Excellent interview! I'm a data scientist and I couldn't agree more - AI Agents and other techniques can make standard LLMs like ChatGPT perform much better at specific tasks.

Thank you for commenting, Claudia and I’m really happy you enjoyed the interview.

I don’t often hear from data scientists here so it’s great to have a new perspective!

Cheers

This was fantastic--especially with the EasyGen tutorial (that helps take it from an ethereal concept to actionable.) I also appreciate that this interview bridged the Substack/LinkedIn platforms. (Because as you said, many of us are on both.)

Thank you, Diana, it was really fun to interview Ruben and learn his story and perspective about AI.

I'm a very visual person and I find that tutorials and hands-on demo work really well to illustrate concepts.

So much passion, positivity and generosity in this, Veronica and Ruben! I love how it emphasises creativity, collaboration, curiosity and community in using AI. It doesn't have to be sterile.

Thank you, Lisa.

I love his take on AI and how he focuses on making it a tool just like any other.

The human element is still at the core of creativity, whatever that might be.

I'm really happy you enjoyed it!

This is undoubtedly one of the best interviews I've listened to, and a fantastic way to kick off the year. There are so many valuable insights to take in, and I particularly appreciated Rueben's perspective on personal branding. It's all about being useful and valuable, which naturally contributes to building your personal brand. I completely agree that LLMs are just tools to enhance one’s value and business. We all should embrace it.

Thank you, Stella and I agree.

I had some great lessons from the chat and like you, I really liked his focus on being helpful first and obsessing with what can add value to your readers/ audience.

I felt super inspired after watching it and I hope many others will feel the same way.

Cheers!

Hi! My English is not very good, and it will be great if you can make a text article based on your podcasts. I looked and from what I understood - it's VERY USEFUL! Thanks!

Thank you, Ilia, I'm so happy to hear that!

That's a great suggestion. I do a lot of interviews and webinars and I could definitely turn them into Posts.

PS: what's your first language?

So many golden nuggets!
