Navigate Through Noise: Choosing the Right AI Tool for You?
Manage episode 518002752 series 3690082
When everyone's hyping the next revolutionary AI tool, Jessi Frey is asking a different question: "What problem are we actually solving?" As Head of AI Innovation at Game Lounge and former product manager at Dyson and Nokia, Jessi brings a ruthlessly practical perspective to cutting through AI noise.
This episode is not about what AI could do—it's about the 10 tools she uses daily to ship faster, create better, and automate smarter.
Talking points include:
- How startups can spin up products "very quickly without a big team or technical know-how" using AI-driven tools for rapid validation.
- Jessi's curated toolkit of 10 AI solutions organized into everyday assistance, creative production, and custom workflows
- Why mastering one tool beats tool-hopping, and how to avoid the shiny object syndrome plaguing AI implementation
Listen to find out more about:
- Why Jessi runs identical prompts through three different LLMs, and which scenarios demand which tool.
- The specific Make.com + OpenAI automation flow that analyzes content against brand guidelines at scale.
- How an 8-year-old's natural voice interface usage reveals the next platform shift, and which tool is building it.
