## Resource

Bryan McCann, CTO and co-founder of You.com, joins Beyond the Prompt to discuss how AI is changing the way people search for information, work day to day, and think about productivity. Drawing on his experience as an AI researcher, Bryan explains how he shifted from measuring productivity by writing code to focusing on making machines work continuously by “keeping the GPUs full,” and how that mindset applies to individuals, teams, and leaders.
