CURRENT WEDNESDAY EPISODE

EPISODE 4: THE GRIMOIRE

The book with the answers, open at last. The words, the tools, the receipts, and how to actually use AI — so you stop guessing.

Buffy, the Halliwells, the girls of The Craft — every one of them had a power she had to learn to wield. Yours is AI — and like them, you’ve got a whole story arc to master the craft, episode by episode, ritual by ritual. Demons not included.

WHAT’S INSIDE

The universe has a map.

Start with the Bag. Then open the Grimoire, go to After Hours, join the Club, or get oriented before the next Wednesday Episode.

The Origin Story

Built by one woman, pushed forward by the right group chat.

Six months ago, I could not get an Amazon Women-in-Tax newsletter to send properly. I work in tax, not tech — not a developer. The ideas were there, but they kept stalling behind someone else's time, budget, or availability.

Then I started using AI. Since then I have built a personal command centre, designed agents for research and operations, and joined an Amazon Women-in-Tax hackathon where our team built Echo — an AI product VPs now want in production. And I built everything you are looking at right now.

Receipt

Five days from "I have never built a website" to a living, glitter-covered AI world.

With AI, the idea stopped waiting for a traditional tech on-ramp. In under three weeks, the vision became a newsletter, website, visual system, quiz archive, games, agents, Episode packs, and a community space people can actually use.

P.S. I do not have this all perfectly figured out. If you spot a problem, have a better idea, or know a shortcut — tell me. We are all in this together, preferably with better snacks.
