Allie K. Miller, one of the most followed voices in the AI<\/a> industry, says that \u201cby the time you wake up, your AI should have already been working for you for hours.\u201d<\/p>\n Formerly the global head of machine learning for\u00a0startups<\/a>\u00a0and venture capital at Amazon Web Services, Miller is among the busiest AI consultants and influencers in the industry, with more than 1.6 million followers on\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0alone. Through her company Open Machine, she advises enterprises and business leaders\u2014including those at OpenAI, Google,\u00a0Anthropic<\/a>, and Warner Bros. Discovery\u2014on how to adopt AI. In 2025, Miller was\u00a0named<\/a>\u00a0one of the 100 most influential people in AI by\u00a0Time<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In an interview with Inc., Miller says that nowadays, she largely works out of Claude Code, the agentic coding system developed by Anthropic. She keeps multiple instances of Claude Code running simultaneously in separate terminals. Because these Claude Code instances have access to Miller\u2019s filesystem, they can autonomously complete work on her behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n Miller teaches Claude Code how to complete workflows by using Skills, a feature that allows Claude Code to undertake and repeat multistep processes. Miller says that she\u2019s developed automations that generate a report summarizing all of the urgent emails she\u2019s received overnight and a daily morning briefing that runs through her entire calendar, recommending times to recharge. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019ll tell me, \u2018You have four different interviews or six client meetings,\u2019\u201d explains Miller, \u201c\u2018so I\u2019ve gone ahead and blocked out 30 minutes tomorrow for deep work.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n Another example: Every time Miller edits a social video of herself using CapCut, the TikTok-owned video editing app, she exports the video into a specific folder. Anytime a new file is added to that folder, an automation is triggered that automatically creates a transcript, a social post, and a screenshot for the video\u2019s thumbnail. <\/p>\n In general, Miller says, the best way to identify AI solutions that work for your specific use case is to simply have the AI model of your choice interview you. Tell it to ask you questions about your work, making note of areas that you feel could be more efficient or smoother. Then, Miller says, prompt it again with \u201cmake these ideas more proactive, more responsibly autonomous, and more action-forward.\u201d With just that prompt, she adds, you can get started developing your own AI solutions. <\/p>\n It\u2019s not just workflows that Miller is automating. When developing a new post for her newsletter, Miller says that she runs drafts through eight \u201csynthetic personas\u201d that she\u2019s developed, which represent the newsletter\u2019s different audience demographics. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to appease all eight and write a happy-go-lucky version of the newsletter,\u201d says Miller, \u201cbut I want to make sure I didn\u2019t miss something important. I want to make sure that a parent reading [the newsletter] isn\u2019t completely misunderstanding my take on something.\u201d <\/p>\n Miller has a similar strategy when making big career decisions. She built a self-described \u201cAI boardroom,\u201d complete with six synthetic personas, which weigh in on major company issues. Miller swaps around which six personas sit on the board, depending on her needs. \u201cIf it\u2019s a media question, maybe I\u2019m running it through Shonda Rhimes,\u201d she says, \u201cor if it\u2019s a business question, maybe I\u2019m asking Jeff Bezos.\u201d These personas give their initial opinions on the decision, and then they all begin debating with one another in a group chat. \u201cI literally had Mickey Mouse arguing with Jensen Huang,\u201d Miller adds.<\/p>\n The point, Miller says, is to get the most out of the raw intelligence offered by today\u2019s AI models. \u201cWouldn\u2019t you love to walk into a room of 10 geniuses arguing over something that you\u2019ve been struggling with, and all they want to do is help you get to the best possible outcome?\u201d she says. \u201cFor those who have a growth mindset<\/a> and thrive off of dynamic, changing, adaptable business settings, the multiagent world that we are walking into in 2026 is going to be world-changing.\u201d <\/p>\n \u2014Ben Sherry<\/em><\/p>\n
