    Chris and Brandon discuss their individual successes in the beginning of 2023. Chris shares the progress made in his business Flexwork, which is almost back to full capacity and has hired someone to do the marketing. The conversation shifts to AI and how it is replacing certain jobs, such as graphic design, which can no longer be done full-time. They also discuss futuretools.io, a directory for AI tools, and the conversation ends with them discussing jobs that are not outsourced, but made irrelevant due to AI. The conversation is about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Futuretools IO directory, a constantly updated list of 784 AI tools categorized by different areas such as self-improvement, finance, and modeling. One example of a tool that they have is AI Found On, which allows companies to create predictable insights such as revenue modeling, credit risk scoring, and customer profiles. AI is essentially a computer doing computer stuff that is humanized. Chris shares his experience with the Midjourney software, which has helped them generate new ideas for their businesses, such as ads and apparel designs. Brandon discusses using Slides.io to quickly create PowerPoint presentations, which can be edited afterwards. Leave reviews and/or subscribe!
