It’s been a productive week behind the scenes at Mercia AI — the kind of quiet, steady progress that doesn’t always make headlines but lays the groundwork for everything else.
If you're new here: Welcome! Mercia AI is a part-time consultancy run by one person (me), helping individuals, organisations, and communities explore AI in a practical, responsible way. This week, I’ve been focused on tightening up the site and making sure everything points back to that mission.
New Blog Categories — With Purpose
I’ve reorganised the blog into clearer categories to help readers find what they’re really looking for:
AI Solutions & Tips: Quick wins, how-tos, and accessible guides for anyone curious about using AI.
Client Problems We Solve: Focused on real-world challenges and how Mercia AI helps solve them.
AI in the News: My take on AI developments and what they mean for you.
Mercia AI News: Like this post — updates, events, and what I’m working on next.
[REACTED]: Nah, not ready to talk about this yet. Its work in progress.
You’ll see more content tailored to these areas in the coming weeks. The goal is to be useful, readable, and actionable — without overwhelming visitors with technical jargon or AI hype.
Client Pages & Services
The “Who Are You?” section was added this week. Each page now speaks directly to different kinds of clients — from jobseekers and freelancers to small business owners and community leaders. If you're wondering “Is this for me?”, I want that section to give you a clear answer.
And, after a long and epic battle, Mercia AI now has a Google approved Business Profile.
Behind the Scenes
There’s also been a fair bit of testing, planning and raised eyebrows — especially around [REACTED]. Nothing announced yet — but it’s coming.
Next Up: AI Jobseeker Webinar
The next public-facing event is a free AI Jobseeker Webinar running on Saturday 19th April. If you're looking for work and curious about how AI can help your CV, job hunt, or career strategy — that’s for you. Check out the service link below , and yes — it’s 100% free - as long as you use the JOBHUNTER20 coupon, which goes live on Thursday 17th April.
Thanks to everyone who’s followed the journey so far. The site’s still growing, the content’s still forming and the ideas keep brewing up in my head at 11pm — but step by step, Mercia AI is taking shape.

None of this work (heck, Mercia AI itself) would have been possible without: Tea. 🍵 Coffee. ☕ A breakfast croissant. Several, actually. 🥐 The occasional bacon batch. In Sky Blue Land, we call it a batch. 🥓 And several walks to burn it all off. 🚶➡️
