“When Aristotelis first showed me AI, I dismissed it as ‘fun but probably not useful’. Now I use it daily. Even for writing this review I used the RICE method–it always works.”

Why is it free?
AI will change everything about how we live and work.
Most AI content today is too technical, superficial, or scattered over the internet. I believe that the world is better if everyone understands how AI works, and knows how to make it useful for them. That's why this handbook is completely free and open.

Hello,
