Fieldcraft / Start here

Start with one useful piece of work.

You do not need a technical background or a team to begin. You need a question worth exploring and a way to tell whether the result helps.

I am Kyle Dickinson. I write Lake Effect AI Notes to work through those questions with you. The Field Guide gives you examples and working sheets to put the ideas into practice.

What is on your mind?

  1. Start here / 01

    I am curious, but I do not know where to begin.

    Leave with a small experiment and a way to judge it.

    Try: Choose one job worth trying

  2. Start here / 02

    I have tried AI, but the results need too much fixing.

    Improve the draft and count the effort it takes to make it useful.

    Try: Make a better request

  3. Start here / 03

    I am unsure which tool belongs in my work.

    Define the job before choosing what to use.

    Try: Compare tools around a real task

A few minutes to begin

What did you repeat last week?

Write down one task, the material you would start with, the draft you would like back, and one mistake you would need to catch.

That is enough to begin choosing an experiment. Before using organizational information, read What never goes in. You can practice with fictional material while you work out what is appropriate.

Follow your curiosity.

Read Lake Effect AI Notes for ideas, or browse the Field Guide when you have a task in mind.

In Duluth, community gatherings offer a place to compare notes. When you need help inside your business, see how we can work together.
