  • AI Policies Versus Manifestos Podcast - What's Your AI Manifesto?

    AI Policies Versus Manifestos Podcast - What's Your AI Manifesto? 

    AI Policies Versus Manifestos Podcast - 

    What's Your Ai Manifesto? 

    Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

    In this podcast we tackle the hot topic of AI policies vs AI manifestos. 

    Why? Standard AI policies are often restrictive, focusing on what employees cannot do. While necessary for legal and IT security, these "dumb" policies can stifle innovation and encourage "shadow AI"—the secret use of unapproved tools.

    We recommended our solution: to create an "AI manifesto" alongside the policy. 

    Why? 

    • A manifesto is a proactive and visionary document that outlines how the company will use AI to achieve its goals. 

    • It acts as a set of encouraging guardrails, defining opportunities, aligning with company values, and promoting experimentation within safe boundaries.

    This dual approach empowers teams in departments like marketing and sales to innovate responsibly. 

    The core executive takeaway: By first establishing a vision and guiding principles with a manifesto, companies can foster a positive and productive AI culture, ensuring the technology is used effectively and safely, rather than being driven underground by fear of breaking rules.

    Pro Tips For AI Beginners - The AI Moment Podcast With Danny Denhard & Jonathan Wagstaffe

    Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

    This conversation between Danny and Jonathan covers essential AI tips for executives and business owners.

    Jonathan emphasises that AI prompting uses natural language - no special syntax required. 

    However, generic prompts like "write me a marketing plan" produce generic results. Better outcomes require providing context: upload company documents, share business plans, or explain your specific situation before asking for help.

    Key techniques shared include:

    • Tell the AI what role to play ("you are an expert lawyer")

    • Specify your target audience ("explain this to an intelligent 15-year-old")

    • Use voice input for faster interaction, especially for busy executives

    • End prompts with "ask me clarifying questions if unclear"

    • Cross-prompt between different AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for varied perspectives

    Danny highlights using AI for executive summaries and thought organization through voice dictation. Both recommend starting with personal use cases (recipes, Airbnb hosting) to build comfort before workplace applications.

    The core executive takeaway: AI excels at providing clarity of thought and reshaping concepts, typically delivering 6-7 out of 10 results that you can refine further.

  • Learn AI In 5 Days - 5 Day AI Plan AI Moment Podcast
    | 08/08/2025

    Learn AI In 5 Days - 5 Day AI Plan AI Moment Podcast

    Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

    Danny and Jonathan focus on practical advice for executive beginners on their AI journey

    They recommend starting with a simple approach: choose one AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini), create a free account, and install it on your phone so its always at your finger tips.

    Danny suggests a structured five-day learning plan:

    • Day 1: Ask "Help me understand X about Y" with a real business problem - Danny uses Product pricing as his example 

    • Day 2: Plan a team offsite or meeting - ask AI to help you plan a specific offsite and make it actionable 

    • Day 3: Brainstorm solutions - brainstorming is often a use cases many users rely on AI for 

    • Day 4: Request different approaches to existing challenges - this is the use case that unlocked AI for many at a recent AI workshop Danny held 

    • Day 5: Create templates for repetitive tasks - templates and frameworks are usually created for you and something most will never create themselves   

    Jonathan emphasises starting with personal, non-work topics to build comfort with AI tools - like workout plans, recipes, or book recommendations. 

    He also highlights using natural language and voice commands on mobile apps.

    Danny and Jonathan stress the importance of testing, learning, and evaluating AI responses for truthfulness and trustworthiness. Danny 3T’s are time, trust and truth. Save you time if you trust the answers and find them truthful enough to put your name to. 

    The core executive takeaway is to experiment with AI tools gradually, moving from personal use to professional applications while building confidence through hands-on experience. You won’t unlock the best uses of AI on the first try but having a plan with 5 actions to take will build confidence in using them and in the tools in general.

    The AI Moment Read Me Episode

    Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

    This episode is introducing AI Moment podcast series by Danny Denhard and Jonathan Wagstaffe. The podcast is focused on AI implementation for businesses. 

    Danny & Joanthan identified common themes from their work with organisations of all sizes: business leaders understand AI's importance but struggle with where to start, which tools to use, and how to implement it practically.

    The podcast addresses recurring concerns including - 

    • tool selection 

    • security 

    • data protection 

    • ownership 

    • cost management 

    • team transitions 

    Why for leaders? Leaders find AI complicated, constantly evolving, and potentially expensive, often worrying about doing it wrong and having to restart.

    The series offers bite-sized 7-8 minute episodes designed for busy professionals who can't commit to hour-long AI podcasts. Each episode tackles one specific aspect of AI implementation, combining Jonathan's market experience with Danny's hands-on work with C-suite executives and department heads.

    AI Moment podcast targets anyone from AI beginners to those already using basic tools like email writing who want to expand their capabilities, providing actionable takeaways.

    ChatGPT5 First Thoughts

    Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

    On "The AI Moment" podcast, Jonathan Wagstaffe and I discuss our initial thoughts on the recent release of ChatGPT-5 and other AI models released, such as claude 4.1 and a quick temperature check on Amazon Alexa+.

    ChatGPT-5 Key Points:

    • Simplification: OpenAI has merged its various models into a single ChatGPT-5, simplifying the user interface. An auto-selector feature now analyses the prompt and chooses the appropriate processing model, leading to greater use of its "deep thinking" capabilities.

    • Legacy Access: After initial backlash, OpenAI has allowed users to revert to older models like GPT-4 (If you want to change to other models you need the £200/$200 p/m package)

    • Performance: The new model feels quicker, and token usage is cheaper.

    • Expectations vs. Reality: The update is seen as an incremental improvement rather than the "game-changing step change" many anticipated.

    • Accuracy: OpenAI claims it hallucinates less, but Jonathan & I both stress the continued need for human verification. Getting accurate results requires more precise context in prompts. The model is also reportedly less overly agreeable than previous versions. Remember the 3Ts - time you need to invest into the output, truth - how truthful is the answer and trust - do you trust the output enough to put your own name and reputation on it

    General AI Market & Advice:

    • Claude has also reduced its prices, following suit with OpenAI. It’s a race to the bottom (already) in terms of pricing 

    • The hosts note that the AI landscape is a constant "arms race," meaning the "best" model changes frequently and depends on the specific task.

    • The main advice for users is to experiment with different platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to find the one LLM you prefer. We emphasise treating AI like a "junior coworker" whose work must be verified for accuracy and truthfulness before use.

    • Remember my 3T’s, Time (save you time and give you time back) Truthful (is it truthful in its answer - you should check) and do you Trust it (would you put your name and reputation to the answer or output)
