I asked Fable and Codex what my business should automate. They disagreed.
Fable won this test, and I am still divided about what that means.
TL;DR
- The author experimented with two AI models, Codex and Fable, giving them the same broad assignment to identify and automate a business problem.
- Codex was easier to use and created a tool for content handoff, but Fable tackled a more strategic problem concerning story selection and idea duplication.
- Despite Codex's superior user experience, Fable's discovery of a more impactful problem led the author to question AI's potential in defining strategic priorities.
- The experiment involved leaving out the author's usual decision on which story is worth telling, allowing the AI to explore that space.
- The author developed a reusable skill that allows users to choose the automation task after the AI presents multiple options.
