Quick Win: The AI workflow that can replace your morning scroll

What if every morning you woke up to the biggest breakthroughs in your industry - already summarised and ranked before your first sip of coffee?  In this Quick Win episode, I speak with Morgan Brown, Vice President of Product and Growth at Dropbox, about how he uses AI to simplify his workday - from automating his inbox to designing a daily AI briefing that scans and summarises the entire landscape of research papers, newsletters, tweets, and podcasts. Starting with one simple prompt, Morgan built a system that cuts through noise and delivers only what really matters.  Morgan and I discuss:  How Morgan uses AI to automate routine tasks like email triage and information curation.  The process he followed to build a personalised daily AI news digest.  Why his approach started not with coding, but with one simple question: What do I keep checking every day?  How he refined his system through prompts, iteration, and feedback loops — just like editing a great piece of writing.  The mindset shift from consuming more information to filtering for signal over noise.  KEY QUOTES  “I realised there was no way to stay on top of that volume consistently - so I started with a prompt.”  “I didn’t start with coding or fancy tools. It started with asking, what sources do I keep checking and how can I pull them together?”    Connect with Morgan Brown on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and his website https://www.morganbrown.co/   Check out Morgan’s book Hacking Growth.   Get your hands on Morgan’s AI research prompt here.  Listen to the full conversation with Morgan here    My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
