A recent report has revealed innovative ways to use artificial intelligence, going beyond traditional applications, through the experience of “Alexandra Samuel,” a writer and researcher specializing in this field.
Samuel, who publishes her articles in “The Wall Street Journal” and “Harvard Business Review,” is a pioneer in exploring practical applications of artificial intelligence.
She stated that she has developed more than 200 automation systems, in addition to a personal database of ideas that she uses in crafting marketing emails.
The report highlighted, among Samuel’s remarkable methods, her use of the “Suno” application to produce songs that she uses to simplify complex concepts. Her new podcast “Me + Viv” also showcases her relationship with an AI assistant she trained to be a mentor and intellectual partner, and she also hosts opponents and critics of AI.
Practical Tools and Tips:
The report mentioned that “Alexandra Samuel” provided five essential tips for leveraging artificial intelligence in work and media production:
First, use the “Suno” platform to convert text into music. “Suno” is an AI-powered platform for producing custom music, which Samuel uses extensively in producing songs for her podcast. She pointed out that reaching the final version of a song requires repeating the attempt many times, noting that there are difficulties in changing voices, musical styles, or languages within a single song. She advised using hand-written lyrics instead of relying on automatic generation.
Second, rely on the “Coda” tool to create a custom productivity hub. This tool allows the creation of flexible documents and databases, and Samuel has used it to create a special system for tracking story and article ideas, including information about editors and contact details. With the click of a button, several ideas can be gathered into a single email with automatic updating of follow-up data.
Third, use the “CapCut” platform for AI-powered video editing. Samuel mentioned that she uses “CapCut” in addition to custom Python scripts to produce custom music videos for social media platforms, while ensuring that the written translation is synchronized with the timing of the words.
Fourth, connect the “Claude” AI assistant to documents and databases via the “Model Context Protocol MCP.” This connection allows searching within documents and asking direct inquiries to the intelligent assistant. Samuel emphasized the importance of paying attention to security aspects, especially when dealing with sensitive information or sources.
Fifth, use the “Claude Code” tool to reduce repetitive work. The tool operates locally on users’ devices and helps in writing code and performing various technical tasks. Samuel reported that she created about 200 Python programs using this tool, including merging PDF files, creating time translations for videos, and developing browser add-ons.
The report concluded by pointing out that these tools allow users, especially journalists and content creators, to expand their production capabilities, while emphasizing the need to strike a balance between innovation and security considerations.
