The event was huge, with 165,000 attendees over four days, making it the biggest conference I’ve ever been to.
AI was obviously the star of the show, popping up everywhere and driving discussions on its ethical implications and practical applications. It was interesting to see how governments (national and regional) and companies are leveraging AI to innovate in their core businesses.
I attended 2 really cool keynotes :
Peng Xiao’s talk on “Life in the Age of AI” delved into the philosophical and ethical aspects of our AI-driven world.
The panel on “The Future of Space” was equally inspiring, with insights from NASA, CNES, and other industry leaders.
Overall, a great opportunity to see how the industry is evolving. It was a solid experience, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.
Recently created 2 AI Agents to help me in my job — a great exercise for me, considering I’m in a customer-facing role and non-technical position.
One agent helps me be better in my role/department.
One agent is focused on the industry I’m working in
Basically, one focuses on our vertical, and one is more horizontal, by contrast. Doing so is a real timesaver, while not breaching any confidentiality or confidential information. Really powerful stuff that is already paying dividens and making me better at my job…
Been stuck on something for work the past few days — something minor but couldn’t wrap my head around it.
Took some time to formulate it to my AI overlords, with the right context and suddenly things are cleared up. I love using it to help me gain clarity — feels kinda super power-ish
Perfect timing — I guess they were waiting for the AI Summit but French startup Mistral behind the French/European AI (Mistral) just updated and upgraded their platform. Much faster and more powerful. Gonna give it a try for work and play 😊
📚 I met my friend @JamesMayes.bsky.social about a dozen years ago at a local chapter of TEDx in Brighton, where I used to reside during my university studies and the early stages of my career.
We quickly connected due to our shared heavy social media usage and mutual attraction towards good food & drinks, good people, and a passion for technology. Since then, we’ve been friends, and I’m grateful to have him as both a friend and a mentor in my professional life.
Over the past year, James has been battling brain cancer. On top of this life-altering diagnosis, he’s been incredibly busy. Since last year, he’s been involved in the following endeavors:
Needless to say, for community-oriented individuals like myself, this book is already a must-read. I was fortunate enough to read early chapters a while back and eagerly anticipate delving deeper into the book.
Have to use a Lenovo business PC running Microsoft and let me tell you what piece of nightmarish hell the software AND hardware are! How do people live, let alone work this way?!
👋🏼 It’s been a few months since I’ve gotten back to freelancing and I wanted to share that I have some availability between now and the end of the year.
💼 I’m looking for additional work in Customer Success / Product Marketing starting at the end of August.
🙋🏻♂️I’m flexible but typically specialize in early stage startups and small companies looking for a Jack-of-all-trade profile, across a wide range of industries.
You can learn more about my work via my portfolio website (http://Tibz.work/) and my DMs are opened for more discussions.
Truly a joy to find myself in the supermarket and using Clear to tick off items between aisles today!
Brought back the memories of working at @Realmacsoftware.com at the beginning of my career and using the app daily for work stuff and personal errands too!
With every day that passes, it looks more and more like I’ll be going back to freelancing.
The first step is to prepare a new ‘professional’ website, then to organize myself across Notion & Things, and later ensure the legal, admin, and banking side is all set up… Wish me luck! :)
📣 💼 I’ve been thinking of how best to apply my skills and help companies grow. I can add a lot of value to a team focused on business & product but that hasn’t had the chance to think about how to support customers and how to onboard new users.
My sweet spot is early-stage startups and companies that need to set up and launch their customer experience: setting up their support strategy, help desk, help center, segmenting the customer base and understanding how to educate users in the best practices, how to use features, how to make sure they make the most out of a given product, all the way to community building. Basically anything customer-facing.
All of this to say I’m thinking about going back to freelancing but I need clients…
I’ve been working full remote since 2015, have experience working with international, cross-disciplinary teams in the US, Europe, UK, whether B2B SaaS, B2C, sports, crypto, fintech, Dev tools, consumer, I’ve done a lot…
