Ep. 01 · As You Like It · Act II, Scene 7

All the world’s a stage

Shakespeare is pop, like AI.

  1. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Jaques, As You Like It, Act II, Scene 7. Shakespeare, AI and the craft of selling.
  2. Then and now. Why is Shakespeare pop, like AI? A penny got you into the Globe: Shakespeare explained his age to everyone. AI is changing ours, and most of us still can’t see how far it goes.
  3. Why theatre. What does theatre have to do with sales? Years on stage, in Italy and in France, taught me that nothing goes as rehearsed. You learn to listen and adapt in real time. With a client it’s the same: the pitch is the script, the deal is in how you react.
  4. Why AI. Play or work? We all have AI at our fingertips. You can play with it, or you can put it to work. It looks like the same thing. It isn’t.
  5. Why an app. Why build an app? So I chose to play first: to understand AI by using it, and to get people curious about it. I built YouWill, a Shakespeare coach: clear a doubt with AI, keep a journal, play, discover the plays. Jaques shows you around.
  6. At work. And at work? It’s another game. A business needs data it can trust, AI woven into real processes, clear limits, and people who answer for the result. That’s what I do every day, and it’s where this series is going.
  7. Try it: YouWill, a Shakespeare coach in your pocket. youwill.app, App Store, Google Play soon. And you? At work, do you play with AI, or put it to work? Next Wednesday: Romeo and Juliet. The tragedy wasn’t love. It was a message that never arrived. A new episode every Wednesday, #AIWillShakeYou.
