It's Sunday evening. Glad you're here.

I want to tell you something I haven't shared publicly yet.

A couple of months ago I had an idea. I wanted to create a space where women could actually sit down and use AI — not watch someone else use it, not read about it — but try it themselves, with someone walking right alongside them.

Last week I finally did it.

And the night before, I was nervous. Not the butterflies kind. The what if I'm not ready kind. The what if the technology doesn't cooperate kind. The what if someone feels lost and I can't reach them fast enough kind.

I showed up anyway.

Within the first twenty minutes, women who had told me they'd never really used AI before were sitting with their phones, typing questions about real things in their lives — and getting back answers that actually helped.

One asked where to start with a craft room she'd been avoiding. Another finally understood what macros are and what to do first. A third typed out her laundry room situation and got one concrete next step.

Not a plan. Just a place to start.

These are not tech-savvy women. They are smart, capable, curious women who just needed someone to show them that AI isn't complicated. It just needs the right question.

That's the whole thing. That's all it is.

I've been thinking about that a lot this week — how many times we stay on the sidelines of something not because we can't do it, but because no one has walked alongside us and shown us that we can.

Maybe that's the whole lesson. Not that we need to be ready. Just that we need to begin — and it helps to not begin alone.

That's what I want this space to be for you every Sunday evening.

Jaycee was nearby the whole time, completely unbothered, which felt about right.

Until next Sunday,

Jane

P.S. If this letter landed for you, will you forward it to someone who might need it on a Sunday evening? They can subscribe here:

P.P.S. The next Think With AI workshop is April 16 — a small, unhurried space to try this yourself, with someone walking right alongside you. Ready to begin?
