What AI Workflows Are You Sleeping On?

from Dear Ben Hosted by Ben Fisher

Andrew Warner asked: "Every time I talk to a founder, I hear about some AI workflow I never would have thought to try. What are the non-obvious ones you're seeing?" Most people use AI to make stuff. The overlooked category: using AI to mirror things back to you. Scoring. Flagging. Routing. That's where the leverage is hiding. Ask your own question at DearBen.ai. -- # SHOW NOTES - The Make vs Mirror Matrix: you're probably doing Make — but Mirror is where the blind spots live - Jeff Brewer gets rated on clarity, decisiveness, and interruptions after every single meeting - Dan Shipper built a system that flags when he's avoiding confrontation - Wade Foster (Zapier CEO) scores team meetings against Five Dysfunctions and sends individual feedback - Pete Sena's mega prompt analyzed 13 years of my notes and surfaced patterns I'd forgotten - Chris Brownridge routes meeting actions to Linear/calendar automatically via Claude agent - One meeting. One mirror workflow. Ship it. Stack from there. -- # TOOLS MENTIONED - Motion AI Exec Coach (meeting scoring) - Granola (local-first meeting notes) - Zapier (automation) - Fireflies (meeting transcription) - Claude Desktop / Claude Code (local file analysis) - Linear (task routing) -- # ABOUT DEARBEN.AI Practical AI for CEOs who don't have time to become AI experts. Ben Fisher — 2x CEO, 3x CTO. A founder-to-founder experiment answering real AI questions from operators running real companies.
