I put together a free resource guide for the series — all the tool links, copy-paste prompts, and a glossary of terms in one place. Bookmark it so you don't have to hunt things down mid-video. https://t.co/SCmApiYFjF
Small tip: if your request has a few parts, number them. “1. Find the date. 2. Draft a reminder. 3. Keep it short.” It’s easier for the AI to work through, and easier for you to spot if it skipped one.

Word of the week: “bot.” In a messaging app, a bot is an account run by a program instead of a person. You text it like any contact, and software reads your message and writes the reply. Some can even be hooked up to an AI agent.

Afternoon check-in now that the texting episode is out: if you could text an AI from your phone, would you pick Telegram, WhatsApp, or neither yet? “Neither yet” is a perfectly good answer.

Imagine texting your AI like a friend — and it texts you back when the job's done.
Telegram or WhatsApp? Here's which one makes that easier for beginners (and why it's not an even coin flip).

Teaser for Monday’s Ep 10, “Text Your AI Like a Friend: Telegram vs. WhatsApp for Beginners” (first person, so tweak if it doesn’t fit)
Tomorrow’s episode: texting your AI the way you’d text a friend, and getting a text back when the job is done. I compare Telegram and WhatsApp as a beginner, and one of them turned out to be a lot easier to start with.

API key. Tokens. Most tutorials assume you know what those mean.
Episode 9 explains both from scratch, before Monday's episode on texting your AI like a friend.

API key. Tokens. Most tutorials assume you know what those mean.
Episode 9 explains both from scratch — because you shouldn't have to Google it mid-setup.

New AI models come out almost every week now, and I used to feel behind every time. What helped: I don’t need the newest one, just the one I’m getting comfortable with. Does keeping up with all of it stress you out too?
#ClawCurious#AIforBeginners
Weekend homework, totally optional: ask Claude to quiz you with three easy questions about something you learned recently, AI-related or not. Getting one wrong is part of it. Tell me which topic you picked.

Honest moment: not long ago, the words “API key” would have made me close the tab. Making one turned out to be mostly copying a long password into a settings box. A lot of AI jargon has something pretty ordinary hiding underneath.
#ClawCurious#AIforBeginners
Small tip if you ever make an API key: treat it like a password. Don’t paste it into a public post, a shared doc or a screenshot. If one slips out, delete it and make a new one where you created it. That’s normal, not a disaster.
#ClawCurious#ClaudeAI
Word of the week: “token.” AI doesn’t read text word by word. It reads small chunks called tokens. A short word might be one token, a long word a few. Tokens are how AI use gets measured, so they come up in talk about limits and pricing.
#ClawCurious#AIforBeginners
Afternoon check-in now that the API keys and tokens episode is out: was there a word in it you’d like slowed down? Reply with it and I’ll try to explain it in one plain sentence.
#ClawCurious#ClaudeAI
Tomorrow’s episode: API keys and how tokens work. Both sounded like insider terms to me. Short version: an API key lets an app use AI on your account, kind of like a password. Tokens are how that use gets counted. I’m learning both from scratch too.

Happy Halloween! Seasonal question: what part of AI still feels a little spooky to you? For me it was the idea of it doing things without asking first. Saying that worry out loud helped me sort out what was worth worrying about. Yours?
#ClawCurious#AIforBeginners
Weekend homework, totally optional: paste in a short paragraph you wrote, like an email or a note, and ask Claude to sum up your main point in one sentence. Did it get what you meant? If not, that tells you something too.
#ClawCurious#ClaudeAI
I used to feel behind every time a new AI tool came out, like I had to try them all. I’ve mostly stopped. Getting comfortable with one (for me, Claude) has taught me more than hopping between ten. Picking one is allowed.
#ClawCurious#ClaudeAI
Small tip if you try running AI on your own computer: start with the smallest model on the list. Models can take up several gigabytes, and bigger ones run slower on everyday laptops. If the small one works for you, then try sizing up.
