4 hours of GTM work → 15 minutes

Ryan Staley — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:01:13 +0000

This year has been amazing for me personally and professionally. We grew 300%, yeah!

Thank you for all of your amazing support across Youtube and for the Podcast. As part of of my recovery/planning so that we can to 10x next year, I am taking a month off from the Podcast and/or Youtube videos. I have been podcasting straight for 5 years and I think I need to slow down to speed up.

Expect to see us take things to the next level next year and once again, THANK YOU for all of your support. It means more to me than you ever could know.

Ryan

Now Back to our normal newsletter!

The 16x Productivity Multiplier

4 hours of GTM work → 15 minutes. Same outcome. ~2x quality.

Here's what one AI workflow did for me last week:

The Workflow (all in a single thread):

Follow-up email with clear actions for the prospect- EMAIL CUSTOM GPT
Deal coaching on how qualified it was through MEDDICC-style criteria-DEAL COACH CUSTOM GPT
Next best actions based on my notes and pipeline context-DEAL COACH CUSTOM GPT
Full proposal in my branding, with all the details tightened up- GAMMA

⏱️ ~15 minutes

Total time invested

Old way: 3–4 hours of deep work.

Quality: Better structure, cleaner narrative, stronger visuals than if I white-knuckled it myself.

This is why I think we need a new standard for AI ROI.

Not "I paid $100 for licenses, where's my $40K?"

But:
✓ Hours collapsed per workflow
✓ Quality lift vs manual
✓ Capacity unlocked per rep per week

The beautiful thing about it was that it wasn't a complex Agent build.

It was a stacked workflow of 2 tools.

BTW, this is only ONE workstream. These opportunities are EVERYWHERE around you.

Start small, move fast, implement, repeat.

This CEO Built a Daily AI Agent That Searches the Web While He Sleeps

Ryan Staley — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 13:02:07 +0000

While most of us are still figuring out how to use AI for basic tasks, Chris Savage, co-founder and CEO of Wistia (serving over 500,000 customers worldwide), has cracked the code on making AI work for him—literally while he sleeps.

💡 "I've started creating repeatable tasks with LLMs. I'll say, 'I want you to go search for this thing every day. And if you find it, update me.' It knows the types of questions I'm already asking and every morning goes out and searches for things related to the stuff I'm working on." — Chris Savage

🎯 The Game-Changing Approach

In a recent conversation on the podcast, Savage revealed his innovative approach to AI automation that goes far beyond what most executives are doing:

🔄Automated Daily Briefings

Savage has configured ChatGPT to act as his personal research assistant, conducting autonomous searches every morning on topics relevant to his work at Wistia. The AI doesn't just dump information—it provides context on why he should care about each finding.

🎓Continuous Learning Loop

"Each day when I get something, I'll respond to it and say, 'This is good. This is bad,' and iterate as I go," Savage explains. The system gets smarter over time, learning his preferences and filtering signal from noise.

📊Beyond Search Engines

Unlike traditional Google Alerts or RSS feeds, this AI agent actively processes and synthesizes information from sources Savage admits he "honestly wouldn't go through. There's like too much stuff."

🛠️ How He Built It

The setup is surprisingly accessible—no coding required:

Platform: ChatGPT with task automation features
Method: Custom daily reminders with specific search parameters
Training: Iterative feedback to refine results
Parallel Tool: Also uses ChatGPT's "Pulse" feature for unexpected discoveries

🔑 KEY INSIGHT: Savage emphasizes the difference between his custom briefing (expected, specific information) and ChatGPT Pulse (unexpected discoveries). The combination ensures comprehensive coverage while maintaining focus.

🎬 Revolutionary Video AI at Wistia

Beyond personal productivity, Savage is pioneering AI applications in video technology:

🌍LLM-Friendly Video Embeds

Wistia launched technology that makes video content searchable by AI. The innovation? When LLMs crawl a webpage with embedded videos, they can now "read" the transcript—making video content discoverable in AI search results.

The Problem It Solves: YouTube blocks ChatGPT and other LLMs. Traditional video players require JavaScript, which common crawlers can't execute. Wistia's solution: Detect AI crawlers and serve transcripts directly.

🎙️AI Dubbing for Global Reach

Wistia's AI dubbing feature revealed a startling insight: Only 68% of visitors to their English-language site have browsers set to English. TED's recent study showed dramatically better conversion and engagement rates when content matches native languages.

