Ty Wil! Are you using it for your team?

Found them super complicated. Nothing I did worked! I see the potential though.

I really like Gemini for business. The "Agents" are essentially Gems - but you can use them across your organization and they can draw on your Google Drive, Calendar, Gmails and a few other connectors.

A first look at Gemini Enterprise / Gemini for Business - Marie Haynes

Hype or Not? Should you be investing in AI Agents? - Marie Haynes

Google says every enterprise will soon rely on multi-agent systems - multiple AI agents working together. That sounds exciting and futuristic, but what I’ve found when talking to my clients is that w...

Oh, and also, ChatGPT Agent logged in to Canva for me and made this week's thumbnail!

Search Live is going to change how we get information.

Notice in this video how websites are surfaced? Very cool, but also people are going to have their search satisfied without needing to click.

What questions do you have about the role of AI agents for your business?

I'm putting together some resources to help us plan and prepare.

Google says that every enterprise will rely on multiple agents. Yet the advice is all so vague!

Is it possible this comes from something in your custom instructions? I had a response that said something like this at the end of one of my chats and it clearly was repeating something in my custom instructions.

Can you replicate in GPT-5?

Super chill. A little makeup, and some direction on what not to wear.

However they did try to lead what we said. Wanted me to badmouth my husband (I did not) and roll my eyes and call my MIL a drama queen. (I did & they used it 4 times.)

It was our choice though. I mean the show is called "My house your money."

Honestly, it was one of the most fun experiences of our lives filming that. I would do it again!

Marie Haynes @mariehaynes.bsky.social · Sep 9

They reached out to my husband because he was a realtor to ask if he had any clients that would be suitable to film. We happened to be buying a house.

Although as is the case with most reality TV, they stretched the truth as, although my in-laws moved in with me, we didn't use their money.

Filming this was so much fun!

It's not online unfortunately. Took 3 days to film. And yes, a lot is made up and overblown.

There's so much to learn about how Google's ranking systems work from the latest DOJ vs Google trial documentation.

⚫ The webpage itself is more important than links.
⚫ Chrome data is indeed used for ranking.
⚫ Crawl frequency is determined by user popularity.

I learned so much from Alan. Will never forget his gigantic smile the first time I ran into him at the Breeze bar in Vegas for Pubcon.

Alan gave so much to this industry. He will be missed immensely. 😢

Not sure how the tools are doing it but what I'm trying right now is this:

-Get the top 1000 keywords from GSC
-Use the Gemini API to turn that into 100 questions people might ask

Some of my clients are working on adding images specifically for being more helpful for lens searches. Would be helpful to have numbers on visits from lens to measure if the efforts are helping.
