About the newsletter
Written for real people, not tech people.
I've spent almost 30 years in IT. I've seen every wave of technology come and go, and AI is genuinely different. It's not just for programmers or big corporations anymore. It's for anyone who wants to save a bit of time, write a better email, or just stop feeling left behind.
Every week I send one practical, no-nonsense issue covering something you can actually use. Real examples. Real prompts you can copy. And a bit of Canadian context thrown in for good measure.
If you've ever thought "AI sounds interesting but I don't know where to start." This is where you start. It's free, it lands in your inbox once a week, and I read every reply personally.
