Riddle Me This: What's in a Digital Mystery Box?

don’t look, but answer’s at the bottom 👀

Imagine…

…an AI tool that scans all your digital art projects and creates a mood-based Spotify playlist to accompany each piece. What does pink sound like?

Chatty Tasks: Your AI-powered Daily Briefings

Picture this: a digital butler that preps you for the day by curating a nifty summary of your tasks, & presenting different options to tackle the day. Want to add a lil’ pizzas? Hook it up to read your tasks out-loud while you prep your coffee.

Here’s how to set it up.

1. Step 1: Choose a task management app (Todoist, Trello, Asana).

2. Step 2: Start with a Zapier trigger that springs into action at your chosen hour.

3. Step 3: Create a Zap to round up your tasks for the day from your app.

4. Step 4: Next, create a Zap to send your tasks to OpenAI. Ask it to add an organized summary, insights to tackle your tasks, or tell you how much of a sexy beast you are. (no judgment here, it’s your routine).

5. Step 5: Send the OpenAI-crafted message to your email or Slack.

6. Step 6: Give your new system a whirl for a few days and tweak as you see fit.

Now for the pizzazz… You can use:

• Cortana, or the built-in Windows Text-to-Speech feature.

• Siri from Mac/iOS can be used in a similar manner.

• And for those with a taste for the bespoke, there's the option of crafting your AI assistant's voice with ElevenLabs (but that’s an adventure for another day).

Here’s how to get your devices chatting:

1. If you're sending your summary to an email or a specific app, see if your device allows you to ask the assistant to "read my latest email" or "read my notes," and it'll vocalize the content.

2. For the ones craving a smoother experience, custom software or scripts are your best bet, especially if you're looking for a specific prompt like "Good morning, Sexy Beast. Here's what's on your plate today..."

There you have it. Your own digital Alfred. White gloves not included – but who knows? They might just be in the next software update.

(or wishful thinking…)

In the next decade, virtual reality combined with AI could allow us to "visit" historical events and interact with historical figures.

Our first stop? Woodstock with the crew. 🤘

You?

Imagine an AI that could make your daily life 10% happier. What does it do?

And that’s the way the cookie crumbles… or in our case, gets programmed.

If you know a creative who needs a sprinkle of tech-magic, pass this on.
If you’re the creative, get this digital trove personally delivered.
