- CEOs report AI hasn't improved productivity, but the author argues they're measuring wrong.
- Author uses AI tools daily (Claude, OpenClaw, Granola) for coding, meeting notes, email triage, and research, significantly improving personal productivity.
- Productivity gains come from eliminating small frictions, not from one big transformation.
- Meeting notes automation saves 20 minutes daily; code generation speeds up side projects.
- AI tools help reclaim 30-40 minutes daily, enhancing focus hours.
- CEOs measure organizational productivity, not individual gains, leading to incorrect conclusions.
- Companies deploy AI without proper training or workflow integration, leading to poor results.
- Productivity gains are granular and personal, making them hard to measure in traditional metrics.
- AI tools ingest personal data (meeting transcripts, code, ideas), raising privacy concerns.
- Author balances productivity gains with privacy costs, using AI selectively.
- The real gap is not AI's capability but knowing how to use it effectively.
- AI hasn't failed; most companies haven't figured out how to deploy it properly.
