Why The AI Minute?
What We Believe
AI is a tool, not a religion.
Most AI news is noise. The launches, funding rounds, and "revolutionary" product drops that never survive contact with real work.
The AI Minute exists to filter that. We read the headlines so you can ignore them. We test the tools so you can skip the ones that waste your time. We tell you what matters this week, and more importantly, what doesn't.
What We Promise
- Every issue takes under 60 seconds to read.
- We will never hype a tool we haven't vetted.
- We will tell you when something is safe to ignore.
- We will not waste your time.
Who This Is For
Busy managers and ICs told to "figure out AI" but who don't have time to read 47 newsletters.
People who want AI to help them leave work on time, not become AI experts. People who are suspicious of hype but don't want to miss the 10% that actually matters.
If you're the "AI person" on your team, this is written for you.
