About a month ago, I launched The Intelligent Playbook — a free newsletter built from my book PromptCraft: How to Make AI Write Like You.

Instead of asking busy people to read a 141-page guide, I broke it down into short, practical posts you can actually use. This newsletter is where I share simple, clear ways to understand and apply AI without getting lost in tech jargon.

If you are curious about AI but don’t want to get bogged down in technical jargon, this is for you.

It’ll be fun, I promise.

As part of my Facebook network, I’d love for you to join me as a subscriber. The newsletter is free, and you will receive an email only once a week (Friday at 10 a.m. Adelaide time) with updates on my latest articles. You can also unsubscribe anytime.

📩 Subscribe Here: https://theintelligentplaybook.com/about

Check it out, and tell me in the comments what topics you’d love me to cover next!

How to write with Ai so that it sounds like you.

(and How to Fix It)

AI isn't a vending machine. Don’t expect to type in a prompt and out comes a unique and original idea. AI isn't magic, but it's a powerful tool that, if you guide it well, will more than deliver what you wish.

To unlock AI's true potential and boost your productivity, you need to understand how it works and how to guide it effectively.

"PromptCraft" teaches you exactly how to do that.

Download my free cheat sheet to get started and learn about the C.A.S.T. framework. It's a straightforward guide to crafting more effective prompts. https://sittingpony.gumroad.com/l/zrwqu

Manus is now available, finally. I have been waiting for a while for this. Manus is a next-generation AI agent. Unlike basic chatbots, Manus does stuff, like building websites, creating slides, analysing data, writing reports, generating images and videos, and handling complex multi-step projects from start to end. Pretty cool.

I have a link here that, if you register your account, will give us both 500 credits each (1900 credits costs about $19 if you top up).

AI is already changing how we work, create, and live. But what does that mean for us? Is AI a threat, a tool, or something in between?

In this piece, I discuss what AI is. A powerful pattern prediction machine, and how learning to work with it will shape your future for the better.

And if you want to take it further, I’m sharing strategies and insights in my book PromptCraft that will help you master AI as your creative partner.

I used to wonder why did the Chinese spent so much resource to build and rebuild the great wall. What can a 7-m wall along thousand-meter mountain ranges really do? Apparently, quite a lot.
