《CEO Diet》展示了一群由跨产业高管组成的 CEO 圈，主题围绕「如何把人工智慧用进日常经营」。文中有十二位主管分享实务做法，核心趋势是：AI 先用于「先行思考」与会前准备，从而在高节奏会议里压缩决策周期并提高回应品质。文章也隐含一个结构：AI 不被当作最终判断者，而是作为反馈生成器、情境整合器和速度放大器。

Tobias Pross（Allianz Global Investors）提到公司管理约 591 十亿欧元（约 696 十亿美元）资产，透过 AI 在分钟内对商业想法做可行性挑战；Nikola Mrkšić（PolyAI）则用 AI 先整合对手最近的财报、媒体声量与产业声明以维持会议在场感。Mariam Naficy（Minted/Arcade）以 Claude 与 Granola 产生会前一页式摘要与 Slack 优先次序，并要求「谁在等待我」来消减拖延；Tunde Olanrewaju（McKinsey）强调 meta-prompt 的语境清晰化可提升回应质量。

时间效率提升是共同主题：Matt Blumberg（Markup AI）以三本书、20 年部落格、200 多份 podcast 逐字稿打造 MattBot，将原本两小时的回复草拟压缩为 30 秒生成＋5 分钟修订；Steve Salis、Denise Muyco、Tom Gozney 等人也将 AI 用于资料查询、敏感对话演练与部门协同。Acme Smoked Fish 的 Rob Snyder 可直接查询资料取代报表浏览，并称已经「几个月不做简报」。Erica Desai 用 AI 紧缩法务与旅程规划流程，Justin Mares（Truemed）则将 AI 转化为每日先行讯号系统；Maxwell Club 的 Brandon Kaplan 更建了含 knowledge-base、行销、行政及 virtual chief-of-staff 的 AI 团队，协助创业早期零到一。

The CEO Diet profiles a cross-industry executive cohort discussing how to use AI in daily leadership. Around a dozen leaders were featured, and the shared pattern is that AI is first used for pre-thinking and meeting preparation. This shortens decision cycles in high-volume schedules and improves the quality of responses. The implied model is that AI is not the final judge; it acts as a generator of feedback, a context integrator, and a speed multiplier.

Tobias Pross at Allianz Global Investors, which manages around €591 billion (about $696 billion), says AI gives him a fast challenge-and-refinement loop within minutes for new business ideas. Nikola Mrkšić at PolyAI uses AI to synthesize recent earnings calls, media coverage, and industry statements before meetings, helping him stay present in back-to-back interactions. Mariam Naficy of Minted and Arcade uses Claude plus Granola to produce one-page pre-read briefs and Slack-priority lists and asks “who is waiting on me” to reduce delays. Tunde Olanrewaju of McKinsey argues that meta-prompting with clearer context is the key to better AI outcomes.

Efficiency gains are the strongest shared trend. Matt Blumberg of Markup AI built MattBot from three books, 20 years of blog posts, and 200-plus podcast transcripts, compressing responses that once took two hours into 30 seconds of draft generation plus five minutes of editing. Other executives use AI for data retrieval, role-play of hard conversations, and cross-team alignment. At Acme Smoked Fish, CEO Rob Snyder says AI lets him query data directly instead of digging through reports, and he has gone months without making a deck. Erica Desai applies AI to legal summarization and trip planning, while Justin Mares of Truemed uses it as a daily signal engine. At Maxwell Club, Brandon Kaplan has even assembled an AI team with roles like knowledge-base, marketing, admin, and a virtual chief of staff to speed very early-stage execution.
