working in an AI agent-forward way is genuinely transformative. Depending on the day, I reckon I am 5-10 times more productive than I was before LLMs. I probably save a few hours on emails a week, an hour or 2 on reporting, I save a day or more each week on research, and I when it comes to data analysis and coding, I must have saved literal years of work at this point.
