10 signs you're keeping up with IT times
How many do you have? Mark and count
🎤
Voice Input
Dictate instead of typing. Aqua Voice, SuperWhisper, MacWhisper or built-in dictation — drafts in minutes.
📝
Meeting Transcription
All calls automatically transcribed + summarized. Krisp, tl;dv, Fireflies, Otter.ai — save hours.
🧠
Claude as Second Brain
Not just ChatGPT. Claude — for long texts, document analysis, deep research.
⚙️
Custom Instructions
LLM knows who you are and how to respond. Set it up once — works always.
✍️
Markdown
Understand and use Markdown (.md) format for work and communication with AI.
⌨️
Access to Best Models
I have at least one paid LLM subscription (ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini).
📂
Projects in LLM
Workspaces with memory. Upload context — Claude remembers between sessions.
🔍
Perplexity Instead of Google
For research: question → answer with links. Not 10 blue links, but a ready answer.
📓
NotebookLM
Upload documents — get AI that only knows them. Podcasts from PDFs!
🌐
AI Browsers
Comet, Arc, Dia — browser with AI inside. Web pages as context for questions.
