Why this hour exists

There's more AI news than anyone has time to read.

New models, new features, and new assistants arrive every week. Tool budgets are up, governance is still being written, and a lot of capable people are learning AI alone, quietly, after hours.

This is one hour a month to see what actually matters. No hype and no lecture. Bethanie opens the tools and shows you, live, and you learn it alongside other leaders asking the same questions.

What you'll leave with

  • The few releases that matter for your organization this month, and the ones you can skip
  • A live look inside the tools, working on real leadership tasks
  • A plain read on governance and shadow AI, including what's happening in your organization whether you see it or not
  • One move to make with your team this month
  • 1.0 SHRM PDC and a Certificate of Attendance, live or on the replay

November's focus

Personal AI assistants just went mainstream. Here's what leaders need to decide.

In September, Meta, OpenAI, and Google all pushed personal AI agents to the public. These assistants handle your inbox, your calendar, your research, and your follow-ups. Many of your people will try them on their own first.

  • 01

    What they really do

    See the assistants working live, with every step narrated, so you know what's real and what's still marketing.

  • 02

    How they fit a leader's day

    Watch one handle the work you actually do: email, meetings, research, and follow-ups.

  • 03

    What to decide first

    The questions to settle before your teams connect these tools to company email, calendars, and chat.

You'll watch, not work. There are no exercises, so it's easy to join from a work computer.

The October State of AI · Covers September

September in AI: the highlights.

The month every major AI company launched a personal agent. Here's what happened and what it means for you.

  1. What's new

    Personal AI agents went mainstream. Meta expanded its Muse agent, OpenAI launched dots, and Google brought its Gemini agent to Windows. These assistants book, buy, email, and work across your apps on your behalf.

  2. Organizations

    The shift: these agents arrive through your employees, not your IT team. Some already connect to Slack and Teams.

  3. Governance

    The risk: Washington chose voluntary industry pledges over new rules, while California signed new limits on AI in firing, monitoring, and layoffs. The rules are now yours to write.

  4. Leaders

    The move: ask your team which AI tools and assistants they use, and listen without judgment. You can't guide what you can't see.
