AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another

AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot

This is episode 317, and we're recording on February 8th.

I'm Amanda Nelson, and I'm here with Jen Northington, and we are coming to you from Book Riot.

Hello.

Hello, good morning. It took me all six tries to get today's wordle, and I was very stressed out about it because I had three of the letters in the right spots on my third word. Yes. But then there are a lot of words that it could have been, and I was like, oh, my God, I'm not going to get it,, but I did. Few. I have, yes, I had the same experience. I got the three middle or one, two. I got the two of the middle ones and one on the end. And then that, of course, can be 15,000 different things. Yes. So I also got to six. I recently had my first one that I didn't get. And it was just my identity as a word person has been called into question. I was very upset. Just kidding. I wasn't upset. But I was frustrating. I was like, what is it? I don't understand. I've come very close. I don't think I've had a day where I, or maybe I did have, I can't remember now. If I did, I blocked it.

It's totally possible. I've had a day where I didn't get it. I have noticed that there's a

window. There's like a wordal window for my brain where I cannot do it before coffee. I cannot do it

after like three because my brain starts to turn off. That's fascinating. I have to do it between,

like during working hours. I have to do it between, like, during working hours.

I have to do a word.

Yeah.

Speaking of Wordle, do you appreciate the segue.

We have Wordle-inspired merch available.

We have hoodies.

We have T-shirts.

We have a cool little mug that, like, just calls out to you to be drinking coffee while you do your whirdle or after because, as I have said, I need to be caffeinated before I can do.

So if you go to bookride.com slash merch, you will see all of our wordle-inspired merch. Of course, the words that we picked for this design are book-related and reading-related.
