But I am the decision maker on everything, which means that I don\u2019t have that much space in my brain,\u201d says Fine, who divides her time between London and Madrid. \u201cI started to feel overwhelmed, and that I needed two of myself. Or even 10.<\/p>\n<p>New FeatureIn ShortQuick Stories. Same trusted journalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur work is data driven, insight led and the brands we work with have a very specific tone of voice. They have a lot of rules and regulations to work within. As a single person, you can\u2019t remember all of that stuff.\u201d But Mini Freya can.<\/p>\n<p>Within \u2018Mini Freya\u2019, Fine has 12 specially-trained <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/topic\/chatbot?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chatbots <\/a>which she created within ChatGPT that are dedicated to specific clients and their needs. Fine spent about four hours developing the appropriate prompts and feeding in the relevant documents to set up Mini Freya.<\/p>\n<p>Now it can help the real Freya with tasks such as <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/inews-lifestyle\/nine-email-fails-copying-boss-2967972?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">writing emails to clients<\/a> and staff, and new business proposals. It also supports her in drafting client marketing strategies and negotiating with social media influencers. For example, after a meeting, Mini Freya will dissect a transcript to assign follow up actions to the right team member with the appropriate deadline. She also posts to LinkedIn and organises Freya\u2019s day, like a<a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/inews-lifestyle\/pa-parenting-coach-home-manager-free-how-3720412?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> personal assistant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On average, Freya says having this saves her around 40 hours a week in tasks she doesn\u2019t have to do \u2013 at the cost of \u00a320 a month, the rate of ChatGPT\u2019s \u201cPlus\u201d plan. \u201cIt\u2019s [no cost] compared to the impact it has on the team,\u201d says Fine. \u201cIt\u2019s like having a super-organised partner on call 24\/7. Or like a junior team member you can train to take over an entire role.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>And \u2013 like a member of staff \u2013 the more resources Freya gives her mini-me, the more capable it becomes. \u201cYou feed it information \u2013 videos, PDFs, textbooks, notes \u2013 and continually refine with feedback and new inputs. Over time it learns your tone, style, and ways of working. The longer you have it, the better it gets. Naturally just by working with it, I\u2019m improving it everyday.\u201d Fine has since encouraged her whole team to create their own AI mini me to help with similar tasks. <\/p>\n<p>Fine however makes it clear that the creative and strategic thinking her agency provides clients still comes from the team\u2019s own actual brains. \u201cWe use ChatGPT for all of the grunt work. We by no means use it for any of the \u2018love\u2019. For example, the strategy for all our ads comes from hours of research and the experience we\u2019ve accumulated, so there\u2019s no way that ChatGPT could do that for you,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>But using AI it\u2019s not something she hides from clients. \u201cBecause we are in a tech space, it\u2019s almost expected that you\u2019re in some way leveraging AI,\u201d says Fine. \u201cWe\u2019re using it to give a much better product\u201d. And rather than worrying about <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/inews-lifestyle\/worried-ai-job-obsolete-retrain-3786094?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI making her obsolete<\/a>, Fine thinks her advanced knowledge of how to use it gives her a competitive edge in the job market.<\/p>\n<p>Gen Z\u2019s AI edge<\/p>\n<p>Fine and her team are a perfect example of how <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/topic\/generation-z?srsltid=AfmBOooCFQvDV4Zk81qeuOMwsva-JiO78rCJY6DLXyaOffAE93_E_J&amp;ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gen Z<\/a> \u2013 despite often being criticised for having a looser work ethic than their <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/topic\/millennials?srsltid=AfmBOoqRtlQDtNrHiqXmA_qbZFLB0RPTqqGUm1S9qG03BbOMXG9T8TyE&amp;ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Millennial<\/a>, Gen X and Boomer counterparts \u2013 are demonstrating how their command of AI is giving them an edge at work.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, 55 per cent of Gen Z use AI to problem solve at work, compared with 54 per cent of millennials, 42 per cent of Gen X, and 33 per cent of baby boomers, according to recruiter Randstad\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randstad.com\/genz\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> of 11,250 workers across 15 markets. Around 75 per cent of Gen Z use AI to learn new skills, ahead of Millennials (71 per cent) Gen X (56 per cent) and Baby Boomers (49 per cent). Yet 46 per cent of Gen Z also say they worry about the impact of the technology on their jobs \u2013 up from 40 per cent last year.