Episode 51 — Simple Ways to Start Implementing AI (and What’s Coming Next)

Ready to ditch the busy-work? In this episode, Jenna walks you through the no-brainer AI moves every designer can adopt today—think automatic note-takers, transcript-to-proposal workflows, and Canva templates that basically fill themselves. She then peeks around the corner at the next wave of “agentic” tools that will take the hand-offs completely off your plate. If you’re still handwriting full meeting notes or copy-pasting between five apps, this one’s your shortcut.

What we cover:

• Why recording every meeting (in-person or virtual) should be non-negotiable

• Turning transcripts and client questionnaires into polished proposals in minutes

• Building a one-and-done branded template library for proposals and mood boards

• Quick image-generation tricks for concept boards and inspo decks

• How to spot “AI-washing” and avoid tools that’ll vanish after the next big update

• The coming jump to agentic AI—where the software chains your steps together and hits “send” while you sip coffee

• Protecting your irreplaceable edge: human storytelling, strategy, and trend-setting
