Kris Krug Zoom Chat Summary

Community > Lecture

• The chat wasn’t just “hello, here’s my LinkedIn”—it turned into a living, breathing network of global news pros, all trading links, tools, and real talk about the AI wave hitting journalism.
• Pro tip: Don’t just watch—connect. Drop your creds, swap war stories, build your crew.

AI Tool Show & Tell

• The room was a rapid-fire showcase of the tools real journalists actually use: Notion for notes, NotebookLM, Perplexity, Ollama, Jan, LM Studio, Fireflies, and more.
• Hot tip: Experiment. Every major AI platform now has “assistants,” and you can (and should) customize them for your workflow—think of GPTs, Claude, and Gemini Gems as mini creative factories.
