After using AI tools every day for the past year, one thing has consistently stood out in boosting my productivity: using AI as an expert transcriptionist. Think about the last time you visited a healthcare professional. Often, they’re typing notes during the conversation, dividing their attention between the computer and their dialogue with you. Now, contrast that with an ER doctor—when they’re in the middle of an emergency, they don’t stop to type. Instead, a trained medical scribe documents everything in real-time, allowing the doctor to focus entirely on patient care. AI can be a powerful “scribe” in any domain. Unlike hiring just anyone, this tool brings built-in expertise to the table—whether you’re building a go-to-market strategy, processing your accounting/finance transactions, or building marketing, campaigns and the associated content creation. With AI as your domain-specific transcriptionist, you can simply speak your thoughts, letting it handle the documentation and freeing you to focus on moving your work forward more quickly. Stop typing. Start talking. Let AI do the work for you. Have you tried using AI tools this way? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
