Today, ChatGPT and I discuss the 5 stages of focus, starting from becoming aware of the need for focus all the way through to releasing focus. We explore strategies and techniques for each stage, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between them to better enhance productivity. We end with additional tips for navigating each stage effectively.
Technical Note: This episode was once again recorded with a custom Deepgram voice chat app, using the ChatGPT Shimmer voice. Unfortunately, the desktop app isn’t connecting to voice mode, so I wasn’t able to record directly from the app itself.

This week, ChatGPT and Trevor Lohrbeer dive into the concept of "boomerangs”—messages we sent out whose quick replies can distract us. We discuss how actions like sending texts or emails can cause unpredictable interruptions and share strategies to manage these effectively, including the three A’s: Acknowledge, Ask, and Answer. Join us for tips on maintaining focus and boosting productivity by controlling these disruptions.
On a technical note, this is the first episode I’ve recorded using the new ChatGPT desktop Mac app. In it, you’ll notice a different voice and a snappier response. How does this episode sound to you vs previous episodes?

This week Trevor Lohrbeer talks with ChatGPT through the Hume AI Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to discuss the advancements introduced with OpenAI's new GPT-4o model. They discuss including the model's impressive responsiveness, multimodal capabilities, and its potential to revolutionize AI interactions by understanding text, audio, image, and video in real time.
They also explore how GPT-4o might be a stepping stone to training GPT-5 with native audio and video and the possibility of incorporating additional sensory data from robots. they emphasize how these innovations could transform human-AI interactions, making them more natural and intuitive on a level we haven’t seen before, while introducing new potential risks.

Can an AI actually listen to music, as opposed to merely hearing sound waves and processing them? In this episode, listen to hear how Hume AI, the first empathic AI, does attempting to listen to music, and how ChatGPT analyzes its performance afterwards.
To test whether Hume can hear the emotion sung within a song, distinct from the lyrics, I had ChatGPT write emotionless lyrics, then had Suno generate songs using these lyrics with different emotions. Listen to the full songs of each emotion used in this episode below.

What is the future of AI music now that we have tools like Suno and Udio that can create songs complete with vocals?
In this episode, ChatGPT and I explore how AI music will change how we create and use music in the same way that smartphones changed how we create and use photos. It’s not what you think.
This episode features 3 songs created by Suno AI. Listen to the full songs using these links:

In this week's episode we leave ChatGPT behind to talk to Hume, the new empathic AI announced last week. We talk about how exactly Hume differs from text-based large language models like ChatGPT and Claude, and how it can respond so quickly. Then we dive into a few of the potential places where Hume has a big advantage over text-based models like ChatGPT.
For those interested, the entire episode was recorded this week in Descript, and this was my first long chat with Hume. Previously I had only asked a few test questions. Hume definitely felt a lot more natural to talk to and required a lot less editing, since the long, awkward pauses between when I finished speaking and the AI started weren't there. -
In this "thought-provoking" episode, ChatGPT and I delve into new developments in making AIs think more effectively. Specifically, we'll be talking about how large language models like ChatGPT can be programmed to think before they respond and what types of thought might be involved in that thinking process. At the end, we talk about how this represents one of the core ways agents are expanding beyond simple chat applications, with a lead in into next week where we'll be discussing agent frameworks and patterns.

Today, ChatGPT and I talk about a 5-layer framework I'm developing for identifying risks and opportunities within AI. In this episode, we go over the framework, talk about different AI applications at each layer, and which skills are most needed to take advantage of each layer, both as a developer and as a user of the software at that layer. In the end, we touch briefly on the distinction between prompt engineering and conversation engineering.

In this unique episode of AI Meets Productivity, we turn the spotlight on our co-host, Trevor Lohrbeer, by having ChatGPT interview him.
During the interview, ChatGPT explores his work at the intersection of AI and productivity, getting Trevor to share insights on productivity and what he is doing to create new user experiences with large language models, including the upcoming launch of his GPT Builder Toolkit platform.
Take a listen to learn about GPT Builder Toolkit and its upcoming features. GPT Builder Toolkit is a no-code solution for adding actions to custom GPTs, supporting features like swappable prompts, user authentication and user data.

Today, ChatGPT and Trevor Lohrbeer dive into the concept of "task stacks," a method designed to enhance productivity by focusing on one task at a time.
We explore how segregating tasks into prioritized stacks can reduce distractions and align actions with intentions, making the execution of tasks more effective. We also discuss how task tasks can be combined with time blocking to further improve productivity.
By implementing task stacks, listeners can expect to improve their prioritization process and tackle procrastination in a structured, visually engaging manner.
-
In this week's episode, ChatGPT and I talk about the common pitfall of marking tasks as done too early and the implications it has on productivity.
We discuss how the Prep-Do-Wrap framework can be used to evaluate whether a task is done, when and how to schedule follow-up tasks and the distinction between a "done" condition and a "success" condition.
This episode is a brainstorm episode for a future Day Optimizer article on the topic. In this episode, I gave ChatGPT no background information about the topic. Instead, we jumped straight into the discussion. How do you think it did?
