Every public affairs professional I know starts the morning the same way. Scanning newsletters, alerts, and Substacks. On good days you catch what matters. On busy days you don't. And you never quite know which day you had.
That’s why we built Readout: DelveReadout.com
The real value of public affairs work isn't consuming more information. It's seeing the pattern sooner, understanding the implications faster, and walking into the day with a sharper sense of what deserves attention.
That’s the problem we built Delve and now Readout to solve.
1/ In public affairs, you're not just reading the news. You're looking for "thin wisps of tomorrow." The small signals a trend is forming. The quiet indicators a policy fight is moving. The overlooked detail that could matter a lot three weeks from now.
Public affairs leaders disappointed in results from AI often make a mistake that would seem crazy with a new hire. Vague assignments. Little to no context provided. No info on what matters or where the sensitivities are. Then they are surprised when they get a generic output.
Generic inputs, generic outputs. The real divide in AI adoption is not who has access to the best tools. It's who takes the time to make the tools smarter about their interests, perspective, and needs.
1/ Public affairs leaders frustrated with the results they get from AI are often making a mistake they’d never make with a new hire. 🧵
7/ That's the real divide in AI adoption: Who takes the time to make sure the tools know them. Generic inputs mean generic outputs. The teams that get real ROI will treat AI less like a product to configure and more like a capability to develop.
