A lot of people are using AI to write & this puts them at a disadvantage.

Tomorrow, @thabangline and I will show you how to use AI to teach you how to write.

Learn how AI can become your writing coach, research assistant, critical friend & even a supervision support tool, without doing the thinking for you.

As an 11-year-old boy, Elihle made a promise to his visually impaired grandmother that one day, he would find a way to help people like her live more independently.

The secret to building with AI isn't better prompts.

It's better questions.

I broke down how I built my entire site this way Next.js, Supabase, Claude chatbot, MCP deploys. Didn't know the stack going in.

No more just learning AI, this season we focus on people who are building with it.

First up: Tshepo from Lebowakgomo returns with an update on STACU.

[Kgethi Phakeng, PhD(Wits); Hon DSc (UBristol) @FabAcademic]

We have spent months learning about AI, now it’s time to ask a harder question: Who is actually building with it?

We are launching Season 6 of the Sunday Sessions, and this time, we are focusing on case studies of people who are actually building with AI. Because the real power of AI is not in what you know, it is in what you build with what you know.

Tomorrow, @thabangline & I will welcome back Tshepo from Lebowakgomo, who previously shared how he used what he learned in these sessions to build STACU — a platform designed to help everyday people create CVs, business profiles, posters and more using AI.

Tshepo returns to give us an update on his journey and the progress of STACU — something that anyone can use.

This is what Season 6 is about:
real people, real tools, real progress.
