AI ON MY MIND

Until recently, getting buy-in on a new idea meant long presentations—slides, pitches, proposals—before anything got built.

Now, with AI, we’re stepping into the "prototype era."

Instead of talking ideas to life, we can instantly bring them into reality.

AI lets anyone create hands-on, skipping the slide decks and getting right to the proof.

Seeing is believing, and AI doesn’t just make it easier—it makes it possible.

There’s never been a better time to create.

👨‍💻 LinkedIn launches its first AI agent to take on the role of job recruiters

LinkedIn has launched its first AI recruiting agent, designed to help companies find and connect with potential candidates more efficiently, marking a significant shift in how recruitment might be conducted in the future.

This development represents LinkedIn's most ambitious AI implementation yet, aiming to transform the traditional recruiting landscape by automating many time-consuming tasks.

  • The AI agent can analyze job descriptions and automatically identify and reach out to qualified candidates, handling initial screening conversations.
