Deep Questions with Cal Newport sponsors and ad reads

All right. Here's something I've learned running my media company. One of our most valuable assets is our knowledge about the best way to execute all the different things we do internally here. If we lose a key person, we lose their knowledge, and this is a big deal. If we hire someone new, we have to teach them everything from scratch, which can be a big pain as well. This is where today's sponsor, Scribe, enters the scene. Scribe is a workflow AI platform trusted by 94% of the Fortune 500 that captures any workflow in real time and turns it into documentation automatically. No manual writing, no manually taking screenshots, no starting from scratch with each new hire. You just turn on the Scribe browser extension or desktop app, execute your normal processes, and it builds the guide for you as you go, capturing your steps automatically. New employees will then enjoy real-time on-screen guidance that shows them exactly where to click inside the actual tool. Are you worried about personal information like names or account numbers? Don't worry. Scribe will auto-redact them from every shot. And this goes beyond documentation. Scribe can show you which steps are redundant and where your workflow could be simpler or more automated. Jesse, we have a lot of processes here. This might be exactly what we need to try to document all it is that we do. So if you want to see what Scribe could look like for your organization, head to scribe.how slash deep and mention deep questions to get your first month of Scribe capture free on select plans. That's S-C-R-I-B-E dot how slash deep.
