This month’s issue covers: ☕ Has ChatGPT Work caught up with Claude Cowork? Martha put them head-to-head. ☕ Is Microsoft Copilot worth paying for? Martha takes a look and shares her verdict. ☕ AI agents are becoming part of everyday work. Find out what that actually means for Virtual Assistants, plus a few scheduled tasks you can start using. ☕ The Claude prompt Martha used to turn a client voice note into polished content in a fraction of the time. ☕ How Martha used Pinterest and two favourite AI tools to refresh her brand. ☕ A quick-win AI tip for images using a Canva feature. And, as usual, the issue contains a list of clever ways real-life Virtual Assistants and business owners are currently using AI. Everything I’ve mentioned is only available to Espresso AI subscribers.
