What we’re about…
Has anyone else spent five minutes on social media and come away thinking everyone’s already an AI expert? Agents. Automations. Frameworks. People throwing around terminology like they’re one pitch deck away from Series A funding. It looks impressive and sounds clever. But I don’t think it’s helping anyone learn anything. If anything it’s probably making people feel inadequate or left behind. And that leaves a huge chunk of people in a weird spot (me included!). So I’ve decided to do something about it and have built a space for people who want to ask questions without feeling like they’ve walked into the wrong room. It’s not for people who want to build startups or become engineers but rather for ordinary people who just want to understand what they’re actually using. People who want to figure out how AI actually fits into their day-to-day work, not some hypothetical future version of it. That gap’s been bugging me for a while, so I’ve done something about it. 👉 Learn to talk to machines It’s a space built for everyday people. No jargon, no showing off, no performance. Just honest questions, practical stuff, and learning how to have a conversation with AI that actually gets you somewhere. If you’ve ever looked at AI content and thought “yeah, but what do I actually do with this?” that’s exactly who this is for.

Heard of Claude Skills?
Lot of noise about Claude Skills right now. Most people posting about them couldn’t tell you what they actually are. We’ve seen this before. Early days of ‘prompting’, everyone suddenly had a course, a carousel, a top 10 list, most of it copy-pasted from someone else who also didn’t really know. Confident packaging, hollow centre. This page exists because that pattern is worth calling out. So here’s the unflashy version. A Skill is an instruction manual Claude reads before starting a specific type of task. Instead of you re-explaining your preferences every session, the skill carries them forward. That’s the whole thing. Built-in ones already exist for Word docs, spreadsheets, PDFs, PowerPoint. Useful, but not the interesting part. The interesting part is building your own, for the tasks you repeat, in your way. Ask yourself: what do you keep explaining to Claude every time? Your tone. Your format. Your structure. Your rules. That repetition is the signal. Build a skill, stop repeating yourself. Ask Claude it’ll direct you. It’s not complicated. It’s not a trend worth performing. It’s just a practical feature that rewards people who actually know how they work, and doesn’t do much for people who are still winging every prompt. 👇 Drop a task you keep repeating and let’s work out if it’s skill-worthy.

Let’s kill this term…
Let's kill this term: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. It makes this sound like a technical skill. Like you need to be a specialist or learn some arcane discipline. You don't. It is just communication. Clear, structured communication.

He Avoided AI for Years. Then This Happened in One Hour.
Here’s what happens when people start using AI properly. Yesterday I helped a good friend use AI for the first time. He runs a successful IT recruitment consultancy, is sharp as they come… and is also gloriously tech-phobic, which makes this story even better 🤣 He’s doing voluntary work with a local prison, helping offenders nearing release learn how to write CVs. Because they can’t access computers directly, he needed to create a paper-based form to use as a teaching tool. Ordinarily, that would have meant an afternoon lost wrestling with layout, wording, structure, and endless rewrites. Instead, we spent about 30 minutes together going through a few basics: how to frame a clear prompt, how to give context, and how to refine outputs instead of accepting the first draft blindly. Then I left him to it. An hour later he sent me the finished document, polished, practical, and ready to use. That’s the bit people miss when they talk about AI. It’s not magic. It’s not replacing expertise. It’s giving capable people a faster route from idea to outcome. Same person. Same brain. Just less time spent fighting the blank page.
