Hey Hustlers,

AI isn’t just here—it’s already a part of your job. A global survey found that 58% of employees now intentionally use AI tools at work, and 57% admit to hiding it from their bosses to stay competitive.

But here’s the kicker: only 46% of people globally say they actually trust these systems—and just 47% have received any form of AI training.
That’s a trust gap primed for disruption.

If you want to lead—not follow—the AI wave, understanding how trust, literacy, and transparency play into adoption is your unfair advantage.

The future of AI feels Like Magic, and it’s here!

Agent.ai just hit 2 MILLION users. Here’s why it matters.

Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of HubSpot and certified startup whisperer) just dropped a mic post on LinkedIn:

Here’s the wild part:
Agent.ai didn’t even exist a year ago. And, Darmesh is building it on his own using a community-based approach.

So how did this AI side hustle go full rocketship?

The Cheat Code: Dharmesh himself.
This guy is what happens when you mix a product builder, a marketer, and a distribution channel—all in one brain.

Agent.ai is a dead-simple app that lets you create your own AI agents (like "Startup Coach" or "Legal Assistant") without needing to code.
It’s ChatGPT... but customized and useful.

Why it worked:

1. Built-in virality – Users create agents, then share those agents.

2. No friction – No login required. Just start chatting.

3. Dharmesh’s distribution power – He launched to his 1,2 mil+ followers.

4. Playground vibe – The site feels fun, like early Twitter bots or TinyURL days.

The Playbook You Can Steal:

• Make it dead simple
  The homepage IS the product. No scroll. No fluff. Just use it.

• Let users build AND share
  Think: What’s the smallest thing my users can create and feel smart about?

• Have a founder who ships
  Dharmesh built this while running a billion-dollar company. No excuses.

Big Picture:
This isn’t just about 2M users. It’s about how side projects—with AI as the engine and distribution as the fuel—can beat startups with 10x the funding.

Welcome to the new startup playbook.
One founder. One idea. Zero excuses.

The Secret Sauce to Killer Reports (Using AI Like a Pro)

Alright, let’s cut the fluff.

You're drowning in reports. Deadlines everywhere. And you're staring at a blinking cursor like it's taunting you. Wait, that is my life as well!!! 🥵

What if I told you AI could handle 80% of the heavy lifting… IF you knew how to prompt it properly?

Today, I'm giving you the 4 killer methods to turn AI into your personal writing assistant. Not some boring “copy this prompt” kind of advice. Real techniques that work and will make you save days on each report.

The 4 Methods to Make AI Your Report-Writing Superpower 👽

1. Context is King

You wouldn’t hire someone and expect magic with zero onboarding, right?

The same goes for AI. Give it the same intro you would give to a junior who has just arrived at your company.

Start by feeding it the right context:

• What the report is about

• Who it’s for

• Key data points

• What vibe you want (formal, casual, pitchy, etc.)

💡 Pro move: Paste in your meeting notes, Excel exports, or just list raw ideas. Upload any documents that provide context on the subject or example reports from previous projects. Let AI do the structuring.

2. The Echo Test

Once you give it context, make the AI repeat it back.

Why? Because this checks if it actually understood your input. It also imprints all the documents you provided for context.

Prompt:

This is like reading back your grocery list before heading to the store. Prevents forgetting the milk (or forgetting your entire message). At this stage, give any other specific instructions, like the tone or level of expertise (“This document is a legal note and could be used in court”).

3. Let It Ask You Questions

Instead of you asking 100 prompts, flip it:

Suddenly, the AI becomes your intern—asking smart, clarifying questions before diving in (same as a junior employee would).

Less guessing. More precision.

4. Use the Voice of Giants

Want your report to sound like something a Fortune 500 CEO would post on LinkedIn?

You can then instruct the AI to write in the style of someone you admire. If the person doesn't have a notable presence online, like your boss, the AI might not recognize their style. In that case, you could upload a few of their texts and label it as "PersonX" style for future reference.

Prompt:

Copywriters do this all the time. It’s called “voice borrowing.” Now you can do it instantly with AI. People used to do this even before AI, to help them learn.

Top 10 Voices You Can Steal (I Mean… Be Inspired By) 🎤

Here’s the cheat sheet of 10 business + motivational icons you can channel via AI to give your reports some serious flavor:

Want your boring quarterly report to feel like a TED Talk? Now you know who to summon. Try different voices on the same text to see the difference.

🎯 Your AI Report Recipe

If you want AI to write killer reports for you, do this:

1. Give it rich context – What’s the report about? Who’s it for?

2. Echo test – Ask it to summarize what it knows.

3. Flip the questions – Let it ask you for missing info.

4. Steal a voice – Pick your favorite business personality and have the AI write in their tone.

This isn’t just saving time—it’s making you look 🔥 in front of your team, clients, or boss.

I Tried Descript for Video Subtitles — Then Realized It Can Do More, Way More 🦾🦾

At first, I used Descript just to quickly generate subtitles for videos. I still remember the first time I tried it — I watched it work and honestly just felt grateful it was doing the heavy lifting for me. And it did a great job. The transcription was surprisingly accurate, even with background noise, multiple speakers, and non-English content.

What used to eat up 3–4 weeks of my life - Descript wrapped it up in three days. I had extra time on my hands and I started clicking around. And clicking. And clicking.

And suddenly, I was editing full audio tracks, removing filler words with a single click, and fixing awkward phrasing without re-recording anything and still didn’t scratch the surface.  

Then I realized…
Descript isn’t just a transcription/subtitle tool.
It’s a audio/video editor disguised as a doc.

What Actually Surprised Me 😱

• You can edit audio/video by editing text
  Delete a word from the transcript, and it vanishes from the audio and video. It’s surreal at first — especially if you’re used to dragging tiny waveforms in some timeline jungle.

• Filler words? Gone.
  Descript automatically detects and highlights all the “um,” “uh,” “you know,” and “like” moments — and lets you delete them all at once and it doesn’t look and sound choppy or unnatural.

• Overdub: AI voice cloning that (mostly) works
  I tried their Overdub tool, which lets you generate new audio using your (or someone else’s) cloned voice. It’s far from perfect, but it’s really good for quick fixes — like when you misspoke or need to add a word without re-recording the whole thing.

Editing video by editing text? ✂

Unnatural. Really unnatural for a timeline user, but surprisingly solid. And fun.

I tried it to:

• Cut out words and sentences – not sure how but it really works

• Add dynamic subtitles -  they actually synced properly and are customizable

• Create short teaser clips from longer recordings

Sure, it’s not made for advanced color grading or heavy visual effects. But for educational content, webinars, social media, or internal training videos — it absolutely does the job.

 Navigation & Learning Curve🙈

The interface is clean and modern, but there’s a lot packed into it. At first, I kept discovering features by accident. So if you're the type who likes to explore, Descript rewards curiosity. It can also be a bit frustrating when you can’t find a option you’re looking for.

 Is it Worth Trying?

Pros:

• Deleting parts of sentences with text-based editing saves hours and it’s a lot of fun

• High-quality transcription/subtitles (even in noisy recordings)

Cons:

• Overdub needs training and can sound robotic if not set up well

• Not designed for heavy-duty visual editing

 Final Thought 💭

I came to Descript for subtitles.
It’s was and is my go-to for subtitles and became a go-to for cutting filler words. But for now, I’m still sticking with timeline-based editors for more creative control.

If you're a content creator or just someone who wants to clean up their audio and video without opening 3 different apps — Descript is absolutely worth exploring. It’s not perfect, but some of its tools are impressively close.

👉 Try it, click around, and see how far you can get before you even touch a timeline.
