Weekly email · UK trades and sole traders

AI, in plain English, for people who do the work.

Once a week: what changed, whether a plasterer, spark, plumber or one-person firm should care, and one thing to try. No tech jargon for its own sake.

What you get each week

Short enough to read before you leave the yard. Three parts, same order every time.

01
What changed
A short note, in plain English, on an AI change that could touch a UK trade. Written in our words, with a link to the original.
02
Should you care?
A yes or a no. Prices in pounds when money comes up. UK rules, such as GDPR or Making Tax Digital, only when they actually apply to a job or a one-person firm.
03
One thing to try
A prompt you can copy for a quote, an invoice, or a reply to a review. You still check the measurements, the spec, and the price.

People who price work, chase invoices, and answer customers. The big AI emails assume you work in software. This one assumes you have a van.

We search the AI world every week so you don't have to.

We do not invent subscriber counts, and we do not hide an advert inside a tip.

Issue #1 is below. Older ones will follow it in the archive.

14 October 2026

Issue 1. Gemini's upgrade, Android scam-text protection, an AI agent that sent a made-up police tip, and a prompt for chasing an unpaid invoice.
