#139 – AI That Actually Helps You Work + Zoom P4 Next
Description
Michael and Damashe talk about how they are actually using AI to get work done, not just write blog posts. They also dig into first impressions of the Zoom P4 Next, an accessible portable recorder and USB interface.
In this episode, they cover:
- Using GitHub Copilot and Gemini 3 in VS Code for real projects.
- Letting AI help plan features for the Builder tool and solve scheduling headaches like an 8 hour Friendsgiving event.
- When AI is helpful for planning, routes, and admin work, and when it still gets in the way.
- Privacy concerns around feeding financial data and messy spreadsheets into online tools.
- What the Zoom P4 Next is like in the hand, how it compares to the original P4 and Vocaster, and what Mac users should know about routing and Loopback.