🔮 Savage's Bold AI Predictions for 2026

"I'm really bullish on AI solving actually really small problems really well. I think we're gonna start to see things that like, would have taken an engineer a day to do before and it was low on their priority list—we're gonna start to see a lot more of that occurring."

Why This Matters: While the industry obsesses over AI agents coding for 30 hours straight, Savage sees the real value in 30-minute tasks that deliver immediate, reliable results. His company now has a Cursor bot in Slack where "someone brought up an issue, it's literally solved 30 minutes later."

💼 The Trust Paradox in AI-Generated Content

Savage offers a fascinating perspective on AI-generated video:

"For a long time, people saw video as 'if it's in a video, it's real'—it is very high trust because it's hard to make video. As humans, we value things that are good that require a lot of hard work. That is a signal to us of importance."

His prediction: Story will ultimately win. Just as CGI in movies initially wowed audiences but eventually required great storytelling to succeed, AI-generated content will follow the same trajectory.

I automated 70% of my marketing in 15 minutes (here's how)

Ryan Staley — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 14:00:18 +0000

How I Use Claude Code to 100x My Marketing in 15 Minutes

I used to spend 10 hours every week writing marketing content, LinkedIn posts—it was endless. Last week I generated 30 LinkedIn posts in 15 minutes and created 12 YouTube video outlines, including SEO research, AEO research, thumbnail designs, and full scripts.

Same quality. 95% less time.

Here's the breakthrough moment: I discovered that Anthropic (the creators of Claude) doesn't just use Claude Code for... well, code. Their growth marketing team uses it for ads creative, mass content production, and autonomous workflow design.

That's when it clicked: If their marketing team is using this, why aren't we?

What Claude Code Can Do Beyond Coding:

Content creation at scale: 30 posts in the time it used to take for 1
Video production pipelines: Outlines, scripts, thumbnails, SEO—all automated
Research automation: Trends, keywords, competitor analysis while you sleep
Batch processing: Month's worth of content in one 15-minute session
Background execution: Set it and forget it—work completes while you walk the dog

The Game-Changing Discovery: The Mega Prompt

After going back and forth with Claude Code for what felt like forever, I had a realization: What if I could take ALL these conversations and commands and compress them into ONE mega prompt?

So I asked: "Can you take our entire chat thread with all the commands and prompts I gave you and create a mega prompt so I can just hit this once and it runs through everything autonomously?"

It changed everything.

🎯 My Exact Workflow (The 15-Minute Setup)

Step 1: Created a mega prompt containing my brand voice, content guidelines, and viral mechanics

Step 2: Connected Claude Code to my local files using Obsidian (stores all my content templates and brand context)

Step 3: Ran the prompt once: "Research the top 6 trending AI topics, create 6 video outlines with 2 variations each, include SEO/AEO keywords, and format everything in Obsidian"

Step 4: Went for a walk with my dog. By the time I got back, I had:

• 6 trending topics with research links and statistics
• 24 complete video outlines (4 variations per topic)
• Full scripts with hooks, questions, and CTAs
• Thumbnail descriptions for each video
• SEO and AEO keyword master lists
• 30 LinkedIn posts (2 per topic, 15 topics total)

The Setup Reality Check:

I'm not going to lie—the initial setup took me about 15-20 minutes of confusion. The command line interface looked intimidating. I ran into issues. But here's what I did: I took screenshots of my errors, pasted them into Claude, and asked "What am I doing wrong?" It walked me through everything.

The ROI: You only need the $20/month Claude Pro subscription to access this. I upgraded to $100/month because I'm using it constantly now. Even at $20, the ROI is insane when you're saving 10+ hours per week.

Three Operating Modes You Need to Know:

Direct in Anthropic interface: Simple chat-based interaction (easiest to start)
Command line interface: Full computer access, integrates with local files (most powerful)
GitHub connection: Store and version your prompts and outputs (most organized)

😮 Apple Intelligence: Everything you need to know about Apple’s AI model and services

Image: Apple

Launched in late 2024, Apple Intelligence brings generative AI features into core apps like Messages, Mail, Notes, and Siri. It offers Writing Tools for summaries and tone shifts, Genmojis and Image Playground for visuals, and a smarter, more context-aware Siri. At WWDC 2025, Apple added Visual Intelligence for image search and Live Translation for real-time conversations, both coming with iOS 26 later this year.

