About
Start Here
AI Newbie is a free learning platform for anyone trying to find reliable practices to make use of AI Tools at work. There are a few tracks in progress and we are starting the first track for non-coders. Engineer’s track in progress!
Who this is for
You use AI in the cracks of the workday: a messy email, a Friday request, notes you never turned into actions. You don’t need a mascot to get started (Nubi can wait). You need a method you can repeat.
How we teach
Problem → intuition → jargon. We start with the situation you already recognize, then the mental model, then the words the industry uses. Each published article is one habit: why it matters, a prompt you can copy, a before and after, three checks, and one step you can do today.
Where to begin
- Read Ask before you write. Run it on one real request this week.
- Continue the series on the One Useful Task hub.
- Subscribe to the AI Newbie Brief when you want the next practice, not a news firehose.
Want to try a little code? Newbie to Tech is a second track: one small project, from your first tool to a page on the web.
Publishing
This website is canonical. After that: Medium, then Substack. If versions drift, trust the recipe here.
Responsible use
Fluency is not expertise. Don’t paste what you wouldn’t put on a postcard unless your workplace tool is approved for it. Article 3 in the series is the redaction habit.
