They need fewer manual tasks.
I've noticed a pattern.
A company buys ChatGPT.
Then Copilot.
Then another AI tool.
Six months later...
The team is still copying data between apps.
Still following up with leads manually.
Still sending the same emails every week.
The problem was never the lack of AI.
It was the lack of a system.
AI becomes valuable when it's part of a workflow.
When a lead fills out a form...
AI qualifies it.
The CRM updates automatically.
A personalized email is sent.
The team gets notified.
Everything is tracked without anyone touching it.
That's where the real time savings happen.
The goal isn't to use AI.
The goal is to eliminate repetitive work so people can focus on work that actually requires them.
That's why I'm spending most of my time building AI agents and automation systems rather than collecting the latest AI tools.

Experimented a bit today with Krea and image generation for a case study Iโm putting together around AI EarPods connected to OpenAI.
The focus has been on creating fashion-forward product imagery and art directing a world that feels specific to the identity, rather than just generating nice-looking AI images.
The trickiest part has been product consistency. Especially getting the EarPods to actually sit snug in the ear. If youโve worked through this process, you probably know the struggle ๐
Simply telling AI to โmake it fit more snug or in the earโ doesnโt always work. It loves to reinterpret the product every time.
Still experimenting, but getting closer. If anyone has found a good workflow for keeping products consistent across AI-generated shoots, Iโd love to hear it!

โYouโre too expensive. Iโll just use AI.โ
I think every designer has heard some version of this by now. ๐
Yes, AI can make something in 30 seconds or even less. But getting an image is very different from knowing what the brand ACTUALLY needs.
The tools are getting faster and more accessible. What still takes experience is knowing what works, what doesn't, what to change, and when to stop.
What do you think clients will value most from designers as AI keeps evolving?
The question is basically: what's the context behind the decision?
AI can generate 100 packaging options. It can't tell you which one makes sense for a brand expanding into a market where soft pink reads very differently than it does back home. Or why the typography from three...
