Twelve months ago, the Productivity Commission told the Australian Government not to impose mandatory guardrails on AI. Existing laws would do. Don’t chill innovation. Two weeks ago, the Prime Minister stood up in Sydney and reversed the lot. Australia is moving from voluntary instruments – the AI Ethics Principles of 2019, the Voluntary AI Safety […]

Forty billion dollars spent on enterprise AI. Ninety-five per cent of organizations saw no measurable impact on profit. Gallup just worked out why. And it isn’t the technology. Their 2026 State of the Global Workplace report carries a subtitle I had to read twice: The Human Side of the AI Revolution. I’ve spent two years

I’ve just read one of the best productivity reports of 2026. Almost every word of it could have been written in 1996. Both of those statements are true. And the second one is not the criticism it sounds like — it’s the most important insight in the entire report, hiding in plain sight. Let me

Last week I got pulled into a conversation with a good friend about her 15 year old daughter. I don’t have children and there’s a reason for that. I would parent like my parents parented, which is clearly not the done thing today (although I think I turned out pretty well). I ran the situation

In last week’s EveryDay AI demo video, I showed you how to use Notebooks in Copilot. I look at it as a cross between projects and NotebookLM.

In today’s Everyday AI video, I take you on a journey with me to set up and execute two tasks in Claude Cowork. One was easy. The other was a bit of an experiment. Both saved me real time — and gave me a few things worth sharing. TASK 1: The participant reconciliation that used

I wanted to let you know about a couple of new offerings – and my 10% EOFY discount. Anything invoiced before 30 June, to be delivered in the next financial year will be eligible for a 10% discount (especially great if you have a ‘use it or lose it’ budget that magically goes ‘poof!’ next

Officially called the Model Council. This is truly a unique feature of Copilot and one that I quite like. Hi, I’m Kim.
