Welcome to Sawdust Silicon — start here
One tested AI playbook a week, in plain English, for people who run real businesses and nonprofits. Here is what this is — and where to begin.
You're in the right place. Sawdust Silicon is a practical AI playbook for people who run real businesses and real nonprofits — written in plain English, tested before we recommend anything, and usable the same day you read it.
Every week you get one tested playbook: a single AI workflow — for grant writing, donor thank-yous, volunteer scheduling, board reports — explained step by step for the person running the mission, not the IT department.
No hype. No jargon without an explanation. If a tool isn't worth your time or money, we'll tell you straight.
Start with Issue #1: The skeptic's welcome — the playbook that sets the tone for everything we publish.
Want more than the newsletter? Audits, quick-win kits, memberships, and voice agents are all at sawdustsilicon.com. The free signup lives there too: sawdustsilicon.com/#newsletter.
Glad you're here. Let's get to work.
