I used to forget the best ideas the moment a call ended.

As a Copywriter, I need to remember stuff. Who knew? I work on 20 things a day from brand voice to campaign ideas to making sure our emails don’t sound like they were written by a bot.

But honestly, like most creative creatures, I spend a lot of time in calls and I've got an awful memory (not a great combo). I’d leave a meeting full of ideas… and forget half of them by lunch.

Now, Fyxer is the one to:

1. Record my meetings
2. Note everything down
3. Draft a follow-up email afterwards (and draft all my other emails too tbf)

So I can actually concentrate on meetings without having to think about noting anything down.

It's ridiculously helpful for customer interviews and briefing calls. Especially because you can ask the transcript questions to find the bits you need.

If you’re a copywriter or creative juggling multiple projects and a to-do list longer than your forearm, I'd recommend using Fyxer. 

(And if you ever want to chat ideas, creativity, or why I think most AI copy still sounds like wet cardboard, drop me a message.)

The best tube ad I've seen.

I literally thought it was a typo.

I was rushing to catch my train home from Euston when I noticed the weird spelling.

In true copywriter fashion, I stared at it for longer than most...

Until I looked down and literally said out loud "holy shit".

That's the first time I've seen a brand takeover the actual tube signs.

Let alone in January when most of my mates are "taking a break" from drinking.

Props to the creative team who came up with that idea.

Anyone seen this done before?

Copywriters & creatives will get mentally flabby if we don't put some brakes on asap.

Hear me out.

ChatGeepety, Claude, and many other AI tools are great for getting stuff done, faster - especially life admin (my categorised weekly shop would blow the Romans' minds).

But if we outsource thinking to AI every day, here's what I believe is happening:

- Your expertise erodes
- Creative brain gets flabby
- Average becomes acceptable
- Acceptable becomes the norm

I noticed it in my own brain last year. Thinking without AI feels slower after I've over-used AI.

And that's terrifying.
Anyone else feeling that?

(If you're like "Nah mate, my brain's all cushty" you can stop reading because it's obviously a me problem).

Your brain's a muscle after all. Imagine using a forklift to lift every weight at the gym.

Sure, you’d record some mad results on MyFitnessPal, but you’d be weak as shit.

So I'm proposing 2 rules on AI to protect my precious gooey brain:

Rule 1.) Only use AI for closed questions > That includes facts, summaries, and checking stuff.

Example: 
When's the deadline for Self Assessment?

Rule 2.) Open questions are a no-no for AI. That includes fresh-out-the-box strategy, original ideas, and opinions.

Example:
What would make this campaign genuinely unforgettable?

Because if you let AI do the reps that make you great, don’t be surprised when you wake up average.

Let's protect our precious gooey brains from going flabby 🧠 

Hope it helps x

Copywriter confession: Orange rhymes with door hinge in the right Northern accent. Oh, and Fyxer's rebranded.

I remember having "what if" lunchtime chats with Lucy last April, throwing around half-formed thoughts about what Fyxer could become.

Today, that thinking finally has a home.

Huge credit to Red Antler for helping turn a lot of thinking, debating, obsessing, and Slack threads into the best Fyxer yet.

The email assistant that turns your inbox into your competitive advantage.

Also, finally meeting Rohan in the flesh confirmed what I suspected... some people are just unfairly good at this stuff.

Fyxer is here to help you get ahead of your emails. Not just through them.

(FYI we'll be banging that drum for years to come)

This is the best Fyxer yet.

Sharper drafts that sound like you. Smarter labels for your inbox. Team scheduling for meetings, removing the back-and-forth. Oh, and a new look inspired by the simple ways people bring order to chaos in their everyday lives.
