The Natural Intelligence Studio #1
You keep hearing you should be "using AI." You open the blank box. Nothing comes.
You don't know what to do, you're not sure you're allowed to, and you suspect everyone else cracked a code you missed. They didn't. The Natural Intelligence Studio is where you stop reading about AI in those 17 newsletters you subscribed to and don't read. Here is where you actually start building with AI.
Each month, I show you something I made.
The idea, the thinking, the exact prompts, everything. Then we work on yours, live.
This edition: The AI Phrasebook.
I built theaiphrasebook.com with Claude Code, a terminal, and no developer in the room. I'll walk you through how: start to finish, prompts included. By the end you'll be able to rebuild it as-is, or bend it into something of your own: a tiny tool you put online that does one helpful thing, built for a problem you can see.
The run of show
Intro — why we're here.
The Build Story — the idea, the thinking, the prompts.
Open Floor — your questions on the build.
What Are You Building? — we work on yours, live.
Outro — a goodbye, and a challenge for next time.
For any non-tech professional with something to start, or a 9-to-5 they want to be sharper in.
No slides to admire. No code to memorize. Just the lights on and the work in front of us.
Bring a rough idea. Even a bad one.
You don't need anything built. You don't need to be sure it's even possible. A half-formed thought you've been carrying around is plenty. You'll leave with a plan and the first prompts for one thing you actually want to make.
And if you'd rather just watch the first time, come watch. Build with us next time.
The Natural Intelligence Studio is brought to you by Sophie. I work on AI transformation at a big corp by day, and build my own stuff with AI on weekends with a laptop, a dog named Ygor, and zero engineering degree. Proof you don't need to be technical. You need to be curious and a little stubborn. Josh once said about me, "every time she opens her mouth, the world becomes a better place." So I suggest we all open our laptops and deliver on that promise.
