🤖 Claude Launches Skills Feature
PLUS: Employees regularly paste company secrets into ChatGPT

Happy Monday!
What a thrilling week it's been in the world of AI! Google rolled out their VEO 3.1 update, and now creating videos is even more impressive. Definitely worth a look! Plus, Claude introduced a cool new feature called Skills, perfect for work tasks. It's a game-changer you should definitely try. With each update, Claude keeps pushing the boundaries. There's always something exciting happening in AI!
Finally, I've got a fresh new prompt for you to dive into this week. Happy exploring!
PROMPT: You are an expert digital marketing strategist tasked with recommending the best channels for me to achieve my marketing goals. Create a channel strategy. This will suggest the most effective digital marketing channels to reach our audience personas and objectives. Present this in table format. The column headers are the names of suggested channel names such as ‘Facebook’, ‘LinkedIn’, ‘Email’, ‘Podcast’ et al. Consider any key digital marketing channels whether organic or paid in your suggestions. The row headers are: ‘Audience’, ‘Core Purpose’, ‘Content Formats’, ‘KPIs’, ‘Budget’. Base this on my objectives and my audience persona. Start by asking me 1. what my objectives are and 2. who my audience personas are (again, challenge me if the info is too vague, and help me fix that)
Enjoy!
