Announcing a brand-new podcast: “How I AI” with Claire Vo 🔥

**Lenny Rachitsky** (0:04)
Today, I've got something really special for you. You may not realize this, but we're living through one of the most extraordinary moments in history. How we live, how we work, and how we build is all changing with the rise of AI. It's both exciting, but it's also often overwhelming. Many of us are wondering if we're falling behind, what we should be paying attention to and what we can safely ignore, and also just how to best use some of these new tools and technologies in our lives and in our work. That is why I am so unbelievably excited to announce the launch of a new podcast called How I AI with Claire Vo. The mission of Claire's new podcast is to show you how people from all walks of life have figured out how to use AI tools in their day-to-day life to improve both the quality and efficiency of their work. What makes this podcast unique is that it's designed to give you highly practical and actionable tips and tricks and workflows that you can copy and start using immediately. No philosophical debates about the future of humanity or pontification on what might be possible someday. Each episode is going to be about 30 minutes, often shorter. The guest will share one or two specific use cases that they found useful in their work, and there will be live screen sharing to show you exactly how they do everything that they describe. I couldn't imagine a more perfect host for this podcast than Claire Vo. Claire is an engineer, a three-time chief product officer, a founder, and on the side has been building her own AI product that's now making six figures. What I love about Claire is that unlike a lot of people online, she doesn't just talk about using AI. She lives and breathes it and builds with it, and is constantly sharing everything she's learning online. I can't wait for you to learn from her and from her amazing guests. This is the first ever new podcast under the Lenny's Podcast Network. Depending on how this goes, we may add more podcasts down the road. And just to be clear, nothing changes with Lenny's Podcast.
This is just more free content coming your way every Monday morning. If you're building products, leading teams, starting a company, or just want to learn how to actually use AI in your life, this podcast is for you. What follows is the first episode of the podcast. If you like what you hear, head on over to howiaipod.com to find future episodes. And a pro tip for the richest experience, since there's going to be a lot of screen sharing and live demos, you're going to want to watch the video version. So definitely check things out on YouTube or on Spotify, which includes video. Now, here is the first episode of How I AI with Claire Vo.

Can you do something that used to take two weeks in two hours? And that's like a 40 times speed increase. So that's kind of like the number that I have in my head generally. Like what's the most optimistic case if you kind of remove all the bottlenecks, something that would take 40 hours would take one hour.

If you're suggesting to us that AI is going to raise the bar on what's possible to do, you are certainly setting the standard.

**Sahil Lavingia** (2:51)
The majority of human engineering will be removing tech debt such that AI engineers can actually shift features. It's also scary, I think, which is why I think so many people shy away from this stuff. It's like there is this part why change is uncomfortable is that change can kill you. There's like a fear of change. It's like job security, right? But at the end of the day, I think it's sort of also job insecurity.
