EP 21: AI in Your Day - The Unglamorous Workflows That Actually Save Hours

How many times did you actually use AI yesterday, and did any of it save you real time?In Episode 21 of <a href="https://zeroshot.com.au/">⁠Zero Shot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> , <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrgauci/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Gauci⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/llewjury/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Llew Jury⁠</a> pull back the curtain on their own daily AI workflows: the boring, unglamorous, hour-saving habits that rarely make it into the headlines. From doing email entirely by voice to automated morning client briefings to turning accounting software into an on-demand CFO, this episode is a practical look at what AI in a real working day actually looks like in 2026. Recorded with a live update from the Super AI conference in Singapore, it closes on the one high-value AI application almost nobody in a corporate role is using yet. Key Highlights<ul><li>75% of knowledge workers use AI, but only 36% save real time</li><li>Doing email by voice can turn two hours into twenty minutes</li><li>Automated morning briefings handle client prep before 6 am</li><li>Connecting Claude Code to accounting software produces CFO grade financial reports</li><li>Microsoft Copilot's Frontier agent setting unlocks Anthropic models inside the stack</li><li>Connectors and skills are the biggest unlock for busy Claude users</li><li>The shift from T-shaped to square-shaped generalists is already here</li><li>Knowing what good looks like is the skill AI cannot replace</li></ul>Tools and Frameworks Mentioned<ul><li><a href="https://www.granola.ai⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Granola:</a> AI meeting notes tool that records audio locally and feeds notes into other AI workflows for summaries and content. </li><li><a href="https://wisprflow.ai⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Wispr Flow</a>: Voice dictation tool that runs your speech through an LLM to clean up grammar and misheard words before sending to your AI of choice. </li><li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Microsoft Copilot Cowork</a>: The agentic layer inside Microsoft Copilot, activated via the Frontier program, that orchestrates across Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive. </li><li>Claude Connectors and Skills: Claude's customisation features for hooking up business systems like 365, Gmail, CRMs, and QuickBooks, and building a reusable skills library. </li><li><a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.io⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Model Context Protocol (MCP)</a>: The open standard that lets tools like Claude Code connect deeply to systems such as Xero via CLI, accessing far more than standard connectors allow. </li></ul>Connect with the Hosts:<ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrgauci/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Gauci:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> CEO of Cadent.</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/llewjury/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Llew Jury:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> Managing Director of Advancer at the AI Agency.</li><li><a href="https://zeroshot.com.au/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zero Shot:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> Follow us on LinkedIn for clarity in a complex landscape.</li></ul>🤠 Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://www.promptcowboy.ai/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Prompt Cowboy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, the agentic prompting tool that helps teams build structured, precise prompts before they hit whichever model they are using.

EP 20: How AI Memory Actually Works - Context, Data Sovereignty, and What Your AI Is Remembering

What is your AI actually storing about you, and where does that information live?In Episode 20 of <a href="https://zeroshot.com.au/">Zero Shot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> , <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrgauci/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Gauci⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/llewjury/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Llew Jury</a> go under the hood of one of the most misunderstood features in AI today: memory. From why AI systems seem to forget things mid-conversation to the difference between context windows, persistent memory, and projects, this episode breaks down how memory actually works across the major platforms and what the implications are for businesses handling sensitive data. This is a practical, no-jargon guide to understanding and managing the memory layer of your AI tools.Key Highlights<ul><li>Context windows determine how much an AI reliably remembers per session</li><li>Google was first to release a million token context window, changing agentic tasks</li><li>Persistent memory is a text file updated by the model, not human-like recall</li><li>Data stored in US-based AI tools can be accessed by US law enforcement without a warrant</li><li>James keeps memory turned off in Claude for deliberate security reasons</li><li>One project per context area eliminates most mixing and confusion problems</li><li>Memory portability between platforms is becoming a competitive differentiator</li><li>Context engineering is emerging as a new field built on decades of data governance</li></ul>Tools and Frameworks Mentioned<a href="https://claude.ai⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Claude Projects</a> - A persistent context feature inside Claude that lets users build dedicated memory, files, and instructions per topic or client.

EP 19: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok? The Honest Answer for Business

Which AI model is actually worth your time and money in 2026, and how do you decide?In Episode 19 of <a href="https://zeroshot.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Zero Shot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> , <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrgauci/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Gauci⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/llewjury/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Llew Jury ⁠</a> do the episode the audience has been asking for: a real, no-benchmarks, no-lab-scores breakdown of the four major frontier AI models. This is not a comparison of leaderboard scores or press releases. It is a practical, values-informed assessment of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok from two people who have all four open on their desktops every day and use them across client work, internal builds, and AI training. The goal is simple: help you make a smarter model decision for your business. Key Highlights<ul><li>ChatGPT built the market but governance controversies have changed perceptions</li><li>Anthropic's run rate now exceeds OpenAI's at thirty billion US annually</li><li>Google invented the transformer architecture and remains a far from dark horse</li><li>Grok has the fewest guardrails and the most governance risk for Australian businesses</li><li>The model is rarely the differentiator; the prompt and the ecosystem are</li><li>AI tourism, jumping between models without committing, is a real productivity drain</li><li>Your conversation data is stored for thirty days and accessible without a warrant in the US</li><li>Choosing a model is a vendor decision, not just a tool decision</li></ul>Tools and Frameworks Mentioned<ul><li><a href="https://www.granola.ai⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Granola</a> - AI meeting notes tool that records audio locally on your device rather than sending a visible bot into the meeting.
