That's quite a comprehensive look and, scarily, still somehow doesn't begin to scratch the surface on the sheer amount of AI-based stuff that keeps coming out every day. It's enough to give us (or me, at least) a mild case of FOMO on a daily basis. Thanks for a cool overview!

You're spot on. This is exactly how I feel after each issue. The AI landscape is advancing and evolving so rapidly that experiencing FOMO is quite understandable. How do you manage to stay focused? For me, writing this newsletter helps me keep up with new developments while doing things at my own pace.

Honestly, in my own background reading, I'm not focused at all. I pretty much at least skim-read most stuff I come across in the many newsletters and sources I follow. And there's a lot nowadays.

When it comes to "Why Try AI", that's a bit easier. I've made a conscious choice to focus on a smaller slice of the ever-growing AI pie: beginner-level, non-techie crowd that wants here-and-now tips or tools (ideally free) related to AI. This makes it a lot easier to stay focused. I'm also usually taking it one topic at a time to avoid spreading myself too thin. (But I am contemplating to try add a short "X cool things" section to each weekly newsletter where I highlight up to 3-5 beginner-relevant news/tools/developments of the past week, with links)

Yes, your content is the kind that people from non-tech background are very much interested right now. And the new section would definitely be helpful.