Apple Intelligence runs tasks on-device for privacy but taps into Private Cloud Compute for heavier queries. It also integrates with ChatGPT, with Google Gemini expected to follow. Developers can now build on Apple’s Foundation Models framework, enabling offline AI-powered features in third-party apps.

❇️Alibaba’s new Qwen model to supercharge AI transcription tools

Image: AI Intelligence News

Alibaba’s Qwen team has released Qwen3-ASR-Flash, a next-gen speech recognition model built on Qwen3-Omni and trained on tens of millions of hours of audio. In benchmarks, it outperformed rivals like Gemini-2.5-Pro and GPT4o-Transcribe, with just 3.97% error in Chinese and 3.81% in English. It also excels at tricky tasks like music transcription, achieving far lower error rates than competitors.

The model supports 11 languages and multiple dialects, including Mandarin, Cantonese, British and American English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. A standout feature is flexible contextual biasing, allowing users to feed in keywords or documents in any format to boost accuracy without complex prep. With strong multilingual and acoustic performance, Qwen3-ASR-Flash positions Alibaba as a serious contender in global AI transcription.

😮 OpenAI to route sensitive conversations to GPT-5, introduce parental controls

Image Credits: Fiordaliso / Getty Images

OpenAI says it will start routing sensitive chats to its “reasoning” models (e.g., GPT-5-thinking) and roll out parental controls within a month. The changes follow incidents where ChatGPT failed to detect acute distress, including a teen suicide and a separate murder-suicide. Planned safeguards include automatic routing for high-risk conversations, age-appropriate behavior rules by default, parent-linked accounts, options to disable memory/history, and alerts to parents during “acute distress.” OpenAI frames this as part of a 120-day safety push with external experts; critics (including counsel for the Raine family) call the response inadequate and urge stronger action.

❇️Amazon launches Lens Live, an AI-powered shopping tool for use in the real world

Image: Amazon

Amazon Lens lets you find products visually in 4 ways: upload a photo/screenshot, take a live pic with Camera Search, launch from an iOS lock-screen widget, or scan a barcode for exact matches.
Adoption is surging: tens of millions use it monthly; overall usage grew 50% year over year, and photo-based searches more than doubled.
New/handy features: Circle to Search within cluttered images, add text to refine results (e.g., brand/color or “charger” for a laptop), and sort by price, ratings, and delivery speed.
Availability/delivery: browse across Amazon’s vast catalog, including ~300M items with free Prime shipping and many with free Same-Day or One-Day delivery.
Use cases: recreate outfits, find replacements or complementary parts, price-compare, and quickly restock items you already own.

Read the full news here.

⚡WordPress shows off Telex, its experimental AI development tool

Image: Telex screenshot

WordPress launched Telex, an experimental AI tool demoed at WordCamp US 2025. It lets users generate Gutenberg blocks from prompts and download them as .zip plugins for WordPress or Playground. Early tests show it’s still rough, but Matt Mullenweg sees it as advancing WordPress’s mission of democratized publishing. He also previewed a quick AI help assistant and mentioned using Perplexity’s Comet with WordPress. Meanwhile, the legal dispute with WP Engine continues, now moving through the courts.

💫Anthropic users face a new choice – opt out or share your chats for AI training

Anthropic is changing how it handles consumer user data. Starting September 28, 2025, all Claude Free, Pro, and Max users (including Claude Code) must choose whether to let their conversations be used to train Anthropic’s AI models.

Before: Conversations were deleted within 30 days (unless flagged).
Now: If you don’t opt out, Anthropic can store your chats for up to 5 years and use them to train future Claude models.
Who’s exempt? Business customers using Claude Gov, Claude for Work, Claude for Education, or API access.
Why? Officially framed as “helping improve model safety and skills,” but it’s clear Anthropic also needs large-scale conversational data to compete with OpenAI and Google.
Concern: The opt-out toggle is small, pre-set to “On,” and easy to miss under a large “Accept” button — raising questions about genuine user consent.

This reflects a larger trend: AI companies are facing legal and regulatory scrutiny over data use and retention, but users often remain unaware of major policy changes.

