There are often two thoughts when it comes to AI and your job.

1. AI won't replace us, it will enhance us
2. AI will completely erase jobs

I believe that it will do both. AI will replace jobs, but those who learn to leverage it will win.

The choice is yours.
One last thing- unlike these courses, this thread was actually NOT free.

I spent all day curating this, so I'm hoping you honor the gentlemen's agreement:

I've been sleeping on Apple Shortcut Automations.

So, I asked my community for their top automations that actually improved their lives.

Here's the top 15 life hacks from the thread:

Perplexity Comet is not like other agents

I’ve been testing it all week, and it’s starting to actually *stick*

Having in-page data context and plugging it directly into tabs makes it so much easier to add to my workflow

An honest review with a few use cases (and caveats):
First, the caveats:

- It's still early, and struggles with longer workflows
- Most data is retained by Perplexity (privacy concern)
- Only available to Max users ($200/mo) or free with an invitation code (we just dropped 500 codes in The Rundown University)
USE CASE 1: Email and Calendar management

With the Google Cal and Gmail integrations, it can summarize emails, schedule meetings, and manager calendar events directly from the browser

It's weird that Google hasn't done this yet
