Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Tiny Bytes

Most people use AI to answer questions. But it can also make things: checklists you can tick, pages that count down, little tools for your family or business. In every issue we'll show you one you probably didn't know it could do. Copy the prompt, pop it into the AI app on your phone, and see what you get. It takes a minute, and there's no coding.

It works with whichever AI you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or something else. If a build needs a specific app or a paid plan, we'll say so up front.

Tiny Bytes comes from Pick & Mix Studios. We build game-inspired eLearning for a living, and we believe learning should feel a bit like play. This newsletter is that idea, pointed at AI.

In every issue

What's in each issue

• The main build

  One useful thing, made in a few prompts, with a live example you can try.

• Prompt makeover

  A vague prompt next to a clear one, and why the clear one wins.

• Feature in 60 seconds

  One handy feature explained simply, and where to find it in each app.

• When it goes wrong

  A common mix-up, a quick quiz, and the fastest fix.

• Reader challenge

  Something to make yourself. The best ones get featured.

Here's the kind of thing you'll get back. Go on, tick a few off.

That's it. You just turned a to-do list in your head into something you can use.

Coming next Saturday

Build a countdown page

Next week you'll make a page that counts down to something you're looking forward to, then share it with a link so friends and family can watch it tick too.
