👋 Hey what’s up!

This week felt like one long browser tab, too many thoughts open, none of them finished, and somehow I ended up deep in a thread about Grok snitching on people. (yes, really.)

Anyway, welcome back to the 💯 Digest: the one email I send where I pretend I’ve got it all together, but actually, I’m just sharing the most useful AI stuff I saw this week so we can all try to keep up.

Here’s the thing: AI is moving very fast. But not everything is worth your time. So I’ll save you the scrolls. These are the tools, drops, and ideas that stood out.

Let’s go 👇

Tool tour 🛠

We’re always on the hunt for epic tools. Here’s what stood out this week:

🤖 Circleback: Unbelievably accurate meeting notes. Seriously.
🤖 Chronicle: Impressive presentations with AI.
🤖 Twenty: The #1 Open-Source CRM.

Read. Watch. Listen. To... 📖

We’re not just learning new tools. We’re learning how to work differently. These pieces helped me think deeper (and faster):

📺 Build Faster with AI
📕 What I Learned Spending A Week With 100+ AI Leaders
📺 Just copy this to make millions right NOW with AI
🎧 AI FIRST: The Tsunami Is Already Here
📺 Make Cinematic AI Videos with Just a Prompt
📕 What people are vibe coding (and actually using)

Window Into the Future 🚀

You May Ditching Chrome soon…

This week, Dharmesh Shah (Co-founder/CTO of Hubspot) dropped a post that got me thinking.

I feel like I'm living in the future right now.
Been using the new browser called Comet from @perplexity_ai (thanks @AravSrinivas for getting me access!)
Like millions of others, I spend hours and hours a day in a browser. Specifically, Chrome.
And, Chrome hasn't

Two big players announced AI-powered browsers: Perplexity's Comet, and OpenAI’s new AI browser is coming hot on its heels. All I can think is we’re shifting from using AI as a “thing you open” to having it embedded in everything you do. Your browser is now your second brain 🧠

I did a bit of digging and here’s what that means:

You ask Comet to summarize your research, and it does it in real-time inside the tab.
Dia browser lets you visually structure info while you research, write, and learn (like an AI-enhanced mind map).
These tools don’t just save time. They reduce cognitive load.

when it comes to research and writing (and wanting to visually doing it) I am now seeing with the browser first experience is excellent.
@diabrowser are doing a good job of giving me super skills as i'm moving around the internet, trying to write the Create With newsletter.

So in the end, this is what I want you to remember: AI is no longer just a feature. It's becoming the backbone of how we work.

Try them this week:

✨ Comet (AI-native browser from Perplexity)

🎨 Dia (browser for visual research + writing workflows)

Want your team to get better with AI? 🤝

A lot of people tell me the same thing after trying one of our Atomic Challenges:

“I wish my whole team worked like this”

So we’ve been doing exactly that. Helping teams learn practical, repeatable workflows, and habits that stick.

If you want your team to try it too, schedule your FREE AI Audit here.

Until next time (drop me a reply if you have any Q’s 😊),

Max 👋
