So not only did I have a huge sort of geographical distance between us, I also had a huge time zone difference.

And so work happened completely, you know, in a completely different way for me.

And now I've moved to Seattle and I am close to my team and I have the option of going into the office or working from home.

And now that I have that option, there's something really interesting about analyzing when do I choose to work from the office and when do I choose to work from home?

And that's not something that fully remote workers really have, right?

They have to make the best with what is available to them.

Yeah, I think right now we're all in the phase with AI where we're doing it.

We're using it to do the same things basically, but maybe better and a little faster.

And as we know, like the pace, as we've seen in the data is so fast already.

then maybe that's not always the most helpful intervention is to speed things up even more.

And I've become more excited by the use cases where I see people instead using Copilot to do work in completely different ways.

And my favorite example is using it to do meetings completely differently.

And by that, I don't mean just using it to catch up on what was said or using it so you can join a little bit late or leave a little bit early.

I mean, one of the companies that I work with, they told me about a team they'd given Copilot to, this team of white paper authors.

And before they had access to Copilot, the way they would write these white papers is each specialist would write up their section, hand it off to the next specialist, write up the section, and then they would all...

sort of hand it over like from specialist to specialist until it was done.

And it was a very long, arduous, painful process.

With Copilot, they basically all got on a call and then started writing the paper out loud.

And by that, I mean, specialists would just say, this is what's going to live in my section.

And together they would discuss the abstract, discuss the conclusion, and then they would hand the transcript to Copilot and it would write the first draft.
