Summary

Allie K. Miller has been working in AI for nearly 20 years, and she says most of us aren't even close to using these tools to their full potential. Today, she's going to teach us exactly how to change the way we work, think, and operate with AI. Allie built teams at IBM and Amazon, advises companies like Google, OpenAI, and Salesforce, and TIME named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in AI. Nearly two million people follow her because she's one of the clearest voices translating AI for people who aren't engineers, which is why she's the right person to have this conversation with. In this episode, Emma and Allie get into the practical, actionable side of AI that most people never hear about—from the systems Allie has built to run her life and business, to the mistakes that keep most people stuck at the surface level. You'll learn: Why treating AI like a search engine is the biggest mistake people make and how to start treating it like an employee who works for you around the clock The prompting shift from "senior analyst" to "CEO" that changes the quality of everything you get back How to build a context document about your life, business, and beyond that makes every AI interaction more useful The automated briefing system Allie uses to manage her calendar, goals, and priorities every morning The study that shows how using AI the right way can make you more creative What's driving the 25% gender gap in AI adoption and what women can do about it right now If you've been holding back from using AI because this all feels overwhelming, or no one's ever taught you how to use it well, start here. What's the first thing you're going to try with AI after this conversation? Drop it in the comments and come back and tell us how it went.

0:00.0	So for the latest in our Career Girls Guide series, I'm bringing you the episode you need, and it's all about AI.
0:16.9	Right now, we are living through one of those moments in history where something fundamental shifts, and most people don't fully realize it until it's already happened.
0:25.9	Today, artificial intelligence is moving faster than almost any technology we've ever seen. It's changing how companies operate, how decisions get made, how creativity happens, and even how people build careers and businesses.
0:39.2	But here's the interesting thing. The real divide isn't going to be between people who are
0:44.1	technical and people who aren't. It's going to be between people who learn how to use these tools
0:49.2	and people who simply watch the change happen around them. And if you talk to the people closest to this
0:55.1	space, they'll tell you something surprising. AI isn't just about automation or productivity.
1:00.5	It's actually about amplification. It amplifies how quickly you can learn, how effectively you can
1:06.7	communicate, and how powerfully you can execute ideas. Then comes the real question, how do you
1:13.2	make sure this technology works for you instead of feeling like something is happening to you?
1:18.3	Today's guests have spent years at the centre of that conversation. She's advised companies,
1:23.3	governments and leaders around the world on how to understand and apply AI in practical ways.
1:29.4	And more importantly, she's one of the clearest voices explaining what this technology
1:33.3	actually means for the rest of us.
1:35.6	So today, we're talking about what AI really is, where it's headed,
1:39.3	and how anyone listening can start using it to become better at what they do.
1:55.6	The Start With Yourself tour kicks off on April 15th in New York City.
1:58.4	Tickets are on sale now at emigre.com.
2:03.2	Starting a business sounds exciting until you realise how many pieces you actually need to put in place. It's not just forming an LLC. It's your address, your website,
2:09.2	your email, your operating agreement, the things that make your business feel real. That's where
2:13.7	today's sponsor, Northwest Registered Agent, comes in. They help you build a complete
