✦ for the girl who thinks ai isn’t for her ✦
two things can be true.
ai can genuinely help your real life. and most of the hype is a waste of your money. this is the newsletter that tells you which is which.
no bro speak. no doom. no teacher voice.
GENUINELY USEFUL
the stuff that actually helps
the hard email. the salary you’re scared to look up. the trip your group chat keeps almost-planning. the text you’ve rewritten nine times.
MOSTLY A WASTE
the stuff you can skip
the $19 app that’s just chatgpt in a trench coat. the fomo. the keeping up. the guy in a hoodie telling you you’re behind.
the prompts, sorted by your actual life
what i help with
life admin
the boring, time-eating stuff. sorted in one prompt.
career girlie
ai for work, getting ahead, and looking sharp doing it.
awkward stuff
the text, the no, the things you’d ask a friend.
beauty / wellness
practical, grounded, and free of snake oil.
content & social
making things, posting them, growing your thing.
the skeptic
what’s worth it, what’s a waste, and where she’s lying to you.
the friend prepping you for the date doesn’t tell you he’s perfect, and she doesn’t tell you to stay home. she tells you what to watch for. that’s what i do here, with ai.
two things can be true. that’s the whole job.
yes, a real human writes this
meet jenn
hi, i'm jenn loferski. i live in portland, oregon, and by day i work in clinical informatics, which is a fancy way of saying i translate complicated software for normal humans. girlies guide to ai is that same job, off the clock, for you.
i started this because i kept watching smart women get talked out of a useful tool. the hype says you're behind, the doom says it's dangerous, and nobody just tells you what to type. so i test everything on my own life first and write down what actually works (and what's a waste of your money).
if we met at an event and this url was all you remembered: hi, you found me.

for teams
workshops
i teach non-technical teams how to actually use ai: what’s worth their time, what’s a waste of the budget, and how to tell the difference. 90 minutes, plain language, zero hype. by day i translate complicated software for normal humans as a clinical informatics supervisor. this is that, for your whole team.
