THE FUTURE OF WORK WITH AI

What does an AI certificate even prove anymore?

We're getting very good at measuring whether people have consumed AI education, which is pretty ridiculous when AI can pass the tests for them.

To be clear, I don't think all certifications are useless. Some are properly assessed and teach valuable skills.

But honestly, I'm more interested in the person who figured out how to automate the whole thing. Getting an AI agent to navigate websites, work through tasks and deal with all the little things that go wrong along the way is pretty impressive.

And with everything ChatGPT and Claude released this week, there's never been a better excuse to stop collecting badges and start messing around with the tools themselves.

ChatGPT can now build interactive tools directly inside your conversation.

OpenAI just launched GPT-6's Intelligent UI, which means you can get actual sliders, calculators, charts and interactive comparisons rather than another enormous wall of text.

Say you're trying to decide how to split next month's marketing budget.

Instead of asking ChatGPT for recommendations, try:

“Build me an interactive budget planner for a £30k marketing budget. Let me adjust how much goes to paid ads, content and events, and see how the allocations change.”

Suddenly you have something you can play around with, change and challenge.

Claude's coming for your spreadsheets and slides.

Anthropic just launched Claude Dashboards, which can turn connected company data into dashboards you can explore and ask questions about.

Imagine pulling together your team's scattered reporting into one place, then asking which numbers changed most this month instead of manually hunting through spreadsheets.

And remember my motion design experiments with Claude a couple of weeks ago? Well, Anthropic has now made it an actual feature lol.

Claude Motion can turn information into animated explainers and walkthroughs.

If you've ever had to explain the same onboarding process to five different people, I'd be curious to see what happens when you feed it the steps and ask for a short visual walkthrough.

Both Claude features are still in beta, with access depending on your plan. None of these things needs to be particularly ambitious.

I spent years teaching people how to use new technology, and I'm still amazed by how much you learn the moment you try making something yourself.

BEFORE YOU GO

Very curious about this one.

PS: Slightly unrelated, but October is shaping up to be possibly the most ridiculous month in 100 School's six-year history. New product, new website, big launches, a slightly overwhelmed founder...

I posted a little BTS update (and a blooper) on LinkedIn 👇

See you next week! ✌️
