AI in Communications 2026, ChatGPT, Generative AI, LinkedIn Content, SEO vs GEO, Corporate Germany and Marketing Jobs. This is what AI actually looks like inside my career as a communicator in Munich.Over the last few years, AI has changed how we work, and its it's only gaining adoption. In this episode, I get real about how I use AI such as ChatGPT Plus, Perplexity, and OpusClip in my real workflow. I don't use AI to completely replace thinking, but to structure it, and it's definitely been helpful! I share how I use transcripts from this podcast as data, how titles and thumbnails are generated and tested, how I approach AI when writing cover letters in Germany, and why the shift from SEO (search engine optimization) to GEO (generative engine optimization) is relevant right now! I also get into the harder parts: over-reliance, everyone sounding the same, ethics in journalism and art, environmental impact, and pressure from corporate productivity. Do you use AI on a daily for your personal and/or work life?? Let me know!How do you find the balance between using it and maintaining your humanness?⏰ CHAPTERS00:00 AI in Communications in Germany03:30 LinkedIn and the AI Voice Problem08:30 How I Use ChatGPT and Perplexity19:00 AI for Podcast Strategy31:20 AI for Job Applications36:30 SEO to GEO39:30 Ethics, Environment and the FutureIf you work in marketing, communications, content creation or corporate strategy, I would love to know how AI is shaping your day-to-day work.About The Pod AbroadHowdy und Servus, y'all!
