A few years ago, I was working at a local newspaper. Now, it's time to share my own headlines. Some would call this destiny. I call it progress – powered by purpose (and maybe just a little AI. And cold-milk cornflakes in a heatwave).

We're excited to announce a new way to stay connected, stay informed, and get ahead with AI. Starting Saturday 28th June, Mercia AI is launching a brand-new monthly newsletter – designed for individuals, jobseekers, and small business owners who want to use AI practically and effectively.
Think of this newsletter as your personal shortcut to working smarter. Each month, we’ll deliver insights, updates, and practical tools straight to your inbox – no jargon, no filler, just real value.
What You Can Expect Every Month
Welcome from Chris A quick check-in from me 👋🏾 : what I’ve been working on, what’s coming up, and the honest reality of running a part-time AI consultancy.
In Case You Missed It A round-up of recent blog posts from Mercia AI, with quick summaries and links so you can catch up at your own pace.
Problem of the Month A common pain point we hear from clients – and how one of our services helps solve it. Always real, always relevant.
AI Tip of the Month A bite-sized, practical piece of advice to help you get more from AI Chatbots and other AI-tools, whether you're job hunting, freelancing, or running a business.
Bonus Corner Something a little lighter: a quirky or surprising AI use-case we've come across. A reminder that AI can be useful and fun.
Upcoming Events by Mercia Minds Be the first to hear about our local, offline events designed to help people across Coventry and Mercia understand and explore AI.
Subscriber-Only Offers Occasional discounts or newsletter-exclusive perks. Just a small thank-you for being part of the Mercia AI community.
It’s free to join, and we’ll never flood your inbox – just one edition, on the last Saturday of every month. And if you ever want to unsubscribe, that’s just one click away.
If you’ve found our blogs or events useful, this is a great way to stay updated without needing to check the site each week.

P.S. If you're curious about how AI can improve your writing – from emails to blogs – don’t miss our next Mercia Minds event, Write Smarter with AI, on Thursday 3rd July. Free tickets and full details are available here.
Let’s write the next chapter of AI together.
