The problem with AI
AI won't help you with this.
This issue is a little different.
My dream with GenevIA was never just to make it the leading source of information on AI in Switzerland. It's already the top newsletter of its kind.
My dream is to help each of you understand that, even with AI everywhere, you're still unique. To use it to get rid of the time-consuming tasks that bore you. And above all, to go after what makes you special.
But I have to confess something that looks a lot like a problem.
I spend my days working with AI. I use it for almost everything. And yet, I don't believe in the world the media is selling you.
Yes, AI is enormously useful, for every one of you. But that usefulness has limits: it depends on your job, your context. And above all, for most of you, all the real value is within reach without spending a fortune.
Very often, one AI used well beats a thousand subscriptions.
That's also why I don't have a course worth thousands to sell you. (Unfortunately for me.)
My vision is simple: you should know exactly what AI can do for you, where it's useful, and where it isn't. So you understand where you're unique.
That conviction is what has kept me writing every week for a year. We're at 32 weeks in a row, without missing a single one, and I love it. I also see how much you like the free prompts and artifacts I send you. I want to make more of them, and make them better.
So today, GenevIA is opening up founding memberships.
And because a thank you lands better with gifts, every founder gets three ebooks the moment they sign up, normally CHF 29 each, free:
3 GenevIA ebooks, normally CHF 29 each, free for founders
Le Guide du Prompt (The Prompt Guide): the complete method for talking to an AI, and getting more out of one than out of ten subscriptions.
C'est quoi, l'IA ? (So, what is AI?): the book that finally explains it in depth, readable at 12, useful at 40.
Le milieu disparaît (The Vanishing Middle): our first Ergon Report, the strategic breakdown usually reserved for paying subscribers.
CHF 87 worth of reading, free. A single one of these books costs more than a whole year of support.
If this newsletter makes a difference for you, if and only if you come away with real value, and if you think more people should have access to them, you can be part of it.
Nothing changes for anyone.
The newsletter stays free, for everyone, no paywall.
Members' money goes to one thing: growing GenevIA.
Better content every week, more genuinely useful artifacts and prompts, and a publication that stays open to every new reader who comes on board.
It's CHF 3 a month. Less than a coffee. Cancel anytime. In 1 click.
It would mean a lot to me.
Thank you for being here, week after week. The world is changing, and I'm glad we get to change together!
Talk soon,