Watch it now—I’ll walk you through the 4 stages

👏 MathGPT.ai, the ‘cheat-proof’ tutor and teaching assistant, expands to over 50 institutions

MathGPT.ai is expanding to more colleges this fall after piloting at 30 schools, including Penn State and Tufts. The AI tutor uses Socratic questioning to guide students instead of giving answers, while also serving as a teaching assistant for professors with auto-grading, LMS integration, and customizable controls. New features boost accessibility, safety, and accuracy, with future plans for a mobile app and more subjects beyond math.

⚡911 centers are so understaffed, they’re turning to
AI to answer calls

YC S22 startup Aurelian pivoted from salon bookings to an AI voice assistant that offloads non-emergency 911 calls.

Raised $14M Series A led by NEA.
Triage for noise/parking/stolen wallet; auto-routes real emergencies to human dispatchers; files reports for follow-up.
Live since May 2024 in 12+ dispatch centers (e.g., Snohomish County, Chattanooga, Kalamazoo), handling thousands of calls daily.
Adoption fueled by severe understaffing & burnout; NEA says it replaces roles departments couldn’t fill.
Competitors (Hyper, Prepared) exist, but Aurelian claims to be the only one live at scale.

💫Image editing in Gemini just got a major upgrade

Google upgraded native image editing in the Gemini app with a new DeepMind model.

Big win: keeps people & pets looking like themselves across edits.
New tricks: costume/location swaps, blend multiple photos, multi-turn edits (tweak parts without changing the rest), and style transfer between images.
You can re-upload edits to make a short video in Gemini.
All outputs include a visible watermark and SynthID.

😮 Thousands of Grok chats are now searchable
on Google

Forbes reports that hundreds of thousands of Grok chatbot conversations are publicly accessible via Google Search. When users hit the “share” button, their chats are given unique URLs — but these links are now being indexed by Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.

Like similar leaks from Meta’s and OpenAI’s bots, Grok conversations expose sensitive and often disturbing requests: hacking crypto wallets, explicit roleplay, drug recipes, and even instructions for making weapons. Shockingly, some indexed chats show Grok giving details on fentanyl production, suicide methods, bomb-making, and even an assassination plan targeting Elon Musk.

Although xAI prohibits such misuse, the exposure highlights serious privacy and safety risks. xAI has not yet commented on when or why Grok conversations began appearing in search results.

❇️OpenAI launches a sub-$5 ChatGPT plan in India

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription plan priced at ₹399/month ($4.60) — a fraction of the existing Plus plan at ₹1,999 ($23). The Go plan offers 10x more capacity than the free tier, including expanded chat limits, image generation, file uploads, and improved memory for personalized responses.

The plan supports UPI payments and comes as India becomes OpenAI’s second-largest market, with over 29 million app downloads in the last 90 days but relatively low subscription revenue. By introducing an affordable local option, OpenAI aims to boost conversions and strengthen its footprint in India before expanding Go to other regions.

With competitors like Perplexity and Google rolling out India-focused AI offerings, OpenAI’s pricing move underscores the country’s importance in the global AI race.

Grammarly has launched a new Coda-powered document interface with a block-first design and a built-in AI assistant. The platform adds tools like Reader Reactions, Grader, Citation Finder, Paraphraser, plus plagiarism and AI-content detection.

Backed by a $1B raise and acquisitions like Superhuman, Grammarly is blending AI writing support with AI detection to prepare students and professionals for the future of work.

💫Anthropic bundles Claude Code into enterprise plans

😮 Anthropic’s Claude AI model can now handle
longer prompts

Anthropic Boosts Claude’s Context Window to 1M Tokens Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 can now handle prompts up to 1 million tokens — roughly 750,000 words or 75,000 lines of code — giving developers far more room for complex projects and long agentic coding tasks. This leap puts Claude ahead of GPT-5’s 400K limit, though competition is heating up.

❇️Perplexity offers to buy Chrome for billions more than it’s raised

Perplexity Offers $34.5B for Google Chrome
In a bold move, AI search startup Perplexity has made an unsolicited $34.5 billion cash offer to buy Google Chrome, pledging to keep Chromium open source, invest $3B in the project, and retain Google as the default search engine. The bid follows a DOJ proposal that Google be forced to sell Chrome after a monopoly ruling. With Chrome’s 68% market share, the deal could reshape the browser landscape — if it ever goes through.

