The Kitchen Table Guides

AI, sorted out at the kitchen table.

Pick the moment you are actually in, and get something you can use before the kettle boils. Free, no sign-up, nothing tracked.

Start anywhere

You do not need to understand all of it

You only need to handle the bit in front of you.

Each guide takes one real moment, explains what is going on in plain terms, and hands you words, a checklist, or a decision already made. No jargon, no doom, and nothing to sign up for before you get the answer.

What do I say?

Your child asked something about AI and you had four seconds. Pick the moment, pick their age, and get words that sound like a person rather than a script.

Is this cheating?

They used AI on an assignment and you do not know whether to be cross. Where the line actually sits, and a rule your household can live with.

Coming soon

If this is useful beyond your household

I talk to schools and parent groups about this

Plain terms, no doom, and time for the questions people are actually sitting on. Staff development days, parent evenings, community sessions and conferences.

There is a book, if you want the long version

Now with Added Algorithms is everything here thought through properly, for parents who would rather understand it than keep up with it.

What should the next one cover?

More guides follow every month or so, and what they cover depends largely on what people write in and ask about. If there is a moment you would like a guide for, reply to any email and say so.

Simply Put

One email when a new guide goes up

The guides stay free and there is nothing to buy at the end of them. Simply Put is plain-language thinking about AI at home and at work, for people who are busy, practical, and a little sceptical of shiny things.
