📊 Australia’s AI Adoption in 2025 — Key Insights You Can’t Ignore

I just finished digging through the Australian National Centre of AI’s new adoption report… and wow, there’s a lot to unpack.

Here’s the good news:

This video is NOT about GPT-5… but about my Comet browser. 🚀

Sure, OpenAI just dropped GPT-5 — their “smartest yet” model — but I didn’t sit through the 1 hour 17 minute launch. Instead, I asked my Comet assistant to do the heavy lifting.

In minutes, it pulled the big updates:
✨ Next-level code generation
💬 Emotional intelligence
🌍 Real-time…

You know that Downloads folder you’re secretly afraid to open?
Mine was worse. Think: digital landfill meets chaos theory.

I always wished I had a magical assistant who could organise it all for me every week—no complaints, no eye rolls.

Turns out, I do now.

🚀 Copilot Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter (And More Personal)

Just dropped a new video you need to watch if you’re using Copilot 365!

For the first time ever, Copilot has rolled out personalisation and memory features – yep, that means it can now remember how you work, your preferences, and actually adapt to you. Think ChatGPT… but baked right…

Well… kinda.

In this video, I show how I’m using Comet — the new AI-enabled browser by Perplexity — to help me hire a content marketing manager. Yes, it reads resumes. But it also thinks.

As someone deeply immersed in the AI ecosystem, I’ve just wrapped up a close look at OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Agent. It’s making headlines—and for good reason. But is it really the seismic shift business leaders have been waiting for? Here’s my perspective:

What’s New?

The ChatGPT Agent isn’t just a chatbot—it’s an autonomous coworker. It can navigate…

I’ve just started exploring the courses here and I’ve got to say – this place feels like a goldmine for anyone trying to stay ahead in the AI game. A question to everyone – how are you using what you’re learning here? Any cool tools or projects you’ve built (or broken) thanks to the Academy?

Great to be here! I’m curious to know how easy is it to create custom GPTs using AI? And are they fully reliable, or do they still require some level of human intervention @aamirqutub ?

Thank you @aamirqutub for the free AI courses that are super insightful and refreshingly jargon-free. I also just started reading your book The CEO Who Mocked AI – loving the narrative so far! It’s got me wondering – What was the turning point that made you chase AI so relentlessly? What flipped the switch for you? Excited to hear!

Sounds fancy. Feels private. But is it actually worth it for your business?

In this video, I break down the pros, cons, and hidden traps of running your own open-source AI model — vs just using GPT, Claude, or Gemini.

🚨 New Video Drop: The RAGE Framework for Prompting 🧠💥

Stuck solving a problem with AI that keeps giving you gobbledygook?

Enter: RAGE.

No, not the emotion (although we’ve all been there 😅).

It’s a simple prompting framework for better AI answers:

👉 Role – Who is the AI?

👉 Action – What should it do?

👉 Goal – What outcome do you want?

👉 Expectation – What…

🧠 What Gets Measured, AI Will Automate — And That’s a Good Thing (Mostly)

📖 Based on: Harvard Business Review – June 2025

Let’s simplify one of the most important ideas in AI right now:

If a task can be measured, it can probably be automated.

That’s the main point of this article from Harvard Business Review — and it’s already happening around…

What Gets Measured, AI Will Automate

In the age of AI, what gets measured gets automated. As models grow more powerful, any task that can be turned into data—from spreadsheet analysis to therapy sessions—is increasingly within reach of automation. The underlying playbook is clear: define the … Continue reading

Yeah. Fifty.

One of our clients came to us frustrated.

He wanted a custom GPT that could convert any large document into exactly 4 pages.

Sounds simple, right?

Not quite.

Here’s the catch most people don’t realise:

👉 ChatGPT doesn’t understand pages.

👉 It barely understands word count — let alone layout, font size, or spacing.

👉 And tokens? That’s a whole other…

More hours. More meetings. More people.

But what if we’ve been scaling the wrong way?

Founders manually tracking leads in Excel
Sales managers rewriting the same pitch for the 27th time
CEOs hopping on calls just to “touch base”

Agentic AI: The Next Evolution After GPTs

We’ve all played with ChatGPT.
Write this. Fix that. Summarise those.

It’s impressive—until you realise one thing:
GPTs wait for your prompt.
Agents act without it.

That’s the leap we’re stepping into:
Welcome to the era of Agentic AI.
These aren’t just chat tools.

They’re autonomous digital…

The future of leadership isn’t just AI-literate.
It’s emotionally intelligent.

There’s a misconception floating around:
“AI is replacing the human touch.”

Wrong.

The smartest companies I know aren’t removing humans.
They’re removing what blocks the humans from doing their best work.

They’re using AI to:

They were brilliant… until they weren’t.

It’s what happens when good people in good businesses keep “cracking coconuts” while the rest of the world builds machines.

🧠 What is RAG?

Another AI acronym? Well, Yes. But this one’s genuinely useful — and it’s changing how smart AI actually works.

Let’s break it down first:
RAG = Retrieval-Augmented Generation.

It’s what helps AI give answers with real context — not just confident guesses.

Let me explain it the SUITS way. 👇

Think of Mike Ross.

“Let Go to Grow”

There’s a point in the book where Selene tells Blake:

“You’re not leading anymore. You’re throttling throughput.”

That hit hard.

Because I’ve been there too—

checking every copy.

approving every design.

reviewing every decision like it’s a personal brand move.

But here’s what AI made painfully clear:
