Welcome to the new format. Tuesdays are 3 AI updates, one hot take, one action=3 minutes. Fridays are 1 step by step workflow-5 minutes.
1. Google's Gemini can now browse the web for you Gemini Auto Browse launched last week inside Chrome. Instead of searching and clicking through results yourself, you tell Gemini what you need and it navigates the web autonomously — opening tabs, filling out forms, comparing information across sites. Google's own demo? "Go to Redfin, find pet-friendly apartments, and add collaborators." Think: researching comps across multiple sites, pulling permit history, or comparing mortgage rates — without toggling between 15 tabs. Requires Google AI Pro ($20/month) or Ultra ($250/month).
2. Canva built the first AI trained specifically on design Most AI image tools generate static pictures. Canva's new Magic Studio generates fully editable designs — listing flyers, social posts, open house materials — with proper layout, hierarchy, and branding built in. Describe what you want and it builds the actual design, not just an image. It works inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, so you can generate designs from whatever tool you're already using - for solo agents this is a huge time savings.
3. The first social network for AI agents just went live Moltbook launched last Wednesday and 1.5 million AI bots signed up in under a week. They post, comment, upvote - humans can only watch. It's weird. It's fascinating. You can browse it at moltbook.com. It's another sign of the ongoing shift from "AI as a writing tool" to "AI as an agent that acts on your behalf." Worth knowing about, not worth worrying about. Stay focused on using AI to amplify your connections with the people who already know and trust you - that's where the money is. I'll keep you posted as agentic tools become easy enough to plug into your day-to-day.
HOT TAKE
Yes, Anthropic's Cowork looks impressive - AI that can log into your CRM and draft follow-up emails automatically. But at $100/month, Mac-only, and brand new? Give it till end of Q1 to work out the kinks. Meanwhile, use this quarter to master the workflows you already have access to in the main LLMs such at Gemini and ChatGPT.
The agents who'll get the most out of Cowork in April are the ones who've already figured out what they want AI to do for them, not the ones fumbling with a $100 tool they don't have workflows for.
1 THING TO TRY
Open Gemini and go to Settings → Personal Intelligence → Connected Apps. Turn on Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. Then ask: "Search my email for conversations with past clients from the last 6 months. Who have I been talking to—and who's gone quiet that I should re-engage?"
It'll scan your actual inbox and surface the people who've fallen off your radar. Takes 2 minutes and you might find a deal sitting in your inbox you forgot about
Have a great week and I’ll see you this Friday where we’ll walk through: The Lost Client Audit - how to find past clients who are about to list before they call someone else.
If you wanna dive deeper, the next cohort of my AI Marketing course starts March 23rd. Visit the page to see almost 60 testimonials from past students.
