I got kicked out of an empty conference room yesterday.
Bozeman’s library is beautiful, newly renovated, with a few sneaky spots you can snag when they aren't booked.
Camping out at the library for the free views
The woman who kicked me out…
She was hosting a meeting for a Writer's Guild, so I was curious to get their perspective.
As I mentioned the "AI" topic, their eyes started to roll…
(When the Authors Guild and major authors are suing over copyright, writers have every right to be skeptical.)
I pumped the brakes: "My view on AI… is the glass is half-full. There are some really great tools now, so I’m teaching folks to use them to better their life, work, or studies."
We steered around the copyright topic—toward how AI might help them:
publish
reach readers more easily
track their finances.
Another writer was trying to add an 'Ask Me Anything' to her website—something that could answer questions & help readers connect with her writing.
She needed a chatbot (ingredient #1) that could understand natural language (ingredient #2) and pull from her books and bio (ingredient #5: context).
Her problem? The AI agent went rogue—hello guardrails (ingredient #8)...
That library conversation stuck with me:
If people only have a few ingredients, I gotta be a better chef.
They need a recipe.
So this week I did two things:
1-Got certified in teaching AI Fluency
I completed Anthropic’s Teaching AI Fluency certification
The best part? They helped me personalize my workshop for business leaders—now improved with the wisdom and methodology of leading AI educators (yes, real professors!).
Now I've got better frameworks and language to teach safely and practically, instead of just throwing people into the deep end.
2-Built the kitchen—a website for business leaders to get these tools deployed
My business website is live! Let me know what you think.
I built the website and sales funnel from scratch. Claude Code did the heavy lifting:
Code Repo - Git
Deployment - Vercel
Database & Basic CRM - Supabase
Email Triggers - Resend
Marketing Automations - Beehiiv
Most of those are free tools! I'm using subscriptions I already own for Claude and Beehiiv, and my funnel is powered by the exact type of agent that writer was struggling to build.
If you want to try an ‘AI Day’ workshop, you can check it out here winkintelligence.com
Let me know what you think!
Next time someone asks about adding an AI agent to their business, I'll have the step-by-step recipe.
And maybe a spare seat at the library 😉
If you know someone who would enjoy this content,
Here’s what’s coming next :
Soon: Website Launch!
Thursdays: We’ll cover LLM, AI, & Agentic concepts.
(Don’t worry. I put the cookies on the lower shelf, where anyone can reach ‘em.) I teach advanced concepts in simple, bite-sized chunks that anyone can understand.
