Hey👋,
I'm Giacomo

Thanks for reading my daily (human) curation of AI and marketing ideas

Navigating LinkedIn posts is frustrating as hell.

 

So I vibe coded my way out of it.

 

On my new website, you can easily browse and search through all my LinkedIn posts. I wish every creator had one!

 

I came up with the idea about 3 years ago, when I started posting consistently on LinkedIn.

 

I tried different no-code solutions, but none really worked.

 

Then OpenAI released its first reasoning model: o1.
That changed everything!

 

o1 reasoned through the problem to find practical options tailored to my situation.

 

It didn't just help write code, but it guided me choosing tools, shaping the overall structure, setting everything up.

 

For sure it didn’t turn me into a developer. This isn’t some complex app after all.

 

But it did allow me to ship a complete solution to a problem I had for years.
I didn’t just “play” with AI, I built something real with zero coding experience.

 

So AI won’t replace developers, but it will turn more people into one, only when needed. And this is key!

 

Here’s the result:

Have a look, would love your feedback!

I finally did it!

 

I vibe-coded my new website. 🎉

 

And yes, it does vibe 😎

 

LinkedIn is amazing for content discovery.
But it’s terrible for content re-discovery.

 

So many creators are publishing blog-level content here, which I love and deliver great value to the platform.

 

But after a few days the posts are gone!
Buried under the algorithm’s next dopamine hit.

 

There is no easy way to search, filter and organise posts.

 

FRUSTRATING AS HELL!

 

So I built my own solution👇

 

You can now browse, search, and filter all my posts!
(almost all, my script doesn't like retroactive vibes, so there are some gaps I'm still filling manually. But hey, respect the vibes đŸ–ïž )

The UI is intentionally clean, but I’m considering adding date range filters and possibly post categories. What do you think?

 


Check it out, enjoy and tell me what you think,
I’d love your feedback!

Everyone: “Ai will take our jobs!”

 

Marketing people:
Sure, let it try juggling 10 custom requests, endless back-and-forths, fake “emergencies,” and your CEO who can’t find the ads on Google 😂

 

Reality is,

 

Ai thrives on linear, consistent, and predictable tasks.

 

That’s why it's already disrupting jobs for:

 

✍ Writers
đŸ’» Developers

 

As this Financial Times research shows, these are the most impacted roles so far.

 

On the other hand, "low-skills" jobs like assistants, travel agents and similar are barely touched, for now.

 

Why?

 

Because Ai (still) sucks at navigating human relations, irrational behaviour, and chaotic calendars.

 


I often say marketing is one of the most Ai-impacted industries.
And it’s true, but not in the way people think.

 

Unlike in coding, where Ai is easily replacing freelancers and contractors, in marketing Ai still cannot handle the "mess" of juggling between different projects, stakeholder expectations etc.

 

As someone smarter than me once said:
"everyone has an opinion about marketing, even though they know nothing about it".

 

Marketers might not like this, but they still have to handle all different opinions, the "mess". Something Ai is proving not good at.

 

Rather, AI is augmenting marketing work by increasing productivity and decreasing costs.

 

So paradoxically, Ai might actually increase the relevance of marketing inside orgs, driving more hires, not fewer.

 

Meanwhile, the tech crowd is facing the irony of their own efficiency:
“workflow optimisation made tech roles more, not less, fragile.”

Studying with a view 😊

 

Ai isn’t just a technological revolution.
It’s an organisational and productivity revolution.

 

For the past couple of years, most of us have just played with it.
But playtime is over.

 

Especially in marketing.

 

Unlike IT, where processes are often structured and gated, marketing is full of creativity, opinions, and unclear processes.

 

So while it’s easy to experiment with Ai here, it's incredibly hard to deploy it across professional workflows.

 

But it doesn't have to be:
💡 First simple step: get your company on ChatGPT Enterprise.

 

Every employee can include GPT in their daily workflow, in a secure manner.

