πŸ“Œ Try Miro AI Workflows β€” your canvas becomes the context for AI: http://miro.pxf.io/NGKAbN @MiroHQ on YouTube #miropartner Allie Miller is the #1 most-followed voice in AI business on LinkedIn with 2M followers. She launched IBM's first multimodal AI team, then became global head of machine learning for startups at AWS. Now her advisory firm, Open Machine, works with Novartis, ServiceNow, Warner Bros. Discovery β€” and she's advised Reid Hoffman and Melinda French Gates's Pivotal Ventures. In 2025 Allie was named TIME100 AI. In this episode, she shows us her exact setup β€” 36 proactive workflows, around 100 agents running while she sleeps β€” and walks us through how to build it yourself without writing a single line of code. We covered the 3 context documents everyone should create first, why most people are using AI at 20% of its potential, and what separates the people winning with AI from the ones falling behind.

πŸ“Œ What's one task you're still doing manually that you wish you could automate?

I’m definitely going to have Claude watch the rest of this for me, and send me an email on Friday

Now let's see the difference between the person with the AI, versus the person without the AI, in terms of the gray matter they retain because they're using it regularly versus the gray matter that atrophies because its tasks were offloaded to a machine.

I also have 500 agents working for me right now. Well, 498. Two of them are currently arguing over the best way to fold my socks, finding where I left my keys and the others are just for emotional support

That her first examples of agent workflows is "check industry news," "check on a competitor," and "give me an email summary" is pretty telling.

I feed the transcript from this conversation into AI and I asked for the blunt feedback on the quality of the conversation and I got this: Person 1 (Alli Miller); Claimed level: Expert; Real level: Intermediate β†’ Advanced-Intermediate. But here’s the critical part: Most of what she describes is: automation + prompting + connectors; not real β€œAI engineering”. Example: β€œcomplain to Claude and it builds workflows” That’s UX-layer AI usage, not deep AI capability. No mention of: model limitations, hallucination mitigation, evaluation loops, fine-tuning, embeddings / retrieval pipelines (RAG), cost optimization, latency tradeoffs πŸ‘‰ That’s a big gap for a β€œtop AI voice”. πŸ’¬ Translation into reality: She’s very good at: operationalizing AI for business users, packaging workflows, teaching non-technical people. She is NOT: pushing technical boundaries, building novel systems. She use β€œagent” loosely. Reality: scheduled prompts, tool calls, API workflows and not: autonomous decision systems.πŸ”₯ The uncomfortable truth her job is already: πŸ‘‰ 50–70% automatable today πŸ‘‰ 80–90% automatable within ~2 years. Still was good to watch this and was informative.

GREAT episode! SO much amazing content and guidance...a big thanks, to both of you! Just yesterday, I decided to focus on a manual task that I have been doing in Adobe InDesign for the past 10 years. In an afternoon of back & forth, all I need to do now is upload a CSV file, with the customizations (which is the next thing to go), and Claude renders the files almost-exactly as I did manually. "Artistically comparable," I would say, with the correct fonts, and measurements all squared-away.. It's a superpower of-sorts, really...to have a problem, invest some time in working with Claude or Codex or Gemini to help you solve it (I have used all, in the past six months to accomplish a particular stated-goal), and coming out the other side of that invested time with a capability that solves it, in full.
