Hi Friend,

I want to continue bringing you immense value with these emails, so today I'm trying out a new section called "Tool of the Week." I know it’s geeky, but I love testing a variety of apps and tools. Whenever I find one that helps me "work smarter, not harder," I'll share it with you. Rest assured that I only recommend ones that I have personally tested and use myself. For full transparency, some of them will earn me a small commission if you decide to make a purchase - but there is no extra cost to yourself.

Now here’s this week’s roundup.

Tool of the Week

Magai · Next generation AI tools for content creators.

One of my favorite tools that I use every day is called Magai (pronounced "Maj-eye"). It was developed by my friend Dustin Stout as a "ChatGPT-powered super assistant." The name is a combination of Magic + AI, which is very fitting because the tool is truly magical! I started with the free trial and fell in love with it. I quickly signed up for the $9/month plan, which gives me more features at a lower cost than ChatGPT Plus. If you're into AI and ChatGPT, I hope you'll give Magai a try.

DISCLOSURE: I am proud to be a Magai affiliate. This means if you use my link to sign up for a paid plan, I will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Did you notice something different on my Twitter profile this week?

Twitter DMs have a new setting. It’s in an effort to reduce spam.

Did you know you can add “collaborators” to your Twitter account? You’ll want to see this.

I am the first guest on an up-and-coming podcast that’s being launched next month. If you’ve ever wondered about the stories behind my tattoos, you’ll love this!

The Latest From Madalyn

What Are Your Best Twitter Tips?

#TwitterSmarter Community Chat Recap. We discussed the latest Twitter news and many other topics.

What Are They Working On Over At Clubhouse?

In the week where Elon wondered why no one was seeing his Space, Madalyn and Suze talk about the ever-frustrating issue of discoverability for Twitter Spaces. There's also news about Communities and whether Spaces will be added back into the feature and more news on the slow development of Spaces for desktop. We also hear from Spaces Dashboard developer Andrew Lyons who talks us through the addition of tracking and collections to the app; both of which could make all the difference when it comes to discoverability. Meanwhile, Clubhouse co-founder Paul Davison has been speaking about future updates without giving too much away, so we think about what the future might hold for the world's first major social audio app.

Upcoming Twitter Spaces

You can easily access my past and upcoming Spaces audio conversations via Spaces Dashboard. Tap on this link to get started. At the top right, you’ll see a green button that says “Set Up Alert.” This is a brand new feature that will send an email notification wherever I go live. Then, scroll down the page to “Latest Spaces” and you’ll see what I’m hosting. You can listen to replays of past conversations and also add upcoming ones to your calendar. Scroll further down to see the ones I co-host with Suze Cooper for our weekly All Things Audio Space.