<\/p>\n<p>Gen Z\u2019s competitive edge with AI, though, is at odds with the number of <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/inews-lifestyle\/graduate-jobs-replaced-ai-careers-future-proofed-3504194?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">entry level jobs being cut because of the technology<\/a>. As research by job search platform Adzuna has highlighted, the number of graduate roles, apprenticeships, internships, and junior positions have dropped by over 30 per cent since ChatGPT launched at the end of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s concerning Letizia Mollinedo, 26, a senior account digital executive at communications agency Fight or Flight. London-based Mollinedo has been creating custom projects in AI platform Claude over the past six months to help her with account management tasks like editing and finalising written reports. She also uses AI to help her get to grips with new topics.<\/p>\n<p>People in the agency are encouraged to use AI, and everyone uses it differently without being expected to disclose it to managers or clients, provided they aren\u2019t inputting confidential client information into the platforms.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"399\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SEI_272501654-e1761947506480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4014110\"  \/>Letizia Mollinedo uses AI at work, but is concerned about widespread use<\/p>\n<p>But companies cutting roles, especially junior ones, because of AI, is short sighted, says Mollinedo. \u201cCompanies doing this are shooting themselves in the foot, because AI is meant to unlock potential. They\u2019re cutting off new talent and replacing them with machines that all think the same way,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn intern would be bringing in skills that <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/topic\/artificial-intelligence?srsltid=AfmBOorRa4lCpuwfCar5-ljBAl077xBIvF2urXTramgNXIGei3Uyq3MQ&amp;ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI<\/a> doesn\u2019t have, because it doesn\u2019t have the ability to think beyond being a robot, and it will spit out the exact same answer for everybody, whereas an intern with a specific degree or background will give you something that maybe you hadn\u2019t thought about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mollinedo acknowledges that while her custom AI tools save her around five hours of work a week, she\u2019s clear on where to draw the line. \u201cIt\u2019s the difference between something that would usually take me an hour, and being able to do it in 20 minutes. It makes the workflow faster, which feels good, and makes me feel more efficient,\u201d says Ms Mollinedo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never use it for content creation because that\u2019s where you have to do the strategic thinking. If you don\u2019t do that, then you\u2019re kind of screwed. It\u2019ll completely destroy your ability to work. It\u2019s important to remember that AI cannot think for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let AI dumb you down<\/p>\n<p>Annemie Ress is a former senior HR leader who now runs people development consultancy PurpleBeach. Ress agrees that Gen Z has an AI advantage that employers should be embracing, and those cutting entry level roles are indeed short sighted. She warns, however, that anyone using AI at work \u2013 not just Gen Z \u2013 needs to be careful not to lose sight of key skills. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are going to be lazy, and it is going to dumb you down, someone will notice down the line, and you will not get the opportunities at work. You will lose those connections, and relationships will suffer,\u201d says Ress, who is based in Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>She also recommends that Gen Z get clear on how they frame their AI use, and not to position it to current and future employers as a mere outsourcing of tasks. \u201cA lot of business leaders are either fearful of AI, or think they know everything that it can and can\u2019t do, which is almost more dangerous. So it\u2019s as much about educating as showcasing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Talk of cuts to early careers jobs because of AI hits hard for Fine, who applied for hundreds of roles after being made redundant in 2023, to no avail, before starting her agency. With her entire agency being staffed by Gen Z team members, she\u2019s particularly passionate about putting their AI skills to good use. \u201cWe\u2019re noticing that every year when we get new interns joining us, they\u2019re more AI attuned, and that\u2019s making our lives easier.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gen Z are making chatbots to do admin and other tasks for them at work &#8211; does it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,242,4998,86,56,54,55,1908],"class_list":["post-242958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-features","tag-gen-z","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
