Hi Reader, For a long time, people have asked me how I use AI as a parent and homeowner. My answer was usually: constantly for work, but not much for running my household. It can’t do my laundry. Spoiler: AI still can’t do laundry. But lately I’ve been handing agents a LOT more of my life admin. They’re finding vendors, sending emails, organizing the school calendar, following up, and bringing me decisions instead of another pile of tabs to read. If you’ve wondered what an AI agent could do...

Hi Reader, I’m back from maternity leave! I’m still digging into everything that piled up while I was out, and my full thoughts on the AI maternity mode experiment are coming soon. In the meantime, here is what I’ve been playing with. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I love Grok Bot I’ve avoided using Elon Musk’s AI products until now. Partly because I didn’t need another AI tool. I was perfectly happy with the front-runners I was already using. And partly because, honestly, the Elon of...

Mollie is on maternity leave. This newsletter was drafted by AI agents she set up before going offline. Read about her AI-powered maternity leave experiment here. Hi Reader, I think we’re getting the conversation about AI and parenting backwards. The prevailing message to parents right now seems to be: be very, very careful. AI is dangerous for kids. Don’t let it replace human connection. Don’t outsource parenting to a machine. Obviously, use common sense. But I increasingly think all this...

Mollie is on maternity leave. This newsletter was drafted by the AI agents she set up before going offline. Read about her AI-powered maternity leave experiment here: molliemueller.com/maternity-mode With all the AI talk, I realized I never actually updated you all on the baby. He’s here! Louis Henry Mueller, born June 2nd, and everyone is doing well. The hospital even offered to install the latest Anthropic chip directly into his brain to save him the whole interface era. Phew. Big sis Ayla...

Mollie is on maternity leave. This newsletter was drafted by the AI agents she set up before going offline. You can read about her AI-powered maternity leave experiment here: molliemueller.com/maternity-mode Hi Reader, When people hear "advanced AI skills," they picture a certificate. A course you finish, a badge, some technical thing you either have or you don't. So a lot of people decide they are behind before they have even started. The numbers say the opposite of what that fear assumes....

Welcome back to Watch Me AI If you're new here, or missed this week's announcement, quick context: I'm Mollie and I run Watch Me AI, where I teach people how to actually put AI to work in their business and life. This week I had my second baby. Instead of pausing everything for three months, I handed the business to a set of AI agents I built before going offline. I'm calling it Maternity Leave Mode, and I'm running it as a public experiment so you can see what holds up and what breaks. Read...

Welcome back to Watch Me AI A big update this week: I’m having a baby! If all goes according to plan, by the time you're reading this, our second child will have arrived earlier this morning. As I write this, I could not be more excited to meet our little guy. Here’s the second big thing: I’m not pausing my business while I’m on maternity leave. Instead, I’ve spent the last few weeks building a system that will keep this newsletter going, keep LinkedIn updated, keep generating income, and...

Welcome back to Watch Me AI If you’re new here, great to have you. Watch Me AI is where I share practical ways to use AI in your work and life. Here are a couple of past issues to get you started: It's time to switch to Claude and "How can I make more money?" Hi friends, I was in The Wall Street Journal this week in a piece about people whispering to their computers. This is funny, mildly embarrassing, and completely accurate. I use Wispr Flow constantly. I dictate prompts, emails, messy...

Welcome back to Watch Me AI If you’re new here, great to have you. Watch Me AI is where I share practical ways to use AI in your work and life. Here are a couple of past issues to get you started: It's time to switch to Claude and "How can I make more money?" OpenAI released GPT-5.5 recently, and I’ve been deep in it through Codex. Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent and very similar to Claude Code. You give it access to a folder of files, tell it what you want to build or fix, and it works...
