About We Eat Robots
Welcome to We Eat Robots, the publication for productivity-hungry professionals who want to feast on the power of AI to improve work and life. I'm Tim Metz, a seasoned entrepreneur, content marketer, and productivity enthusiast on a mission to help you become a productive superhero in the age of AI.
My Story
For years, I've been fascinated by AI's potential to transform the way we live and work. In 2015, I co-founded Saent, the company behind the world's first focus device, and Lifeline, an advanced Pomodoro timer for macOS.
I've also been toying with a book idea called Eating Robots For Breakfast for eight years now (with as many drafts to show for it). The book explores how we can excel in the AI-driven future of work with our uniquely human strengths.
In my current role as the Marketing and AI Innovation lead at Animalz, one of the world's premier content marketing agencies, I've been on the frontlines of the ongoing battle “Creatives vs. Robots” since 2022.
Battles aside, with the arrival of powerful AI models like GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus, true artificial intelligence is no longer a distant dream. AI tools and techniques can unleash your inner productive superhero and make us better humans.
Our Mission
With We Eat Robots, I'm committed to exploring AI's possibilities while acknowledging its limitations and potential drawbacks.
I know firsthand how exciting and intimidating the rapid advancement of AI can be. When I first saw AI writing content, I felt excited and terrified about what it meant for my work as a writer.
That's why I started We Eat Robots – to guide you through this uncharted territory. I believe that AI can make us all better thinkers, creators, and communicators — but only if we approach it with curiosity, care, and a spirit of experimentation.
My motto is simple: if you don't learn to eat robots for breakfast, you might end up as their lunch!
