Once you know what each one is built to do, knowing which to reach for becomes straightforward.&nbsp; In this How I AI episode, Neo and I cut through the jargon and map out what&nbsp;Agents,&nbsp;Projects, and&nbsp;Skills actually are, how they differ from each other, and which one to&nbsp;reach for&nbsp;depending on what you need to do.&nbsp; How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;and reduce overwhelm.&nbsp; What&nbsp;you'll&nbsp;learn:&nbsp; Why agents, GPTs, and gems are the same kind of thing (just with different names)&nbsp; When a project is the right choice over an agent&nbsp; What makes a skill different from a long prompt&nbsp; Practical AI tools for productivity and focus&nbsp; Real-world AI workflows used by high performers&nbsp; How to use AI at work without burning out&nbsp; Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load&nbsp; Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/neoaplin/ ) and via inventium.ai ( https://inventium.ai ), where he leads Inventium's AI training and upskilling work with&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;and teams.&nbsp; &nbsp; My latest&nbsp;book&nbsp;The Energy&nbsp;Game&nbsp;is out now.
