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.)

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.

📊 “Experts have many advantages. They are better able to see through LLM errors and hallucinations; they are better judges of AI output in their area of interest; they are better able to instruct the AI to do the required job; and they have the opportunity for more trial and error. That lets them unlock the latent expertise within LLMs in ways that others could not.” – Ethan Mollick Hello Reader, The next time you don't like the results from your AI, use this Expert Feedback prompt: Review...
🧭 “The purpose of meetings is not to talk – the purpose of meetings is to arrive at ideas, solutions, plans, and decisions.” - Alexander Kjerulf Hello Reader, I have tried all the AI meeting notetakers over the past few years. 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...
