  • Giving AI the right context, not more context

    Most professionals assume that longer, more detailed prompts produce better AI outputs. The real skill is something narrower: identifying which specific context actually changes the answer, and leaving everything else out.

    • The context window: the model's working memory
    • Anatomy of a good prompt: role, context, task, constraints
    • Common prompting mistakes and how to fix them
    • Iteration and refinement: treating the model like a collaborator
    • Working with long documents and big inputs

  • RAG explained without the jargon: a practical playbook

    Most LLMs confidently answer questions using knowledge that stopped updating months or years ago. RAG fixes that, and this playbook shows you exactly how to build it without getting lost in the technical weeds.

    • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): giving models your data
    • Choosing the right approach: prompt, RAG, fine-tune, or agent
    • Evaluating outputs: how do you know it works?
    • The AI tools landscape: APIs, no-code, and vector databases
    • Hallucinations: why confident answers can be wrong

  • Vibe coding for non-engineers: the hype is real, but the risk is being misread

    Coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude have made it genuinely possible for non-engineers to build working software. But the dominant narrative around "vibe coding" is flattening a more complicated reality that professionals need to understand before betting on it.

  • How JPMorgan Chase built human oversight into its AI agent workflows

    JPMorgan Chase deployed AI agents across legal review and trading operations, then discovered that automation without structured human checkpoints created compliance exposure it hadn't anticipated. The decisions they made to redesign those workflows offer a concrete template for any organization running agents at scale.

  • The spreadsheet rebellion that taught us how to roll out new tools to teams

    The challenge of getting an entire team to actually use a new technology is older than AI by several decades. The story of how organizations learned to do it well starts in a place almost no one remembers: a corporate fight over spreadsheets.
