The weekly brief on accessible and practical AI usage.
Less jargon. More tools that actually work.
"The AI industry has a PhD problem. Every explanation assumes you already know the jargon. We're here to fix that — one experiment at a time."

The Experiment Engine
Every week, the community submits and votes on AI experiments. The top picks get filmed and broken down in the newsletter. No theory. No slides. Just real tests with real results.
Got an idea for an AI test? Submit it. What happens if you ask ChatGPT to count its own Rs? Let's find out.
The community picks the most interesting experiments. Your vote decides what gets tested next.
Phi films the top picks live. Watch AI systems succeed, fail, and surprise you. Documented and explained.
Weekly Briefing
How I actually use AI to save time — real prompts, real outputs, no cherry-picking. The tools and techniques that actually stick around after the hype dies.
Every experiment from the week documented: what worked, what failed, and why. Honest breakdowns of what AI can and cannot do.
Test new apps before they go public. Hands-on impressions from someone who actually breaks things before recommending them.
The Principles
Most AI content is written by people who sell AI tools. This newsletter is written by someone who tests them. Every claim is verifiable. Every experiment is documented. Every recommendation comes from doing the work.
Every week. No fluff. No hype. Just the experiments that actually matter.
