The first issue
Our first published newsletter explored Midjourney Alpha and OpenAI's Converge programme. A starting point for making a fast-moving field more understandable.
Learn. Apply. Grow.
Turn curiosity into everyday capability. Smarter with AI brings you clear explanations, useful tools and practical workflows to help you understand what matters—and try it for yourself.
Our reach, in real numbers
Since December 2023, we have been making AI easier to understand, explore and use. What began as a newsletter has grown into a regular learning habit for a worldwide community.
Snapshot: 16 September 2026. Subscriber and publication counts from beehiiv; opens from its all-time Posts Report. Opens accumulate across issues and are not a count of individual people.
Why we do this
AI is changing how we work, create and learn. Making sense of it should not require a research background—or hours spent chasing every announcement.
Smarter with AI connects important developments with practical next steps: an explanation that makes a concept click, a prompt to adapt, a tool to explore, or a workflow to try.
Our contribution is a growing library of accessible AI knowledge, delivered consistently. The goal is to help more people move from watching AI evolve to finding their own way to use it.
Our community
A community of people connecting AI to the work they care about.
