We just crossed 700 members in AI Bits & Pieces, and I want to take a moment to say thank you. When this community started, the idea was simple: AI is becoming a life skill. For the AI Curious. For the AI Beginner. For the AI Enthusiast. For the AI Practitioner. For the business owner. For the person simply trying to keep up. For everyone. AI is becoming part of how we think, write, plan, research, learn, create, and make decisions. And for many people, the hardest part is not understanding every technical detail. The hardest part is knowing where to start. That is what AI Bits & Pieces is here for. A place to learn without feeling behind. A place to ask basic questions without judgment. A place to see real examples, practical workflows, and honest tool testing. A place where curiosity matters more than credentials. As the community grows, the goal remains the same: help people build practical AI fluency one step at a time. You don't need to learn everything by tomorrow. Just steady progress. Some members are brand new to AI. Some are using it every day. Some are building workflows, automations, content systems, or businesses. And some are simply trying to understand how this technology fits into their work and life. All of that belongs here. I also want to recognize and acknowledge everyone on the leaderboard! You are the people who continue to show up, comment, ask questions, share examples, and make this feel like a real learning community. That participation matters more than most people realize. Content helps. Tools help. But people make the community useful. So thank you for being here, whether you joined at member 7, member 70, or member 700. We are still early. And we are building AI fluency together, one bit and piece at a time.

I have recently started publishing AI Terms for Claude Code (and I will do others soon). I plan to continue with my normal post rotation of Live Sessions, AI Quirks, AI in Real Life, etc. However, I want to make sure that I am not posting to much. What is your preferred frequency and format for AI Terms? As a side note, I do publish the daily dose on LinkedIn each day.

If you’ve been hearing about NotebookLM but haven’t really used it yet, or are interested in seeing how I use it - this session is a good place to start. We’ll walk through the fundamentals—no assumptions, no prior setup needed. 🔍 What we’ll cover: • What NotebookLM actually is (and what it’s not) • How to add and structure source material • Turning messy information into usable notes • Creating summaries, FAQs, and simple workflows • Where this becomes useful in real day-to-day work This session isn’t about advanced builds - it’s about getting comfortable with how the tool works so you can start using it with your own content. 🔍 Who this is for: • AI Curious — you’re learning what’s possible • AI Enthusiasts — you’re using tools but want better structure • Anyone sitting on content they haven’t fully used We’ll keep it practical and move at a pace where you can follow along. 📅 Live Session April 15, 2026 1pm EST
