Weekly newsletter highlighting the latest AI news, with short video tutorials and copy/paste prompts you can use to improve your skills as an AI operator. As artificial intelligence moves from optional to operational, technical specialists no longer have the advantage. It is those who can supervise and coach AI to improve that will thrive in an AI-augmented future.
Create an AI Coach to Learn Anything on the AI Practitioners Summit
By the end of my fast-paced, 20-minute session, you will have a practical method for turning AI into a reflective learning partner. You’ll see how simple adjustments — such as asking for sustained inquiry instead of advice, or deliberately pivoting direction mid-creation — can sharpen your creative judgment and strengthen your decisiveness. The summit is free to watch live, but replays are $97. Register to attend for free, and you can watch my session live on Saturday, 24 October, 8am NZ time / Friday, 23 October 12 noon Pacific time. (Replays are available for free registrations through 25 October.)
As LLMs become more conversational, asking better questions shapes your AI thinking partner around the goals you care about, and trains it on the way you learn best. For me? Personally, I learn best when discussing philosophical concepts with Benjamin Franklin. In my presentation at the AI Practitioners Summit, I will demonstrate how to make an AI coach out of Ben Franklin's published works, so he can teach me anything I want to learn, in his old-timey language and vocabulary.

Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, Monologue, and more have all had a turn in my systems. Traditionally, I give them a month or two, and get dissatisfied at some feature or annoying user friction - until six months ago. I found Granola. (Disclaimer: by clicking my affiliate...
⏩ "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb Hello Reader, An AI Working Group ships projects. Tools are changing faster than humans can keep up. Most teams and organisations are throwing Copilot or Claude licenses to their crew, with a quick 'good luck!' and maybe an inscrutable warning about token counts. Making mistakes can be costly, when you rely on a paycheck. There isn't a structure for risk-taking or innovation with AI in corporate teams,...
🏎️ “AI agents don’t have a speed limit, but the person managing them still does.” - Kieran Klaasen Hello Reader, The fastest way to build a disappointing AI agent is to begin with a vague, grand ambition. “Handle my marketing for me.” “Run all our customer service.” “Become my chief of staff.” Those are only aspirations, not workflows. An agent cannot reliably operate within a fog bank. A useful agent starts with clear goals: Turn this meeting transcript into decisions, owners, deadlines, and...
