Have questions about Zero to AI?
Zero to AI is my honest, step-by-step journey from beginner to confident AI practitioner. I share the wins, the mistakes, and the practical tools so mid-career professionals can reinvent their work with AI—without the hype or jargon.
Experienced professionals — consultants, managers, analysts, advisors, specialists — who are good at what they do and want to integrate AI without starting from scratch. Particularly suited to NZ and Australian professionals in roles where knowledge, judgement, and domain expertise are the product. If you’ve been doing your job for 10+ years and want AI to amplify that rather than replace it, this is for you.
Start with Episode 1 — ‘The Journey Begins’ — then open the matching blog post for the transcript, prompts, and step-by-step exercises. Each episode builds on the previous one, but you can also jump into any topic that’s immediately relevant to your work. The episode archive is searchable by topic.

No. Most workflows use no-code tools combined with clear prompts and checklists. When code appears in an episode, Steve explains why it’s needed, provides copy-paste snippets, and usually offers a no-code alternative. The goal is always the fastest practical path — not the most technically impressive one.
You’ll build practical, reusable skills — writing better with AI, automating repetitive tasks, improving research quality, and designing simple AI-assisted processes that save hours each week. Over time, you’ll develop enough depth to advise others on AI adoption or pivot toward specialist roles if that’s where you want to go.
It’s built in New Zealand with a NZ professional context — but the workflows and lessons are globally applicable. The NZ grounding means the examples are realistic for the scale, regulatory environment, and professional culture that NZ and Australian professionals actually operate in. Not imported from a Silicon Valley context and retrofitted.
Yes — copy them, adapt them, and make them yours. If you share them publicly, a credit to Zero to AI is appreciated but not required.
