Hands-On AI: Welcome to Hands-On AI
Hands-On AI is the show that turns AI confusion into AI confidence. In this introductory episode, Mikah Sargent lays out what the show is and isn't: short, focused episodes — most 10 to 15 minutes — that take one question, one tool, or one technique at a time.

And some weeks are honest verdicts on the tools everyone's talking about. This show is a conversation. Send your AI questions to [email protected] or…
