Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Engineer for twenty years, now AI consultant. On The AI Architect I read the papers, leaks and guidance behind the AI headlines, and work out what actually changes for people who use this stuff at work.
How AI is changing work, workflows, and organizations in the real world.
I show industry and academic experts what's actually inside AI models, and how to tune them to write in your own voice. I've been building them for 35+ years. Subscribe and get Beat Writer’s Block, my free writing tool, as a thank-you.
