The AI Lessons That Will Change How You Operate

Allie K. Miller has been working in AI for nearly 20 years, and she says most of us aren't even close to using these tools to their full potential. Today, she's going to teach us exactly how to change the way we work, think, and operate with AI.

Allie built teams at IBM and Amazon, advises companies like Google, OpenAI, and Salesforce, and TIME named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in AI. Nearly two million people follow her because she's one of the clearest voices translating AI for people who aren't engineers, which is why she's the right person to have this conversation with.

In this episode, Emma and Allie get into the practical, actionable side of AI that most people never hear about—from the systems Allie has built to run her life and business, to the mistakes that keep most people stuck at the surface level.

You'll learn:

• Why treating AI like a search engine is the biggest mistake people make and how to start treating it like an employee who works for you around the clock

• The prompting shift from "senior analyst" to "CEO" that changes the quality of everything you get back

• How to build a context document about your life, business, and beyond that makes every AI interaction more useful

• The automated briefing system Allie uses to manage her calendar, goals, and priorities every morning

• The study that shows how using AI the right way can make you more creative

• What's driving the 25% gender gap in AI adoption and what women can do about it right now

If you've been holding back from using AI because this all feels overwhelming, or no one's ever taught you how to use it well, start here.