⚡Google pushes AI into flight deals as antitrust scrutiny, competition heat up

Google has debuted Flight Deals, an AI tool in Google Flights that helps travelers find cheaper fares using natural language queries like “week-long trip this winter to a city with great food.” Powered by a custom Gemini 2.5 model, it ranks results by percentage savings and price, pulling data directly from airlines. The beta rolls out this week in the U.S., Canada, and India — even as regulators probe Google’s dominance in travel search.

💫Google tests revamped Google Finance with AI upgrades, live news feed

Google is upgrading Google Finance with AI-powered answers to complex financial questions, advanced charting tools, and real-time data and news. Users can now ask detailed queries in one go, view technical indicators like moving average envelopes, and access live market headlines — including commodities and more cryptocurrencies. The update rolls out in the U.S. over the coming weeks.

👏 DeepSeek reverts to Nvidia for R2 model after Huawei AI chip fails

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has scrapped plans to train its upcoming R2 model on Huawei’s Ascend chips after persistent technical failures, reverting to Nvidia hardware and delaying launch. While Beijing pushes for homegrown tech, the chips couldn’t meet the stability and power demands of large-scale training — even with Huawei engineers on-site. Inference on Huawei hardware may still be possible, but for now, Nvidia keeps the AI performance crown.

😮 Just wrapped my 4 Week AI cohort for 900+ Go-To-Market executives, and here are 9 insights that are game-changing

Here's why you need to pay attention NOW:

🔹AI isn't just a "Google machine" for basic tasks; most execs are barely scratching the surface. There are exponentially more opportunities to leverage it.

🔹 The market is paying a premium: AI skills increased wages by 25% from last year, with companies willing to pay 56% more for these capabilities. Your career depends on this.

🔹 Unlock serious time: The goal is to free up 20-40 hours monthly for higher-impact work or personal life. This isn't a pipe dream; it's achievable through AI leverage.

🔹 "PhD models" are your unfair advantage: These advanced reasoning models can enable complex strategic planning, like developing top-down/bottom-up annual plans for large companies in just 45 minutes.

🔹 Deep Research is a hidden superpower: It can generate comprehensive Go-To-Market strategies (worth an estimated $50,000 from Gartner) in as little as 12 minutes. It's a significant unlock, especially since 40% of people haven't even used it yet.

🔹 The shift from AI as a mere "taskmaster" to a "Delegate" (automating recurring tasks) and "Orchestrator" (combining functions for complex processes like a "Customer Brain") is happening now.

🔹 Investors Are Demanding AI-First: Private Equity (PE) firms are actively pushing for AI-first strategies, seeking to automate jobs to unlock an estimated $3-5 trillion in the labor pool. This isn't just a trend; it's a strategic imperative from the top.

🔹 Your org chart is next: A striking 22% of surveyed participants have already begun redesigning their organizational structures based on digital employees. Investors and leadership teams are increasingly expecting this.

🔹 Learning AI is non-negotiable for career growth: You can be replaced by AI, and you definitely will be replaced by people using AI if you don't adapt. Mastering these tools makes you "exponentially more valuable and non-replaceable".

⚡Genie 3: A new frontier for world models

Genie 3 is a new, general-purpose world model from Google DeepMind that can create interactive, dynamic environments from a text prompt. The model generates worlds at 720p resolution and 24 frames per second, allowing users to navigate them in real time for a few minutes while maintaining consistency.

This new model builds upon Google DeepMind's decade of research in simulated environments and world models, which are AI systems that can simulate and predict how environments will evolve. Genie 3 improves upon previous versions, Genie 1 and Genie 2, by adding real-time interactivity and improving consistency and realism. Google DeepMind believes that world models like Genie 3 are a key step toward achieving AGI, as they enable the training of AI agents in a wide variety of simulation environments.

💫Google says its AI-based bug hunter found 20 security vulnerabilities

Google's AI, Big Sleep, has successfully found and reported its first 20 security vulnerabilities in open-source software like FFmpeg and ImageMagick. While a human expert was involved in the final reporting, the AI located and reproduced the bugs on its own. This development, which Google calls "a new frontier in automated vulnerability discovery," highlights the growing capabilities of AI-powered bug-hunting tools, despite some concerns about false bug reports.
