Welcome. In about two minutes, here's what this is, who it's for, and the one thing to do before you leave this page.
The Aiden Vector Brief is for any non-technical person who owns the outcome but not the code. Yes, you. You're the manager or director who gets looked at when leadership walks out of a board meeting and says "we need an AI strategy" — even though nobody put you in charge of the technology. You don't need another newsletter explaining what a large language model is. You need to know what actually matters this week, and what to do about it before the meeting.
That's the entire publication. No hype. No vendor pitch. No link dump.
What you get free — The Brief
Every Monday, one email. Under four minutes. It names the one thing in AI that actually moved this week and what it means for your team and your career. Plus the weekly podcast episode and read-only access to the full archive.
The promise is narrow on purpose: what's signal, fast — so you walk into the week already knowing what you'd otherwise learn three meetings too late.
And one more thing on signup: You get a copy of The Ultimate AI Jargon Decoder — a 22-term plain-English cheat sheet of the AI terms that actually come up in leadership meetings. Decoded, plus exactly what to say. Free with your subscription.
If you're new, read these three first
A fast on-ramp to how this sounds and what it's for:
"How to Survive 'What's Our AI Strategy?' at the Board Level — Without Having One Yet" — what to do when the AI-strategy mandate lands on you and you don't have an answer ready.
"What to Say in the Ten Seconds After AI Comes Up in a Meeting You Didn't Prep For" — three reusable lines that buy you time and signal you get it.
"Every AI Demo Works. Here's the One Request That Tells You If the Product Does." — how to read an AI vendor pitch without a technical background.
Each week brings new posts, but this post stays pinned at the top of the archive — bookmark it.
The two tiers
The Brief — free. The signal layer.
What's actually signal in AI this week, decoded for your role
Weekly, every Monday, under four minutes — plus the podcast and the full archive
Best for: staying ahead of the noise without reading twenty newsletters
The Edge — $15/mo · $150/yr. The action layer — everything in The Brief, plus:
Your Next Move, every Wednesday — the exact thing to say, ask, or put in the plan
Monthly deep-dive report — one tool, company move, or career shift unpacked end to end
Downloadable templates — 1:1 talking points, vendor scorecard, readiness checklist
24-hour early access, plus comments and Q&A on every paid post
Best for: walking into the 1:1, the vendor call, or the budget meeting already knowing the move
The Brief tells you what's signal. The Edge tells you what to do about it.
What to do now
