Howdy %Name%,
Mary Meeker, a very well-known researcher, released this mind-blowing 340 page deck on AI Trends over the weekend and it is INSANE❗
As I mentioned there are 340 slides in her deck. I’d say 2/3rds of them are mind blowing!
Below are my super-high level takeaways:
- Growth of user base (adaptation of AI) is unprecedented
- Both Electrical and Cost per Token has plummeted
- AI is the #1 priority for the world’s corporate giants
- AGI (where AI can learn / do anything people can do) will be achieved soon❗
I used NotebookLM to create a summary podcast which is very good and you can listen to here.
I can’t emphasize enough of just how much the world is going to be changing around us in the very, very near future.
So, if you’ve been casually sitting-back on AI, I highly encourage you to look closer / embrace it.
Our world is truly about to go through a transformation like we have never seen before!
Now on with the show…

How to Compile Scripts in AutoHotkey v2- Beyond the Basics
A YouTube subscriber commented on our AHK v1 video (about compiling scripts) how to do the same thing in AHK v2.
While it can be very simple, I asked Isaias to walk through some of the lesser-known options in this video.

18 ways to Automate programs with AutoHotkey
I’ve been helping level up a few AHK Hero members and reminded them about this webinar we put on a few years ago.
We talk about 18 ways to automate programs with AutoHotkey.
While we’ve added a couple to this list, the video is still a great overview of how you can use AutoHotkey to automate your programs.

Improving People’s Lives: Story #51
A client asked us to create a custom tool to replace his “snippet tool”. I realized, we could directly import it into Prompt Assistant.
But then he asked a very interesting question
Can Prompt Assistant send RTF text❓
I explained our Clipster library allows for pushing HTML or Pictures which he confirmed will work for him.

What we utomated this week with AutoHotkey #88
In this video I talk through the 121 AutoHotkey scripts we worked on in the past week!
What we automated with AutoHotkey #88
Client’s say…
While I learned a lot of stuff about AutoHotkey myself first through the official documentation,
it’s always nice to learn extra from third parties about certain topics, what potentially interesting libraries
are out there that I haven’t heard of or in general seeing how others use AutoHotkey and learning through that
accidentally something new is nice. I appreciate your time and effort! — Animan8000

P.S. AI has been the focus of many of our AHK hero calls and I anticipate it being even more so in the future.
We are trying to incorporate AI in more and more of our tools and you should be too!
This short 3 minute video by Nate Jones helps emphasize this point.
