I’m leaving you with one last resource, which was personally a delight to be part of, and I think provides a fantastic palate cleanser for all the workflows, strategies, and urgency we see in the industry. 

“Britney emphasizes that to use AI effectively, you have to be willing to embrace failure because it’s the ‘yellow brick road of using AI.’ The process is inherently experimental and should be treated as such. She advises thinking like an engineer, which means breaking down problems into small, manageable chunks and being specific in your prompts. Avoid the “magic engine” mentality where you provide a vague prompt and expect a perfect result.”

The real value of AI in 2025 lies in data analysis and task automation rather than simple content generation. In this Whiteboard Friday Revisited, Britney Muller revisits her 2020 predictions to provide a grounded framework for moving past the hype and AI slop by adopting an engineering mindset—breaking down complex problems into small, automatable steps while keeping human expertise at the center.

I hope this rollup has left you feeling more informed and excited about how you can automate your processes effectively.
