I’m Ted. A few years ago I was the person in every AI meeting who nodded along and understood maybe 40% of what was being said.

I started Consulting The Machine because I wanted to figure out what actually mattered for people like me, working professionals with real jobs, real deadlines, and no interest in becoming engineers. This newsletter is what I wish had existed when I started. One practical thing, every week, in plain English. That's the whole idea.
