We just crossed 400 members, and I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who’s joined AI Bits & Pieces and helped shape what this space is becoming.🎉 This community was built on a simple idea: ✨AI is now a life skill. The goal here isn’t to chase tools or trends. It’s to build real understanding and practical fluency. So AI can be applied thoughtfully in everyday life, work, and business. As the community continues to grow, you’ll see more relevant content as we learn more about member preferences. That said, content is only one part of what makes this community work. 🤝 Just as important are the contributors who consistently show up and share real work — including open build journeys like @Holger Peschke 30-day RAG build, and @Matthew Sutherland, who consistently adds deeper insight and context to our content. @Muskan Ahlawat and @Judith Vanegas also deserve recognition for their consistent encouragement and thoughtful engagement. 🏆 Community Leaderboard To recognize members who have made meaningful contributions through participation, learning, and engagement — thank you for showing up. 1. @Frank van Bokhorst 2. @Holger Peschke 3. @Muskan Ahlawat 4. @Matthew Sutherland 5. @Dena Dion 6. @Judith Vanegas 7. @Jason Hagen 8. @Dorota Mleczko 9. @Usman Mohammed 10. @Roger Richards And new contributors: @Glenn Marcus and @Reynoso Anubis for their in-depth posts and videos that inspire and encourage us pursue new AI goals and applications.

A 5-Part Series on Prompting, Iteration, and Finding Your Own AI Rhythm We talk a lot about AI tools— Models. Apps. Updates. But beneath all of it, there’s one thing that quietly connects almost everything in modern AI: 💎 Prompting. Not as a trick. Not as a hack. But as the foundation—the way we communicate intent, context, and direction to AI. 💎 Prompting — often taken for granted, yet once refined, it unlocks real AI power. Over the next few posts, I’m kicking off a 5-part series called: 💎 Prompting: The Foundation for Unlocking Real AI Power We’ll explore: - Why prompting shows up everywhere, no matter the tool - Why iteration (not perfection) is the real superpower - Why some AI tools feel intuitive while others don’t - How prompting naturally enables us to expand from simple use to workflows and systems - And why there is no single “right” path when learning AI This series will reveal how such a simple act can unlock so much real capability.

We gave AI Bits & Pieces logo a little visual refresh. It stands out a bit more. And honestly… we think it’s fun. Total marketing effort? We asked our daughter which one she liked better. She picked this one. Bingo — new logo. You’ll start seeing it everywhere.
