Let's walk and talk

Last week, I faced a dreaded task: corporate board papers.

This would normally be the kind of CTO task that would have me ruing the day I ever stopped being an IC.

But this time, something magical happened.

Instead of staring at a blank Google doc, I hit the streets of London, my trusty AI voice notes app in hand.

Walking, rambling, storytelling, I could brain dump exactly what I wanted to say, without having to add a corporate filter.

My thoughts flowed freely, unburdened by the usual bureaucratic stiffness.

Back home, an LLM transformed these casual rambles into professional prose.

Bingo.

From tedious to delightful, with barely a keyboard stroke.

Even this blog post was conjured during an evening stroll in rare British sunshine.

I've given it a personal polish, but the hard work? Already done.

It's not about ditching desks and never writing things from scratch again, but about embracing flexibility.

AI doesn’t replace; it expands the spectrum.

And if new tools mean I can feel human while being corporate?

How could AI help you feel more human today?
