FREE WHEN YOU JOIN

Your team is using AI already. Do they know the rules?

Microsoft found 71% of UK employees have used AI tools their employer hadn't approved. Our AI Use Policy template sorts that in ten minutes: fill in the brackets, send it round, box ticked.

  • One page, plain English. A ready-made policy. No lawyer-speak.

  • What never goes in. Clear rules on customer data, bank details and passwords.

  • Check before it goes out. Stops AI's confident mistakes reaching a customer.

  • UK GDPR basics covered. Without paying a consultant. (Not legal advice, naturally.)

WHAT LANDS EVERY MONDAY

Three minutes. Three bits. Zero waffle.

01

The Big One

The week's biggest AI story, what it means for a 20-person firm, and a straight verdict.

REAL RUBBISH WAIT AND SEE

02

Hype Watch or Worth It?

On alternate weeks: one overhyped claim taken apart, or one tool judged on cost, faff and whether we'd pay for it.

03

Monday Fix

One useful job that takes under 30 minutes, with a copy-and-paste prompt. Done before your second coffee.

WHO'S BEHIND IT

People who've actually run things.

A small team with startups built from nothing, big teams and big budgets behind us, and plenty of tech that promised the world and didn't deliver. None of us are techies.

We use AI every day and it does a lot of our legwork. But every opinion, verdict and recommendation comes from a human who's tried it. If it's rubbish, we'll say so.

NO PRODUCT TO SELL YOU. NO CONSULTANCY TO UPSELL.
