Yes and no! I've got systems to track the inputs (steps, weights, yoga, foods) but I'm not monitoring the health results as of yet.

I should probably do some blood tests and monitor my cholesterol numbers but I'm not planning to totally plug in beyond some maintenance appointments this year.

I got a demo of that one recently. Looks ok for prototyping

No, so far I haven’t seen any genAI images that look good enough to replace real Product Art, and I prefer creative from real humans wherever I can get it.

Messaging is also hit or miss. AI-generated copy is okay but it usually inspires me to do a rewrite

Yes and yes!

Every client I'm working with is either an AI-first product or they're launching AI capabilities

But as marketers we're also doing things like using Claude Code to build landing pages (vs. writing for a CMS) and it's a big shift in terms of workflow and speed

I've only been independent for a little over a year but haven't done much work to find clients! Grateful all my leads have come through referrals 🙏

Budgets are there

Biggest thing I'm feeling is: marketing is different with AI

SO many new tools, faster turnarounds and lots of interest in AEO

I want my clothes to come out of the dryer hot, toasty and parched. I want to bury myself under hot towel mountain as I carry the laundry from the dryer to the sofa to be folded.

My husband won't let me do his laundry because I run the dryer "too high."
