Hey everyone!

Casey here, joined by Pete & Noah (more on them in a bit). 

We're thrilled to announce some seriously exciting news today.

The Intelligence Age is being ACQUIRED by The Neuron.

Translation: you’re about to transform from AI beginner to AI power user. 

Now super excited to pass it to Pete and Noah to explain what The Neuron is all about:

Yes—we’re actual humans…not ghostwriters with a ChatGPT subscription.

Our mission is simple: teach you how to use AI to get sh*t done. 

And we’ll make it feel like we’re right there chatting with you—zero fluff.

The only fluff you’ll see around here is our adorable cats!

That’s why 400,000+ leading professionals read The Neuron every single day. 

Like, check out our epic roast of Bard or 3 insane ChatGPT-4v use cases.

seriously, we’ll wait…

1. First, look out for a welcome email in your inbox – we're sending you important instructions to make sure you receive our daily updates.

2. Starting Monday, The Neuron will kick off your weekdays with everything you need to know about AI. 

3. You’ll learn something new, impress your boss, and laugh a few times. 

Before we dive in, we’d love to hear from you: drop a “hey” and share what you want to accomplish with AI! 

We’re so happy to have you as part of The Neuron family. 

See you in your inbox soon!

*Thanks for reading this far! As a treat, we’re sharing an excerpt from The Neuron today so you get a sense of how we do things…

Here’s which AI tools y’all (actually) use.

The Neuron is on a quest to find out if people are using AI and what they’re using. No fluff. No hype. No BS.

So we went straight to the source: YOU.

Last week, we asked y’all how many and which AI tools you use regularly.

Then we jumped to the Data Analyst GPT on ChatGPT to create some sexy charts, cause a photo chart is worth a thousand words. Here’s what we found:

• Most readers use 1-3 tools consistently.

• 10% of you don’t use any AI tools weekly—we let you down :(

• And 7.5% are juggling 8+ tools weekly (RIP to your wallet)!

Adds up. Most folks we chat with lean on one chatbot and one AI tool tailored to their profession. OH, and would ya look at that:

ChatGPT is the go-to chatbot for Neuron readers (& GitHub Copilot for coding). We’re *very* interested to see if this shifts with Gemini 1.5 Pro.

Also, y’all LOVE using Perplexity, probably cause we always hype it up…or maybe cause it’s just that good (it is).

Why it matters: 2023 was flooded with "this new AI tool is revolutionary" claims. 2024 is about finding those one or two tools that truly resonate.
