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.

0:14.0

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

0:20.0

Because Slackbot isn't just another AI.

Hello. Hello, get booked listeners, and welcome to The Handsell, a special weekly installment that's all about books we just can't resist shouting about.

0:58.5

This is Jen Northington, and today's hand cell is The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu,

1:04.9

which is the first book in the Dandelion Dynasty series. The third book has just recently come out,

1:15.6

and the fourth one is announced, and it occurred to me that now would be a great time for me to go back, read the first one over again, and then catch up with the series.

2:03.1

night makes my entire space feel calmer. It's the easiest way to signal to my body that it's time to

2:08.6