 

→ Marketing teams can create CustomGPTs for generating visuals and copy that always follow brand guidelines.

 

→ Global companies can build CustomGPTs for consistent translations across markets.

 

And now, Google is rolling out the AI Function for Google Sheets.
Meaning Ai becomes as seamless as writing a formula.

 

The end goal should be higher productivity, which means:
→ More done in less time

 

As simple as that.

Ai is transforming marketing in 2 big ways:

 

1. Increasing marketers productivity.
2. Shaping consumer behaviour.

 

If you're in marketing, you must ride both waves.

 


1ïžâƒŁ Ai is not replacing marketers. Quite the opposite!
It’s making them more productive and more valuable to their bosses.

 

In-house marketers using Ai tools can now:

 

→ Design visuals and videos without agencies.
→ Write high-performing, multi-language copy.
→ Analyse data like a full-blown data scientist.

 

10x the output!

 


2ïžâƒŁ Consumers are also changing.
They’re searching with Ai tools, not just Google.

 

Your brand must be found there!

 

Plus, Ai agents will go even further, completing full purchases on our behalf.

 

Think fo the prompt:
“Buy me the best running shoes between €100–150.”

 

What brand does the agent pick?
What site does it trust?
Which product wins?

 

Welcome to the marketing questions of 2025!

Let's talk numbers...

 

▶ The S&P500 drop was the 5th worst since WWII.

 

▶ After peaking in 2022, US inflation was back under control, only to increase again in 2025.

 

▶ US consumers now expect the same level of unemployment as during the financial crisis.

 

▶ Business confidence in the US dropped again, after increasing in 2024.

 

▶ Weekly bankruptcy filings in the US reached the same levels of 2020, and almost the same level of 2009, at the peak of the financial crisis.

 

▶ There's now recession probability of 45%.

 


Not too bad 😅

Ai use case of the day:

‍

draw financial charts in minutes.

‍

Few days ago I published a chart showing the performance of some financial assets including Bitcoin and Gold.

‍

Instead of downloading the data from somewhere and format a chart in Excel (would have taken me around an hour), I asked ChatGPT to make it for me (few minutes work).

‍

Lately, I've been a bit disappointed with the Data Analysis feature of GPT, therefore I just asked to write a Python script and I simply pasted it into Google Colab.

‍

Step 1: ask GPT to create a Python script.

Step 2: create a new project in Google Colab.

Step 3: literally just paste the script in the project.

Step 4: click on the play icon and run the script.

Step 5: download the chart in an image format.

‍

That't it!

Maybe Trump should have listened to his own advice of "making sound financial decisions" 😅.

‍

His companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six times!

‍

1991: Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City filed for bankruptcy due to inability to service its debt.

‍

1992: Trump Plaza Hotel filed for bankruptcy, leading Trump to lose his 49% stake in the hotel to lenders.

‍

1992: Trump Castle Hotel and Casino filed for bankruptcy.

‍

2004: Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts filed for bankruptcy; Trump reduced his ownership from 56% to 27%.

‍

2009: Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for bankruptcy after missing a bond interest payment.

‍

2014: Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for bankruptcy again and was later acquired by Carl Icahn in 2016.

‍

2025: America files for bankruptcy after introducing random tariffs? 😐

‍

But wait, it was an April's fool! đŸ€Ł

Hey, wasn’t Bitcoin supposed to be the digital gold??

 

To me, it just looks digital, not gold. đŸ€Ł

 

As always, Bitcoin is moving in the same direction as the stock market.
No hedge whatsoever.

 

Meanwhile, gold does exactly what an hedge asset is supposed to do:
it moves in the opposite direction of the stock market.

 

And it's done the same for decades now.
It starts growing when things get euphoric in the stock market, and then spikes when crisis finally hits.
It happened in 2008 for example.

 

So no,

 

Bitcoin ≠ Gold

 

At best, "it’s a tech stock with a fan club." cit. ChatGPT
