Your AI tools are already forming opinions about you.
Granola just released its year-end wrap. Think Spotify Wrapped, but for your meetings. The AI analyzes your entire year of conversations and surfaces patterns, highlights, and personalized awards.
Jennifer Shawgo shared hers with me. Turns out Granola decided I’m “Most Likely to Convince You to Clone Yourself Digitally.” 😂
I laughed, then I sat with it for a minute. Pretty sure that award wasn’t in my high school yearbook.
A year ago, “build a digital twin” got raised eyebrows. “AI teammates” sounded like sci-fi. I wasn’t sure this message would land. Now even the AI taking notes has opinions about it.
That’s not about me. That’s about everyone who read a newsletter, tried something new, shared a framework with their team, or said “let’s figure this out together.” People like Jennifer, clients who took the leap, leaders who pushed past the skepticism, and this whole community.
The work is landing because people are doing it.
And it’s a good reminder that AI tools aren’t running quietly in the background anymore. They’re observing patterns across every conversation, every decision, every priority you discuss. You’re already training your AI teammates whether you realize it or not.
In 2026, AI will form opinions about you whether you’re paying attention or not. Being intentional about which ones is up to you.
If you want to start building your own digital twin and AI team, I linked the newsletter in the comments.
Thank you, Jennifer. This made my day. 😊
