Welcome to NOVEN

What this channel is for, who it's for, what you can expect from it, and how everything on this site fits together.

1 min read

There is no shortage of AI content right now. Most of it falls into one of two piles: breathless takes about how everything is about to change, or dense technical material written for people who already understand it.

This channel sits in the gap between them. The goal is simple: help you use AI well, starting from wherever you are.

What you'll find here

Two places, depending on what you came for.

  • Lessons is the video curriculum, grouped into tracks. If a whole topic feels fuzzy, work through a track from the top; if you have one specific question, search or filter and take just that.
  • Writing is tutorials like this one. Some things are easier to read than to watch, and anything you'll want to copy, paste or refer back to usually ends up here.

Who this is for

You don't need a technical background. You don't need to know what a transformer is, and you still won't afterwards. That isn't because it's being hidden from you, but because it almost never matters for using these tools well.

What helps is a willingness to be skeptical. AI is genuinely useful and genuinely unreliable, often in the same answer, and the whole skill is telling which is which.

What I won't do

A few promises, so you know what you're subscribing to:

  1. No hype. If a tool is mediocre, I'll say so.
  2. No "this changes everything" thumbnails. Most things don't.
  3. No pretending to certainty. Where the honest answer is "nobody really knows yet", that's the answer you'll get.

Where to start

If you're not sure, start with What AI Actually Is. It's the foundation for everything else here.

Otherwise, browse, search, and follow whatever's actually bothering you. There's no required order.

I'm still setting up the newsletter. Subscribe on YouTube in the meantime and I'll announce it there first.
