No big deal if you've never done one. Show up once. Bring a question or a thing you're stuck on. Leave with one idea you can actually use.

The letter

Biweekly. Monday morning.
Like a letter, not a newsletter.

Simple, no-fluff AI workflows — from what's actually working for me on the farm, at the desk, in the house. The stuff I'd tell a friend over coffee.

Built for regular life, not just builders. Short enough to read before the kettle boils. Useful enough that you keep opening the next one.

Light and shadow. What's useful, what's overhyped, what actually works.

Every other Monday

Start here

Run your life from Telegram.

A zipped project template and a plain-english guide. Free.

This is the setup that changed the trajectory of my career — and it's simpler than it sounds. Claude Code, MCP, and a few small pieces wired together so I can run my digital life from a chat on my phone.

Voice notes. Tasks. Calendar. Docs. Email. All talking to one place. Beyond copy-paste. Beyond chat windows. This is what it looks like when AI quietly does the admin so you get your time back.

You don't have to build it from scratch. I did that part already.

Who

One human,
from a farm in Aotearoa.

Billy is a storyteller, technologist, and wellbeing practitioner from Aotearoa New Zealand. Grounded in place at Mangaroa Farms, building tools for real life.

AI is changing the trajectory of my career. I want to show you how it can do the same for you.

— Billy · Stay human.

A few questions

Things that come up.

Is this for me if I don't code?
Yes. Written for regular life, not builders. If you can text a friend, you can use what we cover. The letter and the call are in plain english — no terminal, no jargon, no assumed stack.
How often is the letter?
Biweekly — every other Monday morning. That's it. No surprise drops, no cadence creep. One click to unsubscribe if it stops being useful.
What about paid stuff?
Not yet. The call is free. The letter is free. The starter kit is free. When there's something worth paying for, you'll see it — not before.
Where's Mangaroa Farms?
Mangaroa Valley, Upper Hutt — forty-five minutes north of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. That's where the tools get built.
