From “I feel behind on AI” to “oh, I can do that”.
Everyone’s talking about agents, and you’re still juggling Claude or ChatGPT, getting some good out of it but not sure how to go further. Watch how I work with AI, and leave confident, capable and curious about what you’ll do with it next.
At my workshops, in meetings and at events, I keep hearing the same three words:
“I feel behind.”
The people saying them have run teams, businesses and family diaries, and taken every new bit of tech in their stride since dial-up. This one has them stumped, mostly because everyone else seems to have worked out something they haven’t.
You are not behind.
What I hear right after it isn’t a worry at all. It’s an ambition:
“I’d like to do more with it, build more, and create more.”
Second chapters, side projects, businesses to grow, ideas that have been sitting in a notebook for years. People want AI helping them get there, and they want to know how.
So I’m opening my laptop and showing you how I work with AI, day to day. What the words mean, how I brief it, how I hand a task over, and what I check before I trust a word it says. You’ll try a few things along the way, and I’ll send you everything afterwards so you can keep going on your own.
No hard sell. You’ll learn something real, and leave able to do something you couldn’t do this morning, with the confidence to go and do it.
See you on the 5th.

Different people, the same messages.
If one of those sounds like you, you’re in very good company, and this session was made for you.
Watch me hand AI the inbox, the admin and the bits you never wanted on your plate, and spot where your own hours could come back.
A repeatable way of working with AI, so it stops being something you keep meaning to try and becomes something you actually do, every week.
Ask me anything. Your question is usually the one someone else was sitting on, so we all learn from it. If I don’t know, we’ll work it out together. Helping people figure things out is my favourite part.
You’ll be Switched ON to what you can build next.
People always ask me where to start with AI. My answer is always the same: the best thing you can do is actually just complain. So go and have a good moan. Open Claude or ChatGPT in a fresh chat, paste this in and swap the bit in brackets for everything on your plate.
What goes in: one honest moan, pasted into a fresh chat.
What comes back: three questions first, then the bigger picture.
What’s on my plate at the moment: [talk it out, messy is fine]. Before you suggest anything, ask me three questions, one at a time. Then tell me the challenges you can spot and where things could be easier or better. Finally, pick one thing you could take off my plate, and tell me how you’d go about it.
Don’t tidy up what you ask. That’s what the three questions are for.
Even better, say it out loud. I talk to AI all day with Wispr Flow, and you can try it free for 90 days at wisprflow.ai/nishma. It isn’t an affiliate link. I’m such a fan that I’ve invested in the company. It’s changed my life, and I’d love you to try it.

You’re Not Behind. Get Switched ON.
I had such a brilliant evening at Nish’s first Switched On learning session. The atmosphere was warm, positive and welcoming… Nish made everyone feel comfortable asking questions and experimenting. I definitely left feeling energised, more confident and excited to keep exploring AI!
ClaudiaI’ve been enjoying experimenting with AI but am super-aware that I’m not even scratching the surface. I learned more in the 2 hours with Nish than I have in months and can’t believe how simple it can be.
LouWhat a great evening! I have been adding things to my folder all weekend and have now got daily updates on the important emails in my inbox, and I have developed a speaker pack to send out for new business… I genuinely learnt a lot!
AnnaYes. No card, no catch. Just your first name and email, so I can send you the joining link.
Whoever you are, you’re welcome. The room will probably be mostly women, lots of us over 40, so you’ll be among friends.
Early stages. If you’ve used Claude or ChatGPT to search for something or draft an email, you’ll be absolutely fine. If you’re already building agents and more complex set-ups, this one isn’t for you. After you sign up, five optional questions tell me where you’re starting from.
Claude or ChatGPT. Either works.
Zoom and a laptop, Mac or Windows. You can watch on your phone, but it’s much easier to try things as we go on a laptop.
No. You only ever share what you’re comfortable sharing. We cover the safety basics, including the settings worth checking, and your judgement decides.
Please do. Send them this page, so each of them signs up with their own email and gets their own link.
Monday 5 October, 6pm to 7:30pm UK, on Zoom. Free, with limited seats.
