Then we’ll meet Beatoven.ai, the AI composer that makes background music feel human again (and yes, still no ukuleles).
Finally, we’ll dive into the darker side of AI — the rise of deepfake scams and how to protect your business before it’s too late. Download the free draft, sign it, and send it to your employees to avoid being scammed!

How I Got 50% of AI CEOs to Reply in 10 Minutes — Thanks to Perplexity Comet

Last week, I opened LinkedIn and asked Perplexity Comet:

Seconds later, it listed names, bios, and company links.
Then I said:

Comet drafted a perfect outreach message.
I hit send.
Five out of ten replied within 10 minutes. 🤯

That’s when it hit me — this isn’t just a chatbot.
It’s a browser that thinks with you.

Comet doesn’t just answer questions — it reads pages, summarizes research, and acts on your behalf across the web.

If ChatGPT is your co-writer,
and Perplexity is your co-researcher,
then Comet is your co-navigator — the next natural evolution of the internet.

👉 Read my full story on how I used Comet for a month and why AI browsers are the future of work.

🎭 The Rise of AI Scams: When “Your Boss” Isn’t Really Your Boss

Imagine getting a Teams call from your CEO.
It’s her voice. Her face. Her usual “we need this done now” tone.
She tells you to wire $25k to close a “secret deal.”
You do it — because why wouldn’t you?

Except… that wasn’t your CEO.
It was a deepfake — a perfect AI clone of her face and voice.

That’s not sci-fi anymore. It’s today’s corporate reality.

💣 The Problem

AI has supercharged fraud.
Scammers don’t send typo-filled emails anymore — they send believable voices, realistic videos, and AI-written messages that sound just like your boss or partner.

• A UK engineering firm lost $25 million after an employee attended a deepfake video meeting with “senior execs.”

• Another company wired money after hearing their CFO’s voice — which turned out to be an AI clone.

• And now, scammers are impersonating vendors, employees, even investors using fake profiles, voices, and websites.

These aren’t hackers breaking in.
They’re actors with AI tools, breaking your trust.
