The latest from the dark side
Malware, jailbreaks, and solving hallucination issues
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI copilot that transforms your documents, notes, and conversations into quotes, shareable content, and a queryable database.
This week, a two minute example.
We built Heyday as copilots for our work. Here I build out messaging strategies using the great MKT1 playbook, a recent call, and Heyday. Take a look below.
If your work requires you to connect the dots, try Heyday as your thought partner free for the next two weeks. You deserve a helping hand.
