What if every morning you woke up to the biggest breakthroughs in your industry - already summarised and ranked before your first sip of coffee? In this Quick Win episode, I speak with Morgan Brown, Vice President of Product and Growth at Dropbox, about how he uses AI to simplify his workday - from automating his inbox to designing a daily AI briefing that scans and summarises the entire landscape of research papers, newsletters, tweets, and podcasts. Starting with one simple prompt, Morgan built a system that cuts through noise and delivers only what really matters. Morgan and I discuss: How Morgan uses AI to automate routine tasks like email triage and information curation. The process he followed to build a personalised daily AI news digest. Why his approach started not with coding, but with one simple question: What do I keep checking every day? How he refined his system through prompts, iteration, and feedback loops — just like editing a great piece of writing. The mindset shift from consuming more information to filtering for signal over noise . KEY QUOTES “I realised there was no way to stay on top of that volume consistently - so I started with a prompt.” “I didn’t start with coding or fancy tools. It started with asking, what sources do I keep checking and how can I pull them together?” Connect with Morgan Brown on X (Twitter) , LinkedIn, and his website https://www.morganbrown.co/ Check out Morgan’s book Hacking Growth .
