"The MasterClass founder and CEO sees AI not as a threat but as an accelerant, one that's already reshaped how he works on a daily basis. "If you aren't using AI and you're a CEO, what are you doing?" Rogier told Fortune. "You are holding yourself back. You're like, 'I only want to be 80% as productive as I can be.'""
"By his count, being a "heavy user" of the technology has made him so efficient he's reclaimed the equivalent of the entire workday, time he now funnels into the parts of the business that demand his leadership the most. MasterClass's CEO uses eight separate AI tools With so many different AI tools on the market, it's impossible to just use one and be a time maximizer. Instead, Rogier's "AI CEO Stack" consists of over half a dozen LLMs."
"Rogier's main AI helper is a custom version of ChatGPT named "Davidify" that synthesizes all of his notes. If he needs to draft an email or a speech, all he has to do is prompt it with a few bullet points, and it will write it in his style. His AI stack also includes: Gamma: "Builds my all-hands decks faster and way prettier" Make.com + Todoist + ChatGPT: "Auto-prioritizes my to-do list automatically every night. No more staring at 50 tasks and trying to prioritize.""
Workplace anxiety about AI spans roles from junior staff to CEOs worried about job security. David Rogier views AI as an accelerant that has reshaped his daily work. Heavy, coordinated use of multiple LLMs and automations reclaimed an entire workday for strategic leadership tasks. He operates an "AI CEO Stack" including a custom ChatGPT called "Davidify" for drafting and synthesizing notes, Gamma for decks, automation linking Make.com, Todoist and ChatGPT for nightly prioritization, NotebookLM for condensed multimedia summaries, Lovable for rapid product mockups, and On Call for simulated expert answers. The stack increases speed, improves feedback loops, and reduces low-value task burden.
