Meetings should be reserved for when speed or relationship-building are the primary goal. Not information sharing. The teams that get this right thrive in remote work and AI adoption. The teams that get this wrong run in circles then wonder why they’re not getting anywhere.

It’s one of those weeks where it’s hard to choose just one new AI feature to do an Idea Kitchen recipe on. Currently testing five different use cases. Let’s see which one wins for the Tuesday publish 👀

Tinkered with Zapier’s new AI Agents feature last week and built a decision logging bot. You just react to any Slack thread with the 🏁 emoji. The Agent grabs the messages, summarizes the decision/context, and files a clean entry in your Notion Decision Log. Saves a bunch of back and forth later.

Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Here are the stats behind the milestone: • Started in March • 106 AI use cases tested • Leading to 18 articles (16 AI recipes, 2 ‘AI at Work’ profiles) • And 4 ‘Cooking with AI (Live!)’ events to demo the recipes • 50% open rate (unheard of for an AI newsletter)

Played around with Gemini connections last week and found it to be fantastic for quickly adding events from an image. You just drop in a screenshot, flyer, or PDF. It spins up a GCal event with all the details filled. Great for paper calendars from your fitness classes or your child's camp!

This might seem like a small milestone to most, but it's a big deal to me. After 7 years of running RWP, launching something new (in a completely different space) was scary. But hitting $1k ARR is a sign people are finding value in Idea Kitchen. Tiny win, big feels.
